48 Top 100. Unusual for me.
CBD, Thanks for starting the year with an Andrew Wyeth.

The expressiveness of this painting is wonderful: the remains of the growing season now reduced to dried stalks and grass, the winds of the colder months, the autumn overcast days as the warmth of summer is past, the blurred lines noting the changing seasons. And the small areas of warm brown as a reminder of what had been. I can't think of any other artist who could make this image so effective.

75 I like Andrew Wyeth but what I like to point out is the juxtaposition between him and Van Gogh.

They have a diametrically opposite life in both the personal and professional aspects.

Professionally trained / basically self taught
Started painting as a child / started at age 27
Used egg tempera/ used oil
Muted palette / bright colorful palette
7000 paintings / 800 paintings
Made good living selling paintings / sold 1 painting
Long term marriage / never married or long term
Died of old age at 91/ committed suicide at 37

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

It occurred to me last night, watching "A Stop in Willoughby" on the Twilight Zone: This story aired in the spring of 1960, and concerns a man dreaming of a mythical stop on his train commute that appears to be from close to the turn of the 20th Century. Let's say, 1896. So the 1960 script by Rod Serling was concerned with a time 64 years in the past.

The episode itself is now 64 years in *our* past.
