PROVOCATIVE THOUGHTS:
The late Patric Standford may have written these short pieces deliberately to provoke our feedback. If so, his success is reflected in the rich range of readers' comments appearing at the foot of most of the pages.
Twenty-nine-year-old visual artist Jeromyah Jones has created an allegorical 2'x3' oil-on-canvas painting of New York-based opera singer June E Townes. In the painting, summer begins with the sound of June. The painting, entitled The Month of June, was first exhibited on 19 June 2019 at the single-evening Juneteenth Art Reception hosted by the Metropolitan Business League at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia.
June E Townes is the founder of the music genre Gospera, intertwining opera and gospel music. Gospera is also the name of the group which performs with her.
