Recreating Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo’s Circa-1759 “Roofs and Chimneys of Country Houses”

I originally posted the following artwork I created, along with comment, onto my Facebook wall…

(Artwork by Rayn, and originally located here)

My Commentary: Created in Spring 2000 for art class at Stony Brook University.

The assignment was to recreate an illustration of Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo‘s circa-1759 “Roofs and Chimneys of Country Houses” using black ink, a dip pen, water and a paint brush on white 8×10 paper.

Peace Activist Cindy Sheehan Rates Rayn’s Music and Artwork on Facebook!

Upon my request through Facebook, peace activist Cindy Sheehan listened to my song, “America,” and afterwards, she was kind enough to post a review onto my wall…

Cindy Sheehan: America…awesome song, Rayn…believe it or not, I really like Hip Hop! You are very talented…

Later that same day, I posted the following artwork on Cindy’s Facebook wall, substituting the word “Iraq” in my original piece (here) for “Afghanistan.” In response, she again took the time to post a response!

Here’s a screenshot of the interaction…

"Be Grateful, Citizens of Afghanistan! America has given you the gift of Democracy!"

“Be Grateful, Citizens of Afghanistan! America has given you the gift of Democracy!”

I want to sincerely thank you, Cindy Sheehan! I truly appreciate your time and consideration!
