Murph, I've had the same feeling about model railroading over the decades. Gave it up or put it aside many times. Always come back. I just love trains.

Wife wants to start painting and if her faux finishes in our homes is any indication of her talent, she will be good.

We both would like to do some real stained glass work. We also both enjoy woodworking, so maybe some latent talents will emerge.

Impressionism's "Starry Night"; plus Expressionist Munch's "The Scream," blended together for a troubling statement, of sorts. .
Yet, fun, in a lurking Halloween sort of way. Playful. Worthy of a gallery in Freedonia.

Also blended into the image is Kaonashi from the Hayao Miyazaki movie, "Spirited Away" who is not screaming,

There are many ways to "scream".

While true, I'm pretty sure that Kaonashi never makes a sound in the movie. Perhaps there is some irony and link to Munch's Scream,

And, while perhaps not for everyone, I do recommend both Miyazaki movies, "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle"

I interpret that group in this latest work using that sky to represent all of us, all who ever were, and all who are.

Didn't see that at all. My interpretant was different. I guess art does that for us - allows us - to interpret it in our own way.

BTW, slightly related, I remember an art history professor of mine saying to the class, upon hearing a student say, "What is it?" that the most ignorant thing a person can say to the artist is "What is it?" especially if the artwork is not part of the Realism genre.

So, there ya are. My interpretation. What ya gonna do with independent thinkers like me, huh. The figures represent all of us, one way or another.

Celebrate - we need so many more to counter the growing herd of sheeple.
