The new Lone Ranger, Armie Hammer...

I remember now that Max’s father was a boxer. I guess I could always consult wickenpedia, but somehow that site gives me the creeps. Sort of like asking Al Gore the forecast.

Forgive me for not studying the downsizing of photos better. Here is my entry into a local art contest in conjunction with the Coors Blue Moon Art Project. I did not win, but the picture is for sale (Keith told me to say that. HA!!!)

[Vision]

hehehe. That's pretty good Gina. You're a big beer drinker?

Gina, you just ad width = 600 to resize the image.

[steelyourfaith]

Internet Movie Data Base does a pretty good job of listing the relatives of performing artists who are also performing artists.

[WXRGina]

I have to get my width right!

We do drink beer, but not Blue Moon. We drink the cheap stuff—Natural Light, which is generic Bud Light from the same company, Andhowsyer Bush (ha).

The contest was part of a local art festival, and there were numerous entries. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is an “artsy-fartsy” place, and my degree is in fine art, so I try to pay attention—some times.

[steelyourfaith]

Hey that’s really way cool. How do you find time to work the oils, WXRGina? (At least it appears to be an oil painting to me.)

[Vision]

Mysterious Traveler time...

[Viking2002]

Yes, in fact, we did, picnic/buffet style. It was like one of these Occupy encampments at times: someone would show up out of the blue, and I had no idea who they were. But, it's Thanksgiving - as long as the food holds out, have a seat. Even family pets are allowed to romp and mooch at their leisure. Makes for a nice atmosphere. With the weather being on such a roller coaster this fall, it may come down to a 72 hour window whether or not we do it again. Regardless, I'll still put a small turkey in the oven for our personal celebration/consumption that evening.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[WXRGina]

Thank you, SteelYourFaith. This one is not oil, but acrylic (that I water down to make it more like watercolor) on cold press illustration board, 24” x 36.”

Interesting. The top rated comment on that YouTube video is "Sexiest voice ever." Yet his speaking voice doesn't seem to be in the classic Lone Ranger vocal timbre of Earle Graser, Brace Beemer, and Clayton Moore. Perhaps he can project more so on film.

IMDB states, ... "(h)e is the great-grandson of industrialist, art collector, and philanthropist Armand Hammer," whom I seem to recall was very in with the Soviets back in the cold war era.

Where is that painting from?

[Vision]

What painting? The Blue Moon one?

[drew]

The dad and son listening to the radio painting. Is it a Rockwell?

[WXRGina]

It is a Rockwell. Vision can tell you when it was from when he sees your question.

[Vision]

I believe so.

[Vision]

This is one boring Lux. Hope it gets better.

[WXRGina]

I’m ready to see the young admirer revealed to the good girl.

[WXRGina]

Vision, I told Keith what I wrote to you about this Lux story, and he said, “This is a chick story.”

He’s right, of course. :-)

[Vision]

Yep. It's a struggle to deal with.

I'm heading to the radio. Night Gina, all. This is the 100th post- a BB record.
