Drawing

Fellow blogger Granny Annie at Fools Rush In has been participating in a 29 Faces Challange where you draw a face a day for February. I think it would behoove you to check out her work.

Since I'm on my own this weekend, I thought I'd look for some of my drawings from the past... back before marriage and kids, back before social media, back when I had time to myself and I found this assignment for my Humanities class. We were tasked to take a famous painting, copy it, and then write a paper about the artist's intention.

This is Mastisse's The Dance:



And this is my reproduction of Matisse's The Dance:



I've always enjoyed Fauvism, but I chose this painting because I had procrastinated myself out of doing a more realistic and detailed drawing. I would have much preferred copying something like "Lamentation Over The Dead Christ" in pencil, or "Prayer Hands" because I was more comfortable drawing detailed work in pencil and/or charcoal, but they weren't in the textbook so I picked an easy alternative: Nekkid people dancing around.

Believe me, I have grown since those college days.

Suppose you're doing a live four hour news show that starts at 6 am ET and you only have a 2 1/2 minute bathroom break in which to run down the hall and travel to a different floor to reach the nearest restroom. I think you'd want something closer, too.

Islam: The Jinn Is Out Of The Bottle

I believe this is the most important paragraph:

John Griffing writes, "Western leaders are aiding and abetting this insanity with a consistency and single-mindedness of purpose that can only be explained in one way: they must think they have something to gain from the chaos created by this crisis."

Food for thought when you vote this November.



[The BLOG note: Hat tip to John Griffing for the word, "Pigslam".]
