If you could please send me your idea of art — I went to Google and ask “What is art?” — guess what I got 1,400,000,000 matches — that is 1.4 billion matches. I hope one of you will make it 1,400,000,001.  THANKS ahead of time!!!

In the year 1900 March 26, Grandpa was the school master — think about 15-20 students attended — the actual number any given day depended on temperature, wind, rain , snow, and farm work to be done: He wrote “Snow in morning, rained and snowed during day. In evening solicited advertisements for on program of play.  Succeeded well. W.T. Hoffman here over night. Noah Ripple here”  

I assume in 1900 Grandpa “Solicited” some form of art work for the cover of the school play advertisement too? Wish I had a copy of it for you but I do not. So, I went to web to see what a typical advertisements looked like in 1900   — found this one for Coke — at least it shows the style of then:

1900 Cocacola - 5cents!
1900 Cocacola – 5cents!  looks like quality art — shows a typical person toady sitting down for some Coke — I mean a cola!  Ha ha!!!
WIKIPEDIA.com says art is: The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture,...: "the art of the Renaissance" Works produced by such skill and imagination. JONAS GERARD says it is a van.

Is this art or a real capital dog? George Rodrique selected an art theme for paintings on the wall, books, book covers, mugs, towels, even a bar and restaurant and more -- The theme a simple Blue Dog -- I am sure you have all seen a blue dog - right??? Come to think of it, I never saw a live and bouncy blue dog.

WOW - From my front window this morning -- baby loon on momma's back. God decided that this is His expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. OOPS -- I think WIKIPEDIA.COM allows only humans to create art -- Just look around you and tell me if you think WIKIPEDIA really knows what art is!
