I just have to make sure I stop when the JB starts tasting like turps. <br /><br />Welcome to the blog. <br /><br />Great to make a new friend! Stopped by your blog to see what you do and wow--look who's having all the fun! Great work! I'll definitely stay in touch.

My grandsons don't play soccer, however I've experienced the pleasure of many baseball games (I don't like baseball)with great joy because it's "them" doing the playing. Your palette speaks the language of the scene so very well. <br />I don't know if I'm rolling down the hill or if I'm safe on the blanket; but I do want to be a party to the sharing of Rhonda's thermos!<br />StevenSteven W.

This is quite a place when there's nobody around. All the best.<br /><br />Thank you Franco--I'm happy you like it. Best.<br /><br />Hi Katherine--I think those cones kind of take the Hopper/Wyeth eeriness down a bit though--at least there will be a game soon. I thought you'd get a kick out of the baby news--considering your new addition. Congratulations back at you.

Parents on bleachers and kids running around and the feeling of joy that one of the kids was YOUR kid. It does look lonely without the people inhabiting it, and yet is stronger in a Hopper or Wyeth kind of way.<br /><br />And BIG congrats on the upcoming arrival of your grandson!

I just noticed all of your orange soccer traffic cones. Reminds me that things will warm up when the trees spark red. I want to stoke this winter's fire with Fauvist fuel.

I think I may have glued a photocopy of the drawing--I may still have the original drawing. Check back, I'll try to fine it--and maybe grab a snapshot. Good point--that might be instructive. What's glaringly missing is all the children, talk about change. There's hope though, my first grandson will be born in November!William Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286221149980028093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888852565263559100.post-57231070308810535532011-09-30T11:44:57.961-04:002011-09-30T11:44:57.961-04:00This, first of all is beautiful Bill.

I would have loved to have seen what you started with nineteen years ago.<br />The comparison would have revealed how much our viewpoint towards a subject changes with time--this one with years, but sometimes even a month will make a difference in how we perceive something.
