Mid-Morning Art Thread
[James Tissot: Young Lady In A Boat]
CBD gave me grief because I continued his Mid-Morning Art Thread franchise on a Saturday. To be honest, I've been on a news boycott and there are no pressing issues to hash out as far as I am concerned. So here is a second art piece. It's by your's truly. It is 24"x30". This is a size outside my comfort zone. Which is normally 11"x14" or 12"x12". The piece is based upon a photo from FreePik. Maybe someone will purchase it when I'm dead and gone and the estate will be able to pay off CBD's outrageous royalties. And a Mystery Click to boot.

Love your painting. The dark evergreen trees against the snow and reflected light on the water isn't jarring, it's peaceful. I like the way you caught the feel of a winter thaw as the snow retreats from the water line and the colors in the calm water before snow melt makes the creek run faster. And the scene feels quiet, the only sound I can imagine would be a few soft bird calls.

I have a HS friend who also is a successful artist though he taught also to supplement his income. His main income from his art came from selling his work and copies of it to luxury hotels to decorate there rooms/ common areas.
His art is reminiscent of the old spirograph you had as a kid except very colorful.

NEW: Deceased man who was k*lled in a road rage incident, makes an impact statement in the courtroom with help from AI.
Bizarre.
Christopher Pelkey, then 37, lost his life after being shot during a 2021 road rage incident in Chandler, Arizona.
Stacey Wales, the sister of Pelkey, created an AI-generated video of her brother who "expressed forgiveness," something "she wasn’t ready to do herself." (CNN)
"The only thing that kept entering my head that I kept hearing was Chris and what he would say," Wales said to CNN.
"I had to very carefully detach myself in order to write this on behalf of Chris because what he was saying is not necessarily what I believe, but I know it’s what he would think."
Gabriel Paul Horcasitas was sentenced to over 10 years for mansl*ughter.
"I love that AI. Thank you for that. As angry as you are and justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness," Judge Todd Lang said.

There's nothing they can say that we haven't heard for 250 years now. It was one thing when Europe was vital and growing. It's risible now that they're a broken-down wreck of a continent. Bankrupt aristocrats sneering at a prosperous tradesman.

My understanding is that he wants the Christian community to perform more outreach. Here's a summary, at Forbes:
Leo XIV criticized the prioritization of “technology, money, success, power, or pleasure” over faith and said there are settings where “missionary outreach is desperately needed” to reach “ordinary people,” echoing his decades of work as a missionary abroad.

a tenet of Catholic teaching is that we are always in a process of conversion until it's time we are called home
even the most saintly among us have rough edges that need to be sanded
I only became aware of this concept about 7 years ago, well into my reversion timeline . It was like I suddenly woke up and realized, my belief in being a "good Christian" notwithstanding, I have a tendency to sin... a lot.

9. Goodness always tends to spread. Every authentic experience of truth and goodness seeks by its very nature to grow within us, and any person who has experienced a profound liberation becomes more sensitive to the needs of others. As it expands, goodness takes root and develops. If we wish to lead a dignified and fulfilling life, we have to reach out to others and seek their good. In this regard, several sayings of Saint Paul will not surprise us: “The love of Christ urges us on” (2 Cor 5:14); “Woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel” (1 Cor 9:16).

Oh, so he's talking about sanctification. Yes, we Christians always need to be growing in grace and truth.

... I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour.

Okay . Baptists have a similar tradition of public reaffirmation.
At the end of the service , when the preacher asks for those who wish to be saved walk to the front, it also includes those that would like to recommit to the Holy Spirit.

Our second grandchild is in middle school and has natural artistic ability so I have been encouraging him for years to be a regular sketcher, but basketball and screen time gets in the way. I've ramped up the encouragement and recently got him a kit of gear including a skull and mannequin.
I'm doing a head sketch each day in pencil and am getting so I can get a reasonable likeness. I am using photos of the grandkids. I watch a lot of videos and am amazed at the sessions I see, maybe 2 hours, of an artist doing a photorealistic portrait in oils. Absolutely amazing.
I love listening to them as they describe the techniques of seeing, breaking down the subject into a connected group of values, the artist's term for shade, and then getting into the really fine details at the end.

Maybe you could interest your grandson in drawing comics. Something like Ethan van Sciver does.
