Mary says we need to pray for peace in our own hearts. Only then can we pray for peace within our own families and communities. Finally, we can pray together for peace in the entire world. Because you see Our Lady says that when we try to pray for peace in the world, not having peace in our hearts, that prayer is not very strong.

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:

 Number 4 in my car series: 14 x 11” oil on wrapped panel; Ford Shelby Mustang GT500.

Lakes Park scene, 10 x 8” oil on wood panel.

OTHER’S ART:

   An art colleague has a piece in an international show. She travels between Key West and STL. Pretty good gig.

   

I just wanted to show you how an artist translates a piece of real estate into a work of art, in his style.

One night on The Late Show, Johnny Carson hosted Bobby Fischer after he became the world champion. I started the video and couldn’t turn it off. BF brilliant mind, JC master of the interview...got what he wanted but entertained at the same time. Oh yea, remember when he could sneak a puff off to the side. And Ed interjected briefly but right on time.

   Well, last blog when I covered the book on the filming of Breakfast At Tiffany’s I meant to include this 

link to a song:   After the screen with lyrics pops up you might have to tap it to start

So, into what percentage does this fall? I had to type part of the sentence because I kept hitting caps lock instead of “a” 😬
