Cute Stuffings at Seven Months

Parker Out- Cutes Himself, photo by Norm Hadad

Dear Imaginary Reader,
Here Parker seems to be showing off just how cute he is. I believe he is posing for Better Babies and Gardens, or International Baby Magazine. Not sure. Or Maybe Newsbaby, Harper's Baby, Conde Nast Travel and Baby, Saturday Evening Baby, Baby's Home Journal, the list goes on...

Hit the Road, Jack!

The Author Strolls Baby Parker

My Other Stroller is a Bentley

Old School Stroller, cost me $30 at Target
Dear Imaginary Friends,
It seems that everything is getting so much more complex and expensive these days. Back when I was knee high to a duck, a stroller was a laundry basket on a skateboard! Well, OK, that might be a slight exaggeration, but strollers were $10 at KMart back then. Now they are $800 and can do so much more.
Like, stroll?
Hmm.

Oh, Lord! She's Nude

Nude, Oil

Dear Imaginary Censors,

What is the difference between nudes and naked people? This is definitely a relevant question for classical art. It is hard to define, but you know when you see it, right?
Well, this painting is how I spent my Friday afternoon this past week. And she is definitely nude, but not naked.

The Soup Tureen

The Soup Tureen
Dear Imaginary Art Lovers,
This painting was finally finished in March 2011, after gnashing my teeth for 5 months, trying to achieve a better quality of composition. I had even considered cropping it with scissors. Such was my angst.
In the end, I fixed the composition by adding branches and more leaves. Phew! Now I love it, am at peace and ready to have this baby adopted. It is currently on display for sale at A Show of Hands on Mt. Vernon Avenue, in Alexandria.
