Addicted to Art

Rarely, do my addictions make me laugh. But, this painting below by Philip Guston did just that.

I’m not a smoker nor a painter but I do like my treat tray and making my own art and looking at others’ art all the live long day. Sometimes, it really does feel like I am strapped to the mast of a ship in a gale, or in a straight jacket or, as in the case of Guston’s painting, just the total hilariously (and frightening) passive lay-me-down and pull-the-covers-up tyranny of these things.

On other days, tho, it feels just fine.  And, encaustic cupcakes taste terrible so that’s a plus.
