THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD!

36x12" oil on canvas

SOLD


A contrarian. The dictionary defines this person as someone who takes an opposing view, especially one who rejects the majority opinion. I am, in point of fact, married to a contrarian, which makes life, as one might imagine, quite interesting. It works out really well actually. I'm your basic cosmic muffin, he's completely grounded. He keeps me from floating off into space and I've loosened his stranglehold on reality. Am I repeating myself? Anyway, once I got past the need to be right all the time, I found our discussions quite illuminating and I've come to the conclusion that if there isn't one in every crowd, there should be.

  4. I disagree.... Just kidding, although I can relate entirely.

    Once again you have provided us with a tasty treat. I don't know how you do it, but you make bugs look DELICIOUS.

  5. Hi there Suzanne!... Love this one... and it seems that "We" are sharing the same "band width" in the Universe!

    The Lady Bug is Deb's alter ego... and I gift "Her" often with small surprises I discover along my path which are Lady Bug-driven! I had a special shelf built for "Her" to display her... dare I use the word...collection"??? HAHA!!!

    Your usually witty inclusion of humour fits well too! "She" indeed is "one in the crowd"... and really does ground "Me"!

    Thank "You" for sharing!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

  9. Love it, once again you crack me up—cosmic muffin. Congrats on the sell.
    If you ever run out of bugs, I have some cicadas I can send you. :) You will need earplugs to paint them.

  15. Okay this is up there in my top favorites of yours. That shiny red is amazing and I love, love, love the story that goes along. I too am married to a bit of a contrarian. Makes for some great debates:) It's a perfect balance, and I agree there should be "one in every crowd".
