Yesterday’s post challenged Caroline to study clouds to find images of art – Just like her Grandfather – Yes, the man who folks say is often in a cloud!!!

She really made me proud that she took the challenge and made me laugh at the same time with this photo. She txted me that she would send more soon – I am looking forward to them!

I showed it to friends – we studied it – we turned it sideways, then upside down – then back rightside up – and we all laughed together “WE SEE IT.”   Do you?

I was prompted to look up some famous quotes that I could use  just in case we did not see the art image Caroline saw:

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Henry David Thoreau (1817 – May 6, 1862) was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.  His book Walden, is a reflection upon simple life.

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” Henri Matisse (1869-1954) by the 1920s was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting.His mastery of the expressive language of colour won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was a French artist famous for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism.

 

Yesterday’s posting,  AUGUST 18, is below this line ———–

Sunsets are always scenes of beauty - My neighbor had his teen-age children and their frinds here on a weeks vacation (25 of them I think) - every evening on my un-used dock some sat - some in love I think , some artists I think, some escaping the adults I think, some all three I think - at any rate it was the call of the sunset I think.

Sunsets are always scenes of beauty – My neighbor had his teen-age children and their frinds here on a weeks vacation (at least a dozen I think) – every evening on my un-used dock some sat – some in love I think , some photographers I think, some escaping the adults I think, some all three I think – at any rate it was the call of the sunset at this dock that drew them here I think.

 

I can never look at the clouds over the Bay that I do not see a "thing" - do you see the happy Irish Troll laying on his back singing??

I can never look at the clouds over the Bay that I do not see a “thing” – On this occasion I saw the happy Irish mouse-like Troll with long ears laying on his back singing out of a book??  Do you?

 

The following photo is as I took it – Do you see any cloud images in it ? I think I do.Nature 300IMG_1658
