I'm Watching Dark Shadow, the old Gothic Soap opera. I tried a new way of doing a self-portrait. I looked in a cosmetic mirror and did not look at paper as I did my self-portrait. It was quite a different experience. It wouldn't be easy. I'm hooking up with FACE OFF.
I'm not sure where my country is heading. At times, I just want to crawl into a hole and shut the lid. President Trump's behavior toward the jet and helicopter crash on the Potomac River is just plain cruel. Then, blame it on DEI ( Diversity—Equity—Inclusion). Take a listen to what Trump said about AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL. A lease the first 3 minutes.( Blue vase - 1920 – Style Metaphysical art and post impressionism – Genre still life – place unknown)
Today, Murphy and I had lunch at the senior center. Before we ate our lunch, someone led us in mealtime prayer. When we said "Amen," some guy said, "God Bless" Trump. I don't know who it was. I didn't see who it was. "God" wouldn't be pleased with his behavior. Trump's behavior is arresting.
Our lunch was great: potato soup with ham and bacon in it.( On the outskirts of town – 1941 – Style Post impressionism – Genre landscape – Place Unknown)
February is my birthday month. If the road is good, I will head to Spokane to spend time with my son Bart's family. We haven't had Christmas, so I will miss my art intuitive group. But now we are gathering at Lore Coffee Shop for drawing on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. I'm sure My Art Intuitive form is welcome. Then, next Wednesday, I will be going to the watercolor group. (Fiori – 1950 – Style magic realism – Genre flower painting – Place nnknown location)
Today, the art movement is called METAPHYSICAL, and I'm sharing the works of GIORGIO MORANDI.
Coffee is on.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun self portrait. I hope you have a good time visiting your son.
ReplyDeleteI heard your fearless leader understood that the plane crashed because so many of the passengers were Russian skaters (Yevgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov), their family and their skating coaches. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe road ahead is frightening for the world on so many levels.

I almost forgot about Dark Shadows. Sometimes I still catch episodes of Twilight Zone showing up here and there.
ReplyDeleteGreat self portrait! The soup sounds good at the center.
ReplyDeleteUnless the prayer is specifically for someone, that guy was out of line. Can't fix stupid though. As for your self portrait, I LOVE IT!!!! I think it is brilliant. Wonderful art this week. Thank you for sharing with FFO.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are able to spend time with your son.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I listened to a little of that interview but when trump said "I have common sense" I turned it off in disgust. Your self portrait is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the still life. trumpie dump is a horrible human being who, I believe is incapable of every saying or doing the right thing. When he comes on I have to look away and or turn down the volume. I read what he says, I just can't listen to him. I think it's going to be a very long and hard 4 years of him with his cult.
