Jackson Pollock Experiments



Here is one of my Drip Paintings, first given to the Art World by Jackson Pollock. What do you think?
I have put a pencil on one side to show the size which is 6" X 12" inches. I really like what I have done and that I have accomplished 32 plus of these paintings. I am looking forward to doing the ones with enamel or oil paint in the same size and the watercolor ones. Jackson Pollock used house paint and enamels. His canvases were attached to boards with staples and had raw edges. I am looking forward to these next 32 plus "Drip Paintings".

Cooking a Goose! and Yorkshire Pudding!


Today is a Big Cooking Day for me.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Well, here is another Christmas. This year has been wonderful in that it appears people are no longer afraid of "Political Polite Reference" to what is a very important time of the Year for all Christians and those that look for to a helping hand from Christmas Love. Over the phone nearly everyone has said Merry Christmas to me. I have heard nothing of any other term for the Holiday Season. No one has even mentioned the other Holidays or religious celebrations.
I am floored that I have not anything but "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays"!
It is wonderful to know that I can be very proud of my heritage upbringing and not be made ashamed to openly share my Joy of the this time of the year.
I have much to be thankful for: My eldest is home from Iraq. If they lost a soldier in their command I have not been told.
I know several were wounded and thankful more so than We, the extended family to welcome the "Battlefield hardened soldiers" home. It is with great sorrow to read published articles that state my Son and His men came "Under fire", small arms or heavy artillery". A very strange Read, for a parent. My youngest son is doing well - Apple is a superior company for employees. We are an iPhone family. I look forward to the day My Army son is part of the iPhone family.
My Father is of course incapacitated by a stroke. However, I am most thankful to the Lord that He did not kill anyone with His motor vehicle. It was a horrific accident. Here is the url - take a look, it is amazing what you get to see in this day and time.

Absolutely a miracle here. He has had another stroke since this awful wreck. I am told the left side of his brain is severely damaged. The only update I have is that He looks good for someone that has had two strokes.
Ms Patches, Our beloved kitty is doing well. She now has no limping from Her accident. Happen while We were out. Caused a Hefty medical bill. She is sitting at my feet telling me - You have typed enough on the computer. I have to be petted!

I am very thankful that I am in a wonderful apartment on the Cold North Atlantic. That I wake everyday to the sight and sound of the Sea! I smell the fresh Salt Sea Water year round. I am hoping to stay in this area for a long time to come.
May the Light of the World shine upon you All, May it enter into your Hearts and Share the Love of the Earth, Our Dear Home.
