David Sedaris


 Thank you Ron for your themes….much appreciated.

I like listening to David Sedaris on the radio..but I also enjoy reading his books….which I hear in my head as David reading it to me…

He does have an unusual and daring dress sense too which I admire…although it does look like he is wearing his pyjama bottoms with a suit jacket here…(as he gets older people might start thinking he hasn’t realised…)

Very funny man.

Derek Boshier (1937-2024)

David Hockney said of Boshier that he has always kept his sense of wonder.

Derek Boshier appears about 3.30 in this clip from Pop Goes The Easel.

HOMAGE to poet Julie O'Callaghan (b. 1954) "White Sound"


 What a coincidence! This is our holiday card this year. And this is the poem that inspired it!

When rain

whispers

it is snow.

Theme: Artist or Author homage.

I don’t think we’ve done one of these for a while.

One of your favourite artists or authors image and/or works in collage form.

Signing off from theme captaincy for now as November comes to an end.

Thanks for all the fine collages over the last couple of months ….Ron

UPSIDE DOWN featuring TheTopsy Turvy Twins

Inspiration taken from a deck of reproduction antique playing cards which featured a flower bedecked Queen of Hearts!

Luckily, I had TWO copies of a book that pictured this lovely miss and TWO copies of "Garden Flowers in Color" that had these beautiful examples of 'Cosmos'.
