Somewhere I still have a cap that was given to me by a civic organization there --maybe the Lion's Club? Anyhow hope you revisit on occasion and by the way I love the effect on your profile photo.<br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-77241360272339493272009-11-23T09:08:27.303-08:002009-11-23T09:08:27.303-08:00I loved your definition, it is one of the best I h...I loved your definition, it is one of the best I have ever seen: "Art is the cumulative result of the artist's talents and life's experiences reflecting a combined vision of the reality of the world in which we live and the world dreamed and imagined."<br /><br />Ernestesbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-89251022548234222562009-11-21T17:29:55.006-08:002009-11-21T17:29:55.006-08:00I'm so proud of you Ada! all your work is bea...I'm so proud of you Ada! all your work is beautiful! you got more comments than ME!!!!

>>[ADA J...`<br />rLEE-b ~<br />Good Blog Bit, Brother.<br /><br />>>[ADA JACKSON: "If I never reach the level of a Vincent Van Gogh then that's fine with me."]<<<br /><br />Of course, Van Gogh was considered a miserable failure during his own lifetime. It wasn't until quite some time after his death that he became recognized as a true master. If I recall correctly (do I?), Vincent sold only one painting while he was alive, and that was because his brother cajoled a potential customer.<br /><br />In my late teens and early twenties, Van Gogh was a major hero of mine. I shared his intensity and, at that time, desire to create art. Later, I moved away from the idea of becoming an artist, while channeling all that intensity into theatre. <br /><br />My interests shifted again, and this time in the direction of writing... until Mark Twain convinced me that sawing wood is what I was created to do.<br /><br />At that point, I gave up hope and felt much better. (Thank you, Sam Clemens!)<br /><br />Well, good luck to Ada! I hope she ain't carrying around that Van Gogh intensity inside her also - that stuff's hard to deal with.<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" Stephen<br /><br />POSTSCRIPT: In my next life, I'm going to be a musician.
