Kate Iverson (illustration thumbnail) - My wife Pam and I painted portraits of Kate a couple weeks back and posted them to Facebook and our web sites since. It's always fun to add to our gallery of mugs. I put up our double portrait Pam's portrait of Kate is to the left of mine the bigger painting. This is a bit of an experiment to see if I can get these jpgs to both appear. I was more technical years ago when Max and Sam were children (my sons ) now I feel the technology has eclipsed my abilities to deal with some of it. Cell phones would have been nice years ago when I was more on the phone my Artpolice work with Andy yack yack theory and praxis. Now I seem more content I guess I know the world is beyond me changing it indeed even if my artwork was more successful I think it wouldn't be as sweet as when I was younger oh who knows? It is this curious place when you are older where you want to like what your doing more because it's a destiny of sorts. Painting is fun and it's as deep as you choose to make it. Emerson wrote that thinking was the main activity of man. And painting is a special form of thinking, it's visual but it can also appeal to the mind. Pam and I joke about Thinky Art by which we mean using your brain your wits to make art not just emotional content but ideas as well. OK now I'm goig to see what comes out chocolate of chocolate and vanilla. 10/4
