Fishermen of Brittany and Normandy
At a flea market yesterday I saw this fantastic painting, about 12x10", of a close up on three men's faces; weathered, leathery fishermen's faces.
I inquired about the painting, and the woman told me the name of the artist, that his subject of choice was the fishermen of Brittany and Normandy, the Northern coast of france, and that is cost 620 euros. Since I had just bought a beautiful painting of a port scene down the street for 10 euro (down from 15) I was not really ready to make such a commitment to these three men, as good looking as they were, so to speak. I told her I would do some research about the artist. And of course, the name now escapes me. So in my effort to find him again, I have gathered a collection of paintings from the genre that I'll now share.

so much time we spent looking at certain views out certain windows. But I wonder, when I finally move from this place, will I remember this image?
hard day's work
Back bending
Feet Pressing
Into the sand
or into the grooves
worn into the deck of the boat.
Drag the catch in
pull in the ropes
the nets are tangled
by the fish inside
good day or bad it ends the same
Untangle
clean up
go home
Sleep deeply
if you can
tomorrow you'll be on your feet again
Neil Armstrong
It is always at the end of an inspiring life that we revisit the accompishments of the person who is no longer with us. The same, I hope, will go for Neil Armstrong, whose life in the service of the Air Force and then with NASA has changed history and brought generations of Americans closer to their own dreams. As he hid himself from the public eye for much of his later life, will there be a release on the rights to his story? Will we see books and movies capitalizing on this moment? Can we appreciate the benefit of reviving history for generations who are distanced from the event (July 1969)?
Here Armstrong descends to take his first step...
TDF Fashion Editorial
Crazy for the textural and layering possibilities with outerwear
this editorial gives me butterflies
weather wear where
and my sleeves are long
I can't reach out to stop the ball before it rolls into the street
There's no real tragedy here,
I motion to a car that I am about to cross
and I make it to the other side without a scratch.
Back on the lake it was less predictable.
The dangers weren't as obvious as a moving car.
__
I heard the sounds of animals and calls of birds
Myself, I was unimportant in the midst of it all.
Meaning vulnerable. You are no more important or precious
than the birds whose feathers fill your bedding
or the animals whose fur line your garments and boots.
It's funny though, as I wrap myself in man made nylon
defense against the dusting of water particles blowing like snowflakes in the wind
I am still at the lake, but it is as if I brought the moving car along inside my weekend satchel.
