The Striped Blouse, Edouard Vuillard
"Who speaks of art speaks of poetry. There is no art without a poetic aim. There is a species of emotion particular to painting. There is an effect that results from a certain arrangement of colors, of lights, of shadows, etc. It is this that one calls the music of painting."--Vuillard, Jan. 1894
What a coincidence! I'm just reading a book about Vuillard... and expecting to see YOUR paintings on your blog... here's one that "sure looks like that Vuillard guy!!"

If all of us (of all political stripes) can stay calmer a little longer and more deeply thoughtful even when confronted by opposition, we will be better off. How wonderful, imho, to have a president who is also a role model.
Of course it would be nice to eliminate the deficit, get health care up and running, and stop spending blood and money on war, too.
