"I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music." Joan Miro’

I am making more use of links, music and visual. Click on them and then you might have a second link to search. Some locations, such as YouTube generate revenue for your "free" viewing by running ads, so be patient. On occasion there is a "skip ad" button. Sometimes it will load and start when you go there, sometimes you need to click on the white arrow in the red box.

I hope you enjoy the updates to my art and life as presented in this blog. IF you don't like the political stuff and don't want to receive future blogs just say so, no hard feelings. So far, only five have taken me up on the offer. With that in mind, remember: BELOW THE FOLD is where (most) of the controversial stuff is placed. Sometimes stuff is a hybrid, say humor and political. Nevertheless, I do this blog for me, it clears my mind and then I do it to share stuff I think is interesting, fun, needed to be considered, etc. I like, also, the feedback I receive, either on a specific article or the concept in general. Right now there are about 70 of you who receive this directly. Claude

ART:

 Did this collage for a friend, new medium for me.

8 x 10” pastel of neighborhood pond. 


Interesting art app: Remove


 I used my finger to try it out, should work better on solid shapes.

FLORIDA:

Evening walk, the lower cloud mass was a storm east of here with lightening and everything

Morning walk

(Hate his politics, but this song cuts to the bone/soul

The link will take you to my favorite of his Regroovable

Fun video for a song I like a lot

WATCHING:

These are the real-life parents in BlindSide movie


HUMOR:

A lot of these are headlines for the parody site BabylonBee.com if you want to read the full hilarity...


 😂



 The staff wanted to boycott Elon because he made too much money? I guess they will pass on their next raise...



Real news...only in Saint Louis, right?   People voted for her😬



I FIND THIS INTERESTING:

 Follow-up 

 Perfect example of “Fake News” controlling the narrative...what CNN viewers DON’T see, for example.









BELOW THE FOLD: WARNING:

 Prayer 


    If true knowledge of God depends upon immersion in the Holy Spirit, then that knowledge is a function of an entire form of life, involving prayer, self-denial, the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and the forgiveness of one’s enemies. We don’t think our way to an understanding of God so much as we live our way to it.

Thomas Aquinas always said that he owed his theology far more to the persistence of his prayer than to the acuity of his mind. His penetration of the divine mystery flowed from his life in the Holy Spirit. And so today we pray, “Come, Holy Spirit, come!”

I have mentioned before - Jordan Peterson pointed out to me what Scripture meant when Jesus said he came to divide...son vs father, brother vs brother, etc. The Truth will divide. There are some things on which compromise will not work...human slavery, abortion, sex trafficking, real love vs. sex attraction.
