One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for October 22, 2014

Close enough…

I hope so.

I hope so, given the direction the model in the painting is pointing…

Oda humanity. (Well, that’s a spelling for it I saw once.)

Kinda surprised that neither kid said anything about the nudity.

Pauline Bonaparte, the sister of the Emperor Napoleon, once posed for a statue, posed much the same and wearing as little as the lady in the painting. When someone asked her if she hadn’t been uncomfortable posing that way, she said, “No, there was a nice warm fire in the room.”

Art is in the Eye of the beholder! I may be able to describe Good Art, but I know it when I see it!Apologies to United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart.

Good morning Dazz.

I’m surprised the US entertainment industry doesn’t endorse Christianity for making their profits possible.

From what I have read about personal hygiene in those days, I would be willing to bet that the model was anything but odorless.

When in my teens, I painted an oil on plywood using a mirror. My mother destroyed it- I wish she had not, as I’d like to see how I saw myself at that time.

The painting can be found here.
