The weather report...
I did not post today - today being November 9, 2011.
I always post. Every day. Sometimes several times a day. What up?
I can't say right now. I'm just not sure. But I am painting a lot.
Quick news:
From Sally Tomato: "Snow flurries expected this week end in New Orleans."
My question is, am I or am I not included in your blognic painting? And if I am - I really hope you aren't depicting me as Austin Powers. My British accent is way better than his.
None of your friends are in the painting? What fun is that, Ter? I was looking forward to playing "find Larry". Dang, I even hoped you might have one of those blogcontests--you know giving away a free print or something to the first person to guess all the identities of the bloggers in the painting correctly. You'd prolly sell a lot of prints too.
Gette - every time I go in to begin painting I just crack up - the painting makes me laugh - so I'm not sure that the subjects will be all that flattered, and I'm really sure most of my blogger friends would prefer not to be included. It's not great art but it is a lot of fun to paint.

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings'. - Sonnet 29
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you and for those who do not, especially the enemies of the Church and those recommended to you.
Holy Name of Jesus
Arise O Lord and let your enemies be scattered, and let those that hate you flee before you!"
Welcome to the original Abbey-Roads!
What a dump!

Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them. Speak with tenderness. A brusque remark could drive them farther away." - He and I
I can't wait to see what you're painting.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I started posting on my "blog" again, and it has nothing at all to do with bitching about religious stuff!

Seriously?

ReplyDeleteLarry - I'm sorry - you aren't in the painting...
Terry - that's ok. I didn't really expect to be.
ReplyDeleteLarry - none of my friends are in the painting.

ReplyDeleteThere's still time to change it, you know ;)
