Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in Feb. 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024.

Art is my soothing home place

 

Mary Cassatt

Norman Rockwell

Autumn In The Northland by Franklin Carmichael, Canadian Group of 7

Today's quote:
This was great when addressing votes for the election, but has been even harder to follow after the results.




Some good advice.

    1. Since I rely upon my saved Social Security, yes, I am very wary of changes that could happen the way promised by the orange one (who thankfully has changed to a tanner look).

  9. Hi Barbara, We love art as well to include oil paintings, water colors, sculpture, ceramics, basketry, drawings, fabric art, lithographs and more. The walls of our home are loaded with artistic endeavors. They do let one's imagination explore the possibilities. As for our current situation, we will prevail despite the negativity and new issues surrounding our change in government. It's 'only' four years and in most cases, political parties who capture the Presidency and both houses of Congress lose at least one branch of governmental control in the next legislative election...which is only 2 years away. Love Norman Rockwell's works...as they usually reflect the best of us...and if his works show the worst of us, they are designed as a message. As for the sweet corn bread, it does label me as a transplanted Yankee. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
