Tonight 3 generations of one Muggle family will join together (as is our custom) to view the latest Harry Potter movie. After the JK Rowling special last night on TV, I for one, am more eager than ever. I, for one, can never get enough magic. Well, that is as long as good is always triumphant over evil. From Dorothy's red shoes in Oz, to Merlin, to Lord of the Rings, the power to fight off the dark arts are my favorite sagas. Include the Narnia Chronicles as well. Still, the Harry Potter series is my favorite. Maybe it is because it has become a family event. It is more than just good reading or movies. It is sharing it that perhaps multiplies the enjoyment. I have to get one of those wands tho. It could be so handy to have the dishes wash themselves!
Before there were cameras, itinerant painters would capture family milestones.
They did portraits of the farms and general stores. Our ancestors needed their
'Kodak moments' preserved for posterity too.The art form that evolved has the
ability to be either simple or complex, and be interpreted as interesting charm, or
curious abstraction. I enjoy that flexible 'artistic license".
It has allowed each painting to become a portal, a window to simpler days. Each
painting has present day elements interwoven in the composition, showing how strong
roots have passed the test of time. I believe it is important, not only to honor that
history, and learn from it, but also to celebrate it. We have arrived at a new millenium
at a pace that seems almost accelerated by rapidly changing technology. I find it
comforting to reflect on the strength of those roots while contemplating new wings
