Paint Party Friday Post

this is an acrylic painting I did for a friend

He is an author, nature lover, and art lover

I made it , inspired by a poem my friend wrote long ago

" Two children dangling their feet in a stream

One runs off to follow a floating leaf 

A friendship ends "

...there is much more to this poem,

 this is the line Danny gave me to work with.

He signed my books " from your biggest fan"

and I am (as you can tell)

his biggest fan.

He has purchased a few of

 my nature paintings in the past.

his witty poetry is included in his book :

"Keys to The Condo"

a View of Life

by an Almost Old Man

other books by Danny are witty ,funny, exciting

novels that are real page turners

"Flybaits Lament"

you can check out at Amazon.com or Publish America

or directly from Danny through me ($20.00)

His second Novel is a family story

and a unique and very interesting story

"Wilt's Hollow "

 $12.95

Amazon or Dog Ear Publishing

 or through Danny and I for $20.00


which includes the shipping

dlangone2000@yahoo.com

 I will make sure it gets to you in a faster manner than

going through the publisher

 which takes awhile sometimes

Happy PPF  my friends

ask a poet for help

When in need always ask your friend and very smart person (Danny D Langone) for a poem or two. I am painting a couple pictures for The Loveland Historical Society art show ...the catch is the paintings,( or actually any type of art work) submitted has to be inspired from these old (1900's) photos of Loveland taken by Nancy Ford Cones (1869-1962) She lived in Loveland in 1905 and took lots of her famous photographs around here. anyway...Long story short (which I'm not good at) Along with the art work for each piece entered, a @75 word "statement" has to accompany each... expounding on the artists thoughts and inspirations and or what ever we want to say about it. I had the immediate thought to write some poetry along with a short description of the particular process I used. I want to speak in a poetic way about these landscapes. A Poet, I am not! as Yoda would say. The Historical Society art show is titled "Images of the Past - Visions of Today" Danny was so nice about sending a few of his wonderful poems after looking over my paintings (still unfinished, but mostly done) The hard part is choosing between a few choices he gave me. He is so nice and so talented. So now I feel much better and I can finally finish the paintings (I go constantly back and forth between working on them) keeping the same paint colors on both and the same style. I want to keep them together as a set. Next big decision is framing.
