Happy Birthday Henry

 Henry Matisse

1869-1954

Henry would be celebrating his 152nd birthday today.

I love his collages.

Wayne Thiebaud- artist

 Wayne Thiebaud

1920-2021

Yes, artist Wayne Thiebaud lived to be 101 years old. Was it his creativity that kept him going?

Wayne began his artistic career as a Disney animator, sign painter, & commercial artist. Is this how he accumulated his 10,000 hours?

But his paintings displayed thick paint & texture showing us the things we love to eat in an innovative way.

  Boston Cream Pie

According to my Betty Crocker Cookbook Boston Cream Pie is actually 2 layers of cake with a filling and whipped cream topping. But this painting can remind us of pies we've had and loved. 

Alex Sez, Merry Christmas

My Christmas trees have shrunk over the years, but they have remained a way to display creativity. Here is my little tree with hand painted watercolor ornaments. It makes an artistic statement.

 

Painted Windows

 I love seeing painted shop windows; they are so old fashioned. And has Santa been on Keto?
