damals .. when i was still new to the neighbourhood this guy scared the hell out of me one night when i was introvertly crossing the bridge he is sitting down at .. of course he was still hairy then and his dog was barking
good to know the Dutchies are not the only ones that fucked up their beach cities .. well actually .. its not good to know .. its monetary reality
i had a reproduction of Picasso's Les Baigneuses on my wall for about 20 years and never realized it was painted in Biarritz, France .. i got a shiver when i entered the beach saw the lighthouse and realized this was it.
i strawled the beach to try to find the position where the artist stood to paint the picture and then found out there was not one position he took .. just like the bathing girls the whole picture is a mix of views from different positions and angles
Picasso oversized the lighthouse .. he added windows to this side of the tower .. he brought the beach closer to the lighthouse rock .. he filled the sea with rocks that are not there .. and there must be his genius .. he did not paint reality but composed it
you see these cow sculptures around here .. what amazes me is how real the veins and muscles are represented on the skin
A friend gave me this old mandolin that has been in use as wall decoration for decades in his mothers house. His mom had to move to a new home and before trashing the instrument my friend thought maybe he could make me happy with it. And yes he can!
I have never played mandolin but have been eager to try one for a while .. so here's a little test drive . The strings are old and rusty, one of them is missing, there's a crack in the back and my .. are the mandoline keys small for my big fingers. But what a bright powerfull sound it makes .. and what fun and honour to pick it from such an old instrument.
she was nodding off and after a while i got impressed by her purple uggs .. i took her picture and she woke up from the cameraflash .. she was pretty cool about that and said purple was her favorite color .. over bluetooth we exchanged the picture .. "it looks like an advertisement" she said
