</p><p>This is a piece that went through
many changes. Originally I had multiple people in the street scene as if there
where a bunch of people milling around. But as things developed I
could see the figures were just a distraction from the real drama. I even
considered taking out the figure near the door and just leaving the car- I
still don’t know if I made the right choice. Don’t be surprised if you see
another version of this one. (I often feel compelled to do certain images again
and again.) </p><p>This one was just really fun. I loved working with the street light creating a cone of a lighter color. The back window of her vehicle creates a frame within a frame, and the dark color flows into her silhouetted profile and the buildings on the street. I tried to make a contrast with the bright
yellow, the cool watercolor blues, and the flat dark brown/black.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Keep your eye open for a woodcut version of this piece! <br /></p>

of certain themes, creating many versions of the same basic image. He
also sometimes worked on one painting for many years. <br />I love the

They are like a wall, or a blank page.

His landscape are muted and empty, and even when he painted citiscapes, he found an unusual point of view to express an atmosphere of mystery. But he is best known for his interiors, and the multiple depictions of people’s backs, particularly the nape of a woman’s nape neck. <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

It was a book that was used to gently, or not so gently tease me when I was small. </p><p> I was a very poky little puppy. </p><p>It was an affectionate and perhaps slightly desperate attempt to get me to look up, to focus, to walk faster, and stop dawdling! The rest of my family seemed to be endlessly charging ahead, onto the next, and the next, and the next activity. </p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeF6CpoYaaXfH8bB9rbYGUJXmZ_4uAS0WcMDO64CmdEbdzo1s6w_lguA4HTz4GF56VA4j4-CM8_HTUI2vdJSh74suAN_LgLiA1UdTXpsSDDy4it0orJWYWLgijtkxEse7fKOaZ-RkrbhP_/s585/poky+little+puppy1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="362" data-original-width="585" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeF6CpoYaaXfH8bB9rbYGUJXmZ_4uAS0WcMDO64CmdEbdzo1s6w_lguA4HTz4GF56VA4j4-CM8_HTUI2vdJSh74suAN_LgLiA1UdTXpsSDDy4it0orJWYWLgijtkxEse7fKOaZ-RkrbhP_/w386-h239/poky+little+puppy1.jpg" width="386" /></a></div>Later in life, about 40 years of age, I was diagnosed with <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/add-and-attention-deficit-disorders-2161810" target="_blank">Attention Deficit Disorder, Inattentive Type</a>. Much of my middle age has been spent trying to manage my errant mind with new found understanding, and to making up for time lost drifting through my almost rudderless young adulthood. <p></p><p>Frustrating, yes, but ADD is closely associated with having a creative mind. No one really knows why. I think it is because all that wandering brings one to unexpected shores and vistas. I heard it once described this way; if one doesn’t think linearly, (marching forward along a path), then one tends to think laterally, that is, back and forth and side to side. </p><p>A curious feature in many folks with ADD is called “hyper-focus”. This is when my normally wandering mind suddenly gets into gear, and I become completely engrossed in one activity for long periods of time. This is what happens when I make art. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMtXk4jMQvwwJPsqqmxW599kyir3DeEDCNmm9jTGenDCmHzeygHqAJezpLWthhxvll3150MjTXLXr-2tnm024ZntblCPHdKdLSEruZdZuJa9RSaHVXRyxS0lAjljNaE-G4YIUODC3yJKOV/s896/at+easel.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="896" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMtXk4jMQvwwJPsqqmxW599kyir3DeEDCNmm9jTGenDCmHzeygHqAJezpLWthhxvll3150MjTXLXr-2tnm024ZntblCPHdKdLSEruZdZuJa9RSaHVXRyxS0lAjljNaE-G4YIUODC3yJKOV/s320/at+easel.jpg" width="229" /></a> I have come to recognize that I
am a slow, deliberate artist. Each new attempt takes a long process of
conceiving, sketching, drawing, transferring, painting, maybe collaging.
When I am “done” with a piece, I will set it aside for weeks, months,
and peer at it as it sits in the corner of my studio. I glance at it
over the rim of my coffee cup, send it sidelong glances as I work with
another piece. Then, often, it hits me. “It needs<i> this…</i>” <br /></div><p>I will go
back into the painting, and it will transform, like a make-over or
a mid-life crisis. It will deepen and mature. Having that time to let
it hibernate and incubate will often make a good piece into a
great one. </p><p><br />So it goes to show that life isn’t always about the next
thing, and the next, and the next. Sometimes we need to stop and smell the
strawberries. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73pp18JbzQqMwhaT6Xu6u0LQNL2JDe9tYvmS7sAN7kA-DaNvXPDAIrOkItgTPPaTMfpPTVeQeOqT3H2ARpHTSp_sUGb3fOUgLzBxBDh-LjzyJB5aC9dPbH1mkQwrQpLtaXhQDXTl1iBQu/s1779/poky.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1644" data-original-width="1779" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73pp18JbzQqMwhaT6Xu6u0LQNL2JDe9tYvmS7sAN7kA-DaNvXPDAIrOkItgTPPaTMfpPTVeQeOqT3H2ARpHTSp_sUGb3fOUgLzBxBDh-LjzyJB5aC9dPbH1mkQwrQpLtaXhQDXTl1iBQu/w394-h364/poky.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><p>One such slow transformation unspooled during the creation of <i>Exit</i>, one of my latest pieces of art.

Similar to the myths and stories of old, the characters are driven by forces larger than themselves and are so very, very human.

The themes are an undying fact of what it is to be human. <p></p><p>For now, I am entirely caught up in the dark labyrinth of film noir.

At some point, the character will take on a life of its own, and the author becomes more of a communication medium for a seemingly autonomous being they are somehow the guardian for, but no more. The characters sometimes do things the author doesn’t expect, and the plot can take turns that even the author is surprised by. <br /><br />Lately, I have found that the figures in my art are starting to speak to me and have a life of their own, just like might happen with an author. I had an interesting thing happen along these lines. <br /><br />Usually, when I need to draw a male figure, I take pictures of myself in male drag. First I draw what I see in the photograph, then go on to “masculinize” myself. <p></p><p></p>I flatten the chest, broaden the shoulders, narrow the hips, square the jaw, and so on. I was all set to go through this process to create a piece that eventually became <i>The Knave of Swords</i> seen <a href="http://lesliepetersonsapp.blogspot.com/2021/06/a-return-to-painting.html">here</a>. I used some binding to flatten my chest under my shirt. Then I realized I
needed a new reference photograph of myself without the shirt on in
order to understand the position of the shoulders. <br /><br />That’s when the character took on a life of its own. Then I realized I had a treasure. <br /><p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRudq_bcmt9txySzr24bdxeFaGD2YolVC8TBpkjVrsd4-okEl4ouSjZFJqlI1YjDDPOeOqTuEGgn04k5FqjjfAFJdENnL1eP-smu4DBYFiIQiRnFSHmGlwNVpBIgQcvaXuv0s_ofH2N5g/s2048/Drag+king+in+binding.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1329" height="546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRudq_bcmt9txySzr24bdxeFaGD2YolVC8TBpkjVrsd4-okEl4ouSjZFJqlI1YjDDPOeOqTuEGgn04k5FqjjfAFJdENnL1eP-smu4DBYFiIQiRnFSHmGlwNVpBIgQcvaXuv0s_ofH2N5g/w355-h546/Drag+king+in+binding.jpg" width="355" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">©lesliepetersonsapp Untitled Drawing<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_binding#History" target="_blank">Breast/chest binding</a> has a very, very long history, and has been done for a number of reasons.

Obviously, a Queen. Which suit? Which suit would pack the most amount of symbolic punch?<br />I started to research the four card suits and any symbolic meanings that might be associated with them. I was especially enjoying The Queen of Spades. In cartomancy she is supposed to represent a woman who is intelligent and strategic. She is also featured in a book by Pushkin and an opera by Tchaikovsky. Sometimes she is called The Black Madonna, Black Maria, or The Black Lady, and is considered a powerful, “unlucky” card. In Hearts and Old Maid, she has the power to end the game. There is a variant of Seven Card Stud Poker where she is featured called “The Bitch”. In Pinochle she and The Jack of Diamonds make a significant hand, boding doom for one’s opponent. I thought she would be the perfect candidate for this femme fatale, this goddess of chaos I was dreaming up. I was even considering making a companion piece called The Jack of Diamonds.<p></p><p><br />But my curiosity led me on an unexpected journey.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeZBdpZBNsKDmIYubJCUvDo7H7rRUEffflqMBeyOgHQQJQeuzFOUSGG74IpoWSGwEYT1oi-Tsr-WWPatjSHH7DzGp27MTR2xPIUhKm3mR5ZQwdLi7o1Oe8XTolnwqlXeXchRl7chjr12s/s274/bullworth.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="274" data-original-width="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeZBdpZBNsKDmIYubJCUvDo7H7rRUEffflqMBeyOgHQQJQeuzFOUSGG74IpoWSGwEYT1oi-Tsr-WWPatjSHH7DzGp27MTR2xPIUhKm3mR5ZQwdLi7o1Oe8XTolnwqlXeXchRl7chjr12s/s0/bullworth.jpg" /></a></div><p>Way back in 1998 I saw the movie Bulworth. In it there is a scene where the main character, played by Warren Beatty, says to an audience full of African Americans “Let’s call a spade a spade” and the crowd erupted with indignation. Ever since then I have passively wondered about that and I thought now was the time to look up the phrase. </p><p>It turns out it has evolved into a racial slur. </p><p>The evolution of the phrase is fascinating. It used to mean “call it like it is”. It comes from an ancient Greek saying "to call a fig a fig and a trough a trough." Which is in itself a sexual double entendre- get it? Figs? Troughs? (Never mind. It seems like everything back then was a sexual double entendre.) </p><p><br />In an evolution that I only vaguely understand, the phrase was translated from Greek to Latin, from Latin to English. Note that during this time the term “spade” was still referring to gardens and gardening tools. </p><p><br />During the Harlem Renaissance it started to be used by Black authors to refer to “Blackness” and also to playing cards. Terms like “Black as the ace of spades” started to be used (possibly an expression of “colorism” in the Black community). But then, like so many things, it got appropriated by white authors and evolved into a derogatory term. </p><p><br />So, what about my new main character as The Queen of Spades? Well, it gets worse. The term “queen of spades” has evolved (or devolved) even further to refer to white women who fetishize Black men. I don’t mean date or marry or love a Black man, I mean sexually fetishize Black men, often in company with their white male partners. This is dual objectification; of the Black man, and of the white woman. It is a particularly ugly form of racism.</p><p><br />Out of my ignorance, I almost walked face first into a racially charged image. </p><p><br />Imagine that. Imagine I had not seen Bulworth all those years ago, had not remembered the term, had not decided to search Wikipedia for the phrase, had not done an additional google search specifically about The Queen of Spades. I would have made a piece of art featuring a sexy, very white woman, (white because I was thinking about the white of the playing card and wanting the painting to have echoes of that) and called it The Queen of Spades. What is doubly alarming is that I had been musing about completing that Pinochle hand by painting The Jack of Diamonds, and arbitrarily creating him as a Black man. </p><p><br />All completely unaware. </p><p><br />I have gone through my life submerged in whiteness and white culture, to the extent to where there is a racial slur, I might not even know about it or see it for what it is. </p><p><br />Some people might say that I am being overly precious, too “PC” or too “sensitive”. Furthermore, it might be said that many people don’t know about this particular racial slur, so why would it matter? But one of the values I hold is to be respectful of all people as much as possible. In order to do that, I need to learn about when I might be doing or saying something that is racist, because racism does harm. Period. It is important because even if I don’t intend to be racist, it doesn’t mean I haven’t caused racial harm. </p><p><br />Not only that, my audience is wide and varied, and I want everyone who interacts with my art to be able to relate to it- or at least not feel disrespected or hurt. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJxJP57Y57fD4l7DS3qO4ZMXEcwRASettNYs0dZuoNc_JjnfAQVI2Yt7xEN8eJqLYmN2bMxNKU8hZvlD18sjS0ND-gB8312Rxw5v05UmfK2cedGCX5E_r3TohfJ3cnb5amuWHmJgZPEZvP/s1352/which+suit.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1352" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJxJP57Y57fD4l7DS3qO4ZMXEcwRASettNYs0dZuoNc_JjnfAQVI2Yt7xEN8eJqLYmN2bMxNKU8hZvlD18sjS0ND-gB8312Rxw5v05UmfK2cedGCX5E_r3TohfJ3cnb5amuWHmJgZPEZvP/s320/which+suit.jpg" /></a></div><br />So, it was a simple matter of rethinking my metaphors. Away from the stormy waters of the suit of spades and toward the equally intriguing subjects of Love and Money. Love with The Queen of Hearts, and money with the heartless Queen of Diamonds. In fact, I turned it to my advantage by creating an engaging online poll in my social media communities, asking my fans to vote on which suit, hearts or diamonds would best represent my newest femme fatale. The Queen of Hearts got a good showing, The Queen of Diamonds was the undisputed winner. <p></p><p><br />So, The Queen of Diamonds, she is. <br /><br />To read a good article about the evolution of these terms, visit<a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/19/224183763/is-it-racist-to-call-a-spade-a-spade"> Code Switch from NPR </a><br /> </p><br />Leslie Peterson Sapphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05842460709759378633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353355442795923313.post-40208189894638821482021-04-27T10:10:00.000-07:002021-04-27T10:10:01.999-07:00National Tell a Story DayWith narrative art such as mine, we are reminded that there is more than one way to tell a story.

The site of the famous Moulin Rouge, and an incubator of art and culture. A partial list of artists who hung out there over the years include Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, van Gogh, Raoul Dufy, Picasso, Les Nabis (Vuillard, Bonnard), Matisse, André Derain, and later Langston Hughes, Josephine Baker, and Django Reinhardt. <br />And yes, she was <i>born </i>there! </p><p><br />She was very poor, and her father is unknown. She quit school at age 11 and by age 15 was an acrobat at the famous Cirque Fernando.

powerful female characters. The zenith of film noir was from the
1930’s-1950’s a time of extraordinary change for women, particularly
during WWII, when they took up jobs vacated by men who were off at war.
The war, plus the changing role of women in society, created nationwide
anxiety, much like the anxiety evidenced in our own times.<br /><br />However,
with some exceptions, the classic femme fatale of those times was not a
feminist figure. She is not a fully developed character in her own
right, but tends to act as a foil for a male character's unfolding
drama. Many people think she is a protofeminist, whose disruptive
presence and self-serving motivations were a meaningful precursor to the
feminist movement. <br /><br />A terrific article in Crime Reads <a href="https://crimereads.com/the-evolution-of-the-femme-fatale-in-film-noir/" target="_blank">"The Evolution of The Femme Fatale in Film Noir"</a>,
Halley Sutton describes the evolution of the femme fatale from the
heyday of film noir to the neo noir of today. Her use of her sexual
power to get what she wants is still intact, but her personhood is
affirmed and sometimes she is even the primary character! Imagine that! <br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknwr1OGvd7dmTgBzFuhb2SUEiYA41OHz6oJvZtRTS_LbdTM50XKVCvk4ULr3_XmCKby_Oy2UPtgIxNXn47igQVWEoQHBysQoriuhQzIgxJdt_FQqBGy3UsqMR1pk7_nHmzAgaVienujqd/s806/Leslie+Peterson+Sapp+Gamp+woodcut%252C+lesliepetersonsappfineart%252C+woodcut%252C+printmaking%252C+woodcut+prints%252C+moonlight%252C+film+noir%252C+film+noir+art%252C+1940s%252C+vintage%252C+moody%252C+femme+fatale%252C+red+umbrella.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknwr1OGvd7dmTgBzFuhb2SUEiYA41OHz6oJvZtRTS_LbdTM50XKVCvk4ULr3_XmCKby_Oy2UPtgIxNXn47igQVWEoQHBysQoriuhQzIgxJdt_FQqBGy3UsqMR1pk7_nHmzAgaVienujqd/s320/Leslie+Peterson+Sapp+Gamp+woodcut%252C+lesliepetersonsappfineart%252C+woodcut%252C+printmaking%252C+woodcut+prints%252C+moonlight%252C+film+noir%252C+film+noir+art%252C+1940s%252C+vintage%252C+moody%252C+femme+fatale%252C+red+umbrella.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">2020 Leslie Peterson Sapp <i>Gamp</i> </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>In
my own work I am wrestling with the issues of stereotypes- am I
perpetuating them? Does the work I produce actually uphold my values? My
use of nostalgia and depictions of a by-gone era seems to give me
license to stay in my comfort zones and repeatedly depict figures that
are young, slender, and largely white. <br />The only answer I have for
that is that I keep trying. I keep questioning myself, educating myself
and seeing how I can stretch my comfort zones. <br />What new dramas unfold? <br /><br /><br /></p>Leslie Peterson Sapphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05842460709759378633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353355442795923313.post-21235333022971162692021-02-10T10:09:00.001-08:002021-02-10T10:09:40.246-08:00Love Stinks<p> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

We all hope that we will be held in an embrace of mutual respect, understanding

destructive, obsessive, doomed romances flickering on the silver screen in a
good film noir. </span></p>

as she has snuck into an office at night, perusing documents on
a desk. The green glow of the desk lamp
illuminates her black jacket. Her profile and veil are silhouetted by the hall light shining
through the office door window. Windows within windows, spies spying spies, rectangles framing one another, frames
within frames. <p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What she

Sure, my art career took a hit. But I have plenty, I am surrounded by loving family and friends, I am safe and healthy. I am indeed one of the lucky ones. For this I am grateful. </p><p><br /><u><span style="font-size: large;">The Year of the Pivot</span></u></p><p>Boy howdy, we all had to pivot, and my artistic path was no exception. For some time now, I've been cruising along, avoiding change. Then Covid hit and I was forced into it. Here is the list of all the new things I did this year:</p><p>1. I invested in an art business class by Alyson Stanfield at <a href="http://www.artbizsuccess.com/" target="_blank">www.artbizsuccess.com</a> Through working with her I have rebranded my website, had more fun with the language I use when talking about my work, upped my social media use, and, as you may have noticed, wrote more blogposts!<br /><br />2. I taught myself a whole new medium, printmaking. Again, as the economy has contracted, my hope is to have a wider array of price points to appeal to a larger audience.<br /><br />3. I have set up my first <a href="https://www.lesliepetersonsapp.com/shop.html" target="_blank">online store</a> so I can sell some of my work directly to you.<br /><br />4. I had a major exhibition “Story Without a Plot” at <a href="http://riverseagallery.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">RiverSea Gallery</a>. Along with the regular preparations for a show, I took a crash course in online communications, producing a live video recording of the opening and an online artist talk. These videos are preserved on my blog <a href="https://lesliepetersonsapp.blogspot.com/2020/08/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />5. In response to Black Lives Matter, I made a commitment with a few friends to learn more about racism, and how I unwittingly contribute to white supremacy by my own lack of understanding. As you can imagine, this work has been unpleasant and difficult, but I am so glad I have the opportunity to learn and to hopefully be part of the solution in my own small way.<br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><u>Perseverance</u></span><br /><br />If there is anything my new-found middle-aged wisdom has taught me, it is that without perseverance success is impossible. I have committed time, money and effort into my career with no immediate results. However I've got the feeling I am headed in the right direction, and I am truly excited by what lies ahead!<br /><br />I would like to thank all of you out there who have supported me over the years, and I dearly hope that my efforts have brought at least a weensy bit of levity and inspiration to you.</p><p>I am sending you all warm thoughts and hopes of good luck and a Happier New Year.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxuE-p8C4aM58zSyQuityNPBonZiwdHJ2Iwry1pliUUG9LhXPgkqi3M6LGL2vcF6iSzysgsRVz3EZiI86E4YS8sknDh8T5W6jFlEeAIIOEmfbOVszm3578Yk0i_eOy1pCLI2ImlMcvNKlR/s933/2021.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxuE-p8C4aM58zSyQuityNPBonZiwdHJ2Iwry1pliUUG9LhXPgkqi3M6LGL2vcF6iSzysgsRVz3EZiI86E4YS8sknDh8T5W6jFlEeAIIOEmfbOVszm3578Yk0i_eOy1pCLI2ImlMcvNKlR/s320/2021.jpg" /></a><br /><br />PS. Alyson sent along a wonderful article by Rosie Spinks:<a href="https://rojospinks.medium.com/2020-will-never-end-unless-you-grieve-it-71910e183c3c" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://rojospinks.medium.com/2020-will-never-end-unless-you-grieve-it-71910e183c3c">2020 Will Never End Unless You Grieve It</a>. It helped me have more awareness about the collective emotions we have about the year that has been. I hope it does the same for you. Love to you and yours.<br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"></span>
