Here you and I can find what I learn "When I Survey" nailed up.

Coffee Creations

Today I had coffee with a cousin and an aunt at a local dive. Kennedy Coffee, owned by a family member of a dear friend (hey Pasha). For the last few months they've had some modern-esc art on the walls both for display and for purchase. I was not personally impressed by the pieces. It wasn't my "thing." But today they had some art work more suiting to my eye.
It's basically watercolour with espresso as the medium. It's mostly some java takes on some classics. So take something I like, classic art work, and repaint it with something I like to drink, coffee. I'm liking this. So visit the painter's website and give a grin in response to the clever coffee creations. Then if you're in the area head to Kennedy Coffee and purchase a painting with your "Velvet Elvis" or "House Mocha."

Happy Holidays!!

Sharing the Wealth

A fellow blogger has posted a painting of hers that I love. When you click on the link and view the painting:
1. get over the nudity, it's art....David has been nude for hundreds of years but we usually only see his head in our sanitized society.
2. Take a good look at the brushstrokes. They show a motion almost like breathing. It's stunning!

Let It Snow

We finally have snow here in NW Arkansas. It has been flirting with us for some time now but here it is and not a moment too soon. It's been a while since we've had a good snow before Christmas. Maybe this one will linger on the lawns.
I was walking through the local promanade with a couple of friends when I took a moment to cross my eyes (something I like to do from time to time) and saw that a snowflake had decided to linger on my nose. I immediately thought of the song which says "snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes." Does anyone else think it funny that that song has amazingly become associated with Christmas over the years? I suppose it's the reference to snowflakes and "brown paper packages tied up with string." I think I might use that this year in honor of an unlikely Christmas song.
Happy Holidays...Happy Holidays
