doojable

I just read that quote this morning. It's correct - though I believe a different person's mother made the insightful statement. I never did find the actual article.

I hope she's not too obscure (hint ;) ) She wrote about NOLA... The Edith Wharton quotes reminded me about this author. Does that help?

A note on art in the bathroom... I'm not only an artist, I've also been a professional picture framer for over 20 years (somehow that job I got as a WOW paid off ;)) I never recommend putting any framed art in a bathroom that gets steamed up from the shower. Paper responds to humidity in a bad way, as does canvas. Sofa paintings.... *sigh* don't get me started... You know you're in trouble when a woman enters the shop with a print and a pillow and fabric samples. <_<

Those Segways are looking pretty good... ;)

Question: Wasn't all of New Horizons allowed to go in rez all together - just to keep the group together? Comment on ordination: So here you have these pseudo-ordained men running around - some of them starting their own mini-cults and ordaining even more... What's that they say about a copy of a copy? Things start to deteriorate...rapidly.

New Horizons?

I sure hope you weren't in long.

The victoid practiced the ultimate bait and switch here. He took a situation where a woman in pain came to him and he made about him and worked it to his advantage: So he offered to take away what little support she felt she had left. There is the "ever watchful spiritual advisor" <_< - offering support again. And there is the vampire that would suck the life out of a person in pain in order to fill the emptiness in his own miserable life.

I like the way the grey of the trees almost falls into the vibrant colors of the leaves. Then it comes forward as a dark at the top of the trees. I think that any artist that has a feel for seeing (and mastering the use of) negative space as well as the positive space will have a feel for the abstract.

Not Flaubert. Here's another quote from the author's only (known) novel:

Is this it Lindy?

I think he was painting his version of Salome (you know - the chick who wanted John the Baptist's head.) The model for that painting was in several of his works.

Well, let's see if anyone knows this author.

At least it was a fuel efficient car...

Teach Your Children - Crosby, Stills and Nash

Gustav Klimt - He was an amazing draftsman. (one who draws) Here's one of his favorite models (and most likely more) This was painted when he was very interested in decorative patterns And he did like the prostitutes (at least that's what the books say) Here are some other of his works:

Edith Wharton?

HEY! How did come it doesn't read, "get my happy foot out of there" ???? My... you ARE a wizard! Edited... apparently you can't quote the magic.

WOW! All that in one day?! Seems like you and your favorite 13 year old know how to handle what life throws at you... "What to do when the pizza hits the dashboard..." It's a bummer that this was a new car - but at least you more likely than not have the insurance to cover it - since it is a new car and all... Did you ask Ron_G for some of his venison recipes?

"She's a heck of a lot prettier than Leia." Yeah, I'll give you that, but what's with the skull on her desk there? She's a black magic woman - that's a crystal ball in her hand. Looks like a dangerous woman to cross paths with... I've heard some say all women are dangerous... ;) And what are all those broads doing in my bass pond? You didn't know? They're the bass's girlfriends. Sheesh, the fish are getting skittish... Those water nymphs are scary gals.

"He looka like a man..."

She's a heck of a lot prettier than Leia.

If you like Bouguereau, then you may also like John William Waterhouse:
