Saturday Is For Art


There is a lot going on now. Besides Major League Baseball, we have the NFL games and college football. However, this past week one thing caught my eye that was not a ball, and that was this stuff about The White House and FOX News. FOX News is not news, and it is just that simple. FOX News is a caricature of what TV news is suppose to be. But, even a caricature must be permitted to cover The White House. I don't even watch FOX News as I know where they are coming from and I understand what they are attempting to do. The people at FOX News work for a conservative man that owns FOX News by the name of Ruppert Murdock. Murdock knows how to make a lot of money, but not much else. The White House must realize that their tagging of FOX News as an undesirable to cover The White House has only elevated FOX News into a real news story. This is the closest FOX News has come to a legitimate news story in their entire existence, and they have The White House to thank for it. You know, being bright takes many forms, and more people should realize this, especially those advising the President.

I am putting up the sunflower print again in the hope that I may get some orders for a signed print. Prints are $50, and that includes the mailing tube and postage anywhere in the USA. The print is in full color on a quality Epson paper. The paper size is 14" x 11", and the actual print size is 13" x 10.5". You don't have to be in the art market to buy this print, but a signed print may be worth more than $50 some day. Think of it as buying a discount note that at some future date will be worth par. Your return will be the difference between the amount that you paid and the amount that you receive when you sell the print. The appreciation in value is your return on your investment. If you frame your investment to enjoy it and protect it, you will have gotten the pleasure of looking at your investment while it appreciates in value. Now that is as close as you can come to having your cake and eating too.

Stay tuned.

About FOX News and the Whitehouse: The wolf you feed is the wolf that will devour you.

This is nothing more than a hissing contest between small minds. Matters of State go begging while these mental paupers feed on each other's muck.

Thankfully, more wholesome conversations abound -- like Sunflowers Talking About Van Gogh. Yes, Moneythoughts, those who purchase a print of your art will be doubly-blessed: first, in the viewing and second, in the appreciation - both aesthetic and monetary.

Art is for Saturday and make more sunflowers.
