RANDOM DECAMERON POST

4th day, 8th tale.

-there are some persons who think they know more than other people, and in fact know less. They oppose their opinions not only to the advice of other men but even to the nature of things; and through their presumptuousness great evils have occurred, but NEVER any good.

FRIDAY ART BLOGGING
after annish, i was confidant enough that i could do wrinkles, so, i picked an image of an indian that i wanted to do. Geronimo 1904(i think-squish on the date).after he was captured and was a fixture of the press and wild west shows, he had a penchant for the funniest hats, but as he was a medicine man and not a chief, they seem appropriate. i did another watercolor of geronimo with a different hat that i would also like to paint in oil. love his headgear.

RANDOM DENMARK POST

as i said, there were lots of glass artists in ebeltoft and they also had a glass art museum as well.when i was there, there was an exhibit by this swedish glass artist(i think it was sweden). they had taken an old factory and he had put in an installation of his work. he also had these little glass faces' for sale. i have one on my wall. well, i took some pictyres of his fish in streams of light lines. if i remember they wer moving to be more waterlike. i think my pic turned out damned good. probably 1/60 or 1/32 speed. i can do 1/15 pretty well. wait til i post my empire state building pics.



RANDOM ESTATE SALE

not that great, but the 2nd sale i have done of sisters who traveled ALOT. these gals had some good antiques, but none of my bent. did much better at the other one. the $3 bag was mostly for ebay. but it is fun to watch when they pull out the bags. everybody grabbing stuff. one or both of the sisters were chiropractors and they must have gone to a chiropractor convention in yugoslavia. i got a cool carved wood envelope opener made in yugoslavia. that is my favorite thing from there. love it!
