Doctor Office


This is a painting I seen in a doctors office I think it suppose to be Tuscany or someplace in Italy I just love how vibrant  the yellow is in the wheat field. The trees and houses in the background give it depth . And the browns and reds in the foreground make it warm. I don't know who did it but I do like it very much.

Painting with Acrylic


This is a painting of a Indian girl she is sad because the white man destroyed her culture. Kind of like the Romans destroyed Northern Europe's culture back in the 1st century or the Viking invading from the 10th to the 14th century's. changing the culture of all the places they invaded and settled. Or Islam's conquering of northern Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. Or Alexander the Great taking over Persia bringing the Greek culture with them. I don't know how I got on this my story here is about how acrylic paints are not a good choice to use for portraits they dry so fast that it is hard to get them to blend properly. My point is some things blend together and some things don't. Some people assimilate into the new culture and some never will . This is not for sale it is unfinished..

Super Bowl

What a great thing the NFL's Championship game has become. One newscaster stated the other day it is a new American holiday. Yes a simple little ball game has transformed this country for a week or so into a football frenzy. Transforming what ever city it is performed in. Into the most desired destination of the month. All the media will be there to try and get the story. And if they can't find one they'll make one up..  All the out of work actors and musicians looking to network there services.  All the pimps and prostitutes doing there jobs. All the bars and restaurants raking in the bucks with alcohol and food and the bartender can get you any drug you want. All the police just waiting to bust your head if you get out of line and get five or ten thousand dollars in fines and court cost and lets don't forget lawyer fees. And of course all the gambling that is going on. So as you can see this is truly an American holiday. It has sex, drugs, food, gambling, violence, sports and entertainment everything American's lust after and enjoy. So have fun and get your fill...
