This is a cartoon playing around with Frederik Goodall (British, 1822-1904), The Finding of Moses: oil on canvas, 60 × 45 in. (152.4 × 114.25 cm). I appreciate fine art, including nudes.

This little fellow better get busy with hi … (Read More)

After years and years of serving communities, keeping the faith, and struggling through everything, the last thing I want to be is bitter, grumpy, sad, narrow-minded and hateful. I want to be happy, hopeful, gracious and loving. I don’t want to be sad so that after my life is over, people will jump to the conclusion that it was because of all my trials, my poor finances, my negative community experi … (Read More)
