This is a very sensuous looking speciimen.<BR/>You could not have done better, in conveying my thoughts on the paintaings. The details in the paintings are not of a military nature, but of people & emotion. The man on a bicycle stopping & wondering about his future hanging in the hands of these young men, perhaps. In the other painting, the light gives a feeling of hope even as there are wounded on board. But life goes on as the green fields attest. I love the lighting in both of these paintings. I have more of them I have to work on. I`ll post them when I get to those. <BR/>Not only do I see the paintings but I also read the mens` thoughts & the newspaper clippings of the progress in locating them in different POW camps. <BR/>My friend Dick Sawyer, was shot down Dec.31st, but his family found out he was still alive, in April.<BR/>I`ve read the original notification, to his mother, by telegram, of his being shot down over Germany. I`m very pleased you saw the paintings in the same light I did. Thank you.<BR/>I was thinking of "Kidspeak`s Flight" a few mins. ago, as it`s a full moon, & it will be in eclipse in a few hours. Hopefully I`ll be able to get some shots of it.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-14103379669460608752007-08-27T19:47:00.000-07:002007-08-27T19:47:00.000-07:00That beastie is gorgeous!

I never saw her wear it (she died when I was about 3), but the velvet rings, faded from red into my favorite magentas and purples. . .I'd be a little kid leaving nose marks on the glass, just to take in that velvety color.<BR/><BR/>The plane painting reminds me of my dad - also a WWII flyer, but in the Pacific. The light in the painting, and the detail, is wonderful. <BR/>Far surpasses the more typical "picture of military plane" that makes the context kind of irrelevant. In your picture, the setting tells much of the story, of people, not a weapon.R Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105883932340123448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-14735419611430960522007-08-27T14:21:00.000-07:002007-08-27T14:21:00.000-07:00Nancy p Yes it`s amazing what comes up at times of...Nancy p <BR/>Yes it`s amazing what comes up at times of "Remember when..."<BR/>Have a great day.

I didn`t think you had the guts to make that comment. <BR/>Thank god you did qualify it with "Prettiest".<BR/>( I`m kidding)<BR/>It is strange what people see at first glance. I had a young lady who took offense when I was showing her some of the specimens in that tank. When she came around to that side & saw this one, I think she though I was a "broujos". She looked at me as if I had insulted her & walked away from the tank. I never found out what she thought. I had the idea at the time, she must have thought I had put a fake female body part in the tank. I don`t know why that thought came up, but I`m pretty good at scoping out people. That was one of the strangest reactions though.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-83895196621952897512007-08-27T12:02:00.000-07:002007-08-27T12:02:00.000-07:00Thanks FM,Any shots from my tanks are animal, alth...Thanks FM,<BR/>Any shots from my tanks are animal, although you didn`t have any way of knowing it came from a tank.<BR/> It seems that during war, everybody who was there & who came back, did so because fate interceded, on their behalf.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-68844870178351291952007-08-27T11:42:00.000-07:002007-08-27T11:42:00.000-07:00What were those old candies that were perfectly ro...What were those old candies that were perfectly round, pastel colors, thin, crunchy, came in a roll?

FDad was in WWII, but I was too young or too just caught up in myself at the time to ask him about it before he passed away. I do remember him talking about the ship he was on in the pacific, and how a kamikaze had hit his ship and how close it was to him. He always said he was very lucky he wasn't a few feet over, and very very lucky to have come back home alive.Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.com
