I didn't feel the need to add any commentary, I think the Owl speaks for it's non-gender self.
Oops! I guess I did make a statement about political correctness. I just can't keep my mouth shut!

I was up until 2 am framing last night, the glamorous life of an artist. What a strange way to make a living. Everyone is fascinated, when I tell them what I do as a living. Then at the same time for many years it was a running joke on TV sitcoms.

The daughter brings her boyfriend home to meet the parents. Then, they discover that he is an artist. "You can't marry this guy, he is an artist, what kind of life would that be. How will you live."

I guess an artist more fascinating from a distance.

Happy Late Independence Day

We just watched the movie again for the Ga- Billionth time. I have teenage boys, for some reason they like movies where things get blown up. Of course, I was watching it with them, so what's that say about me?

At the end they only have 2 minutes to coordinate an attack against all the evil Aliens ships across the planet. Wow! They actually did it! The movie was done pretty well. Except, the scene where the Alcoholic, Loony Pilot, flies his ship into the alien ship and blows it up. They might as have tied a model plane to a string. That was so fake looking, I can't believe they put it in the movie.

Without that scene, the movie would have been totally believable!

I am still preparing for the art show. I feel like I need to paint some water paintings, as the show overlooks lake Michigan. I am totally not in the mindset to do that , as I have been painting a lot of Landscapes. It is sometime hard, if not impossible, to switch gears.

At present I'm getting ready for a show and painting to stay ahead of my Internet sales. It's like having 2 jobs. I guess, since I'm also the Book keeper, Web Guy, Framer,Salesman, Marketing Agent, it's actually more like having 10 jobs. But who's complaining!

The grasses and trees were all dappled on with the same worn out bristle brush. I don't know what I will do when I finally have to throw that brush away. I really need to get back to painting.

I have been on the computer trying to keep everything up to date. That's the part of business that I hate. Painting is the fun stuff!

As of late , I seem to be focusing a lot on skies. Big dark imposing skies. Maybe it is a subconscience thing, as we how been having an unusual amount of bad weather coming through for about a month. Maybe I'm causing the bad weather. Perhaps I should start painting happy paintings.
