MOVE It or LOSE It

While some may find a stroll in nature with an occasional stop to smell the roses a "moving" pastime, there is nothing like a session of "air cycling" to get the old blood flowing!

Use it or lose it….

 This theme made me think of when I try to Hula Hoop in our house. Trying to exercise in a crowded house.

Not enough room to swing a cat.

"Here Comes Summer" thanks to three artists who created paintings around the same era

I decided to try something I have always wanted to do. I found three paintings, all oil on canvas and all created around the same era. The background and figures definitely all go together!

Background: "Meadow in Bloom" ca. 1935 by Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867-1947)

*Women: "Dancing Girls on Carmel Beach" ca. 1930 by Arthur Frank Mathews (American, 1860-1945)

Girl & duck: "Feeding the Ducks" 1912 by Elmer Livingston MacRae (American, 1875-1953)

*The painting of the girls dancing on the beach is, of course, in color and is quite beautiful. But I only had an image of the painting in black & white.
