Welcome to our House Laurie Fox Pessemier acrylic/canvas 12 x 12" 30 x 30 cm 395.00
I was in a total funk this week, with mundane earthly tasks. The detritus we carry around is ever so heavy and boring. So, on Friday afternoon, despite high winds and threatening weather, we went for a dip in the Ganges. We were the only ones – the current was enough to pull a “floater” like myself over the falls. Luckily, Blair, the “sinker”, guided me to a safer perch. I notice that Blair’s swimming has become stronger, and mine, while I have little danger of drowning (I can float for hours) has become weaker. I could never beat my nephews, like I once did, in a race around the buoys today.
Flies Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/canvas (not stretched, but frameable) range in size from 8 x 14" (20 x 35cm) to 8 x 9.5" (24 x 20cm) 100 each or best offer
What really catapulted me into happiness on Friday was the story about how the order for 18,000 waters at Taco Bell flummoxed AI. I can picture the fizzle and smoke coming out of the drive thru order box. I think we should all think of something we can do to thwart AI. It could be like when Mao had everyone catch at least 10 flies a day to eliminate China’s fly problem (this was part of his less humorous 4 pest elimination program: flies, mosquitoes, rats and sparrows In fact, the elimination of sparrows created the world’s deadliest environmental disaster (famine) because there was nothing to eat the insects who were chomping on the grain) Later the sparrows were replaced with killing cockroaches).

But back to this week: neither of us painted much, so this is a short note. I do have giant ideas for the future: for one, I am thinking of offering a $25.00 painting evaluation service – you send me and Blair a photo of your painting (with any text input – what were you trying to do?) and we’ll send you back our best advice on what might improve it (or just say move over, Mona Lisa, this one is the winner!)

INVITING All Artists to present their Work: Paint, Literature, Crafts, Food....

How it works: Bring a piece of your ART: that could be visual, like painting or printmaking; or literary, as in poetry or prose; or crafts, like metalwork or knitting; or food, or music. Something you made, or feel particularly inspired by. You have about 5 minutes to present, and we'll ooh, ahh, or answer questions you have. You can also come and see how we work before diving in. Just show up on Zoom at a minute or two before the hour. No selling, no networking until after everyone has presented. No politics, no sales pitches, please.
