You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. ~ Jack London

Awe-Manac for January 12:

Of note:  It's National Soup Month

Happy Birthday to:  John Singer Sargent, 1856, portrait and landscape painter

Today I get to:  Hustle, and then some ...


Dose of Mirth:  "A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth." ~ John Singer Sargent

I did my best to make something "wrong with the mouth," as I deviated so far from what her mouth originally looked like ... Her overall beauty simply enhanced her new, "wrong" mouth ;P

So much more to accomplish before slumber time, so I've gotta' keep this short.

  1. That is so pretty! You did a great job with it. I was going to write about being a nanny to some children in one of his paintings but couldn't muster the energy.
    We both had short entries today but at least we did it! :)
    That counts for something!
