Last of the TREES for a while. I'm painting a scene from a pic I took three decades ago on a Greek island. No trees. Not even a leaf!
You, too!
Movies are too expensive and boring, or they are fast fast fast action movies that give me an eye headache.
Oh man! >3
A heroic effort by true heroes, American style. Hats off to all of them!
Around here we call those sudden heavy downpours "Gully-washers," even though in this flatland there are no gullies.
This painting took a long time to do. It nearly exhausted my patience and when I varnished it the feeling was as if I had done my last trees. But....
They televised it so many times! The planes smacking the towers and the smoke and the collapses. I refused to watch it. I have a theory that the desire to watch that over and over again is akin to why some people watch auto racing - to catch the wrecks and collisions. As for me, I have no desire to dwell on the horror that killed so many innocents, but I choose instead to go on.
Reunions get to me now. I am glad you were the "seeker." They are probably not in as good shape as you if they were glued to their seats. Yesterday an old Beta pledge brother from BGSU, Stan Osur, from northern New Jersey now, visited me for a couple hours. We last saw each other on graduation day 1966. 45 years! We had a damned good day yesterday. I will have to pull the same trick on him some day and drop-in on Stan with a few more memories to stir up. What a good day it was.
I already have to buyers interested, but I have yet to wrap it up and price it!!!
Long coffee story cut short: I can tell what kind of coffee it is by chewing the roasted bean. believe me. No sh*t. If your taste buds say it is a different beast, then it IS a different beast.
There is NO "Debt crisis." It is/was a political buzzword to be the leading edge excuse for fighting all of the Democrats' legislation. The handle was the debt ceiling law. The US is the only major nation with such a foolish mechanism. The Republicans and Fox just cannot come around to accepting a black (actually half-black) president of the United States. It is all about prejudice and re-election cash.
Nothing wrong with a good party, or whipped heavy cream, or salmon from cans, unless you have to clean it up afterward.
