Art
My first academic painting was of Fred Astaire dancing… it was very animated and was quite proud of it. I felt it really captured him. It was chosen to be in Palomar College’s art magazine that year… but I was flattered but disappointed that they mislabeled it colorized photo… and not acrylic painting. I still have said painting.
Just so long as they don’t scamper away and hide under the bed.
… with an evil giggle.
… and a knife.
And PLEASE don’t go making any paintings of garden gnomes!!!
hee! I feel this way when I write an especially evocative passage.
…and then it turns into a Terry Gilliam cartoon!
Pete… indeed!
Rich… and I DID do a painting of a gnome and donated it to The Miniatures Fundraiser show for the Monterey Museum of Art… last year. I was rather fond of the little painting… measuring 6×6.
Chug… It just comes to life, don’t it?
Dada… THAT would be fun…
Cute!
Uhm… Randie?
Your paint’s running…. 😛
The Auld Grump
Hey, at least you can say that your painting was so good that it was mistaken for a colorized photo.
Uh oh, Randie has a man loose in her place. Wait a minute. Hmmm.
qka… thanks!
Grump… ha ha! Good’un, Grump!
Gramy… true… but I didn’t want people to think that THAT is what I did. Quite frankly, I had given Mr. Astaire 4 fingers… (like cartoonists do) and that should have been, well, an obvious change.
Jack… ha ha… a very tiny dancing man. A wee man… a man of smallish stature, a wittle man…
Eh, Fred Astaire… ‘Can’t sing, can’t act, can dance a bit’….
One of the great descriptions of somebody, along with ‘Fat, slow, can’t run’ – the Red Sox coach’s description of Babe Ruth… all true, and none of it mattered. Once the ball goes over the wall ya don’t need to run….
But Fred Astaire could act, if the part fell within his range – and a lot of parts did fall into that range.

The Auld Grump – the last movie that I remember seeing him in was Ghost Story.
