So-yes. There is art on this blog. Where did it come from ?Well the red head with the blue backdrop is my work done after the Spoletto LaMaMa trip in 2006. I did Tai-Chi on this hill every morning and it overlooked the Umbra. The second work is Ophelia and the Mermaids. I like comic book art so that is why they look that way. By the way-people do read this stuff even if there are no comments. I get nice e-mail. Clara likes my art. Don't you Clara ?Our friendship has outlasted our pet lives. We first met in first grade. She invited me to her birthday party at Nathan's. We shared a desk at lunch. Lunch was in Sr.Hillary's classroom. You were allowed to share a desk and eat with someone. It was a big deal to buy ziti or pizza or candy from upstairs. The round table in second grade was donated by the electrical company. It was a giant wooden spool that once had wire on it. In third grade we wrote a story a week. Rough draft due Thursday,then after gym you got the corrections. Friday was the good draft and presentation. I wrote about space rocks and brought in a garden stone to represent my space rock. It is so sad that so many students can't write a story a week. Thank you Ms.Emmanuel. She had a Bon Jovi poster in her closet. That was kinda cool. For Halloween we dressed up like saints. I was Agnes. Brought a lamb to school. It was stuffed.So I hope to post another painting. I am working on a Mary painting. Like a cool-comic book Mary. We will see. By the way they closed down both my grammar schools. ICS and Holy Rosary. Some of my ICS classmates work for Diesel and Teen Vogue. Cool beans. But we all had rough drafts due Thursday.And we all had classroom chores. I use to clean the offices with Johannes Weber. I think he went on to Yale. He played tennis.
Someone had to clean the boards and dust the shelves. Someone watered the plants. Chores in school. Those were the days.
