Recently I had some minor ear surgery. I am fine. I thought it would be fun to post a photo of me and my buddy Vincent both sporting our bandages!

| Vincent! |

| Me! Now I am going to have to do a self portrait? (Go Bruins!) |
 |
I posted this work some time ago. Posted it today because it reminds me of my buddy Vincent's works! It started off as a serene hot air balloon scene with the balloons floating over a very calm green pasture. I guess that was too boring for me. Acrylic Canvas 40" x 48" |
Your love of Vincent and 'Starry Night' and your present likeness to the great man no doubt reminded you of this painting, which also reveals your love of the sea. Glad your surgery went well and a self portrait would be fun.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!
DeleteYou are so very right on!
I absolutely love Vincent and the ocean!
Thank you Linda!
(Self portrait starts today!)

Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteJe vous souhaite un prompt rétablissement ! Toutefois, l'idée est géniale d'associer le résultat unique de deux événements distincts !!... Donc logique, j'attends avec impatience un autoportrait de vous ! Alors vite, aux pinceaux !
(Je vous trouve tout de même presque un petit air de famille avec Vincent ! pas uniquement à cause du pansement...)
On retrouve dans votre dernière peinture des courbes et des mouvements à la Van Gogh... Belle oeuvre.
Gros bisous à vous.
Merci beaucoup Martine!
DeleteI was laughing out loud while the photo was taken. I am so happy I posted Vincent and me!
I love hearing from you! I love movement and curves in my work!
Hugs to you my friend!
Thank you!
Michael
You have put a smile on my face, Michael! I knew that you and Vincent shared a connection and now I am proven correct! I hope you do a self portrait in the spirit of Vincent - what fun that will be! I hope your recovery goes well - your smile shows me you are well on your way!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Susan!
DeleteI am smiling while thinking of you smiling. How so very cool is that! I am happy this post made you smile! Smiling is so good! I am on the road to recovery and very motivated to paint a self portrait in honor of Vince!
Thank you for visiting so often Susan and always writing great comment!
Your art friend!
Michael
Michael,you and Vincent share a bond now and a self portrait will be a great tribute. I love your painting in honor of Vincent, the balloons are magnificent! Hope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteCiao Celia!
DeleteGrazie per la scrittura delle tali osservazioni gentili. Avete fato il mio giorno!
I am glad you like my balloons. Thank you for your well wishes my friend!
The self portrait will start immediately!
Abbracci!
Ciao!
Michael
love your balloon fantasy painting Michael, much more interesting that what it was 'meant' to be! The difference between you and Vincent, is your happiness eminates from your picture, while Vincent's anxiety eminates from his self portrait. go Bruins!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally!
DeleteI am so happy you like my balloons. It certainly is a fantasy painting! I agree and thank you for saying that it is more interesting than plan A. It is so much fun and so good to be happy. I am pleased I thought of doing this!
"Go Bruins!" that is so nice of you Sally! Coming from a wonderful Canadian that is great support! What hockey team do you usually follow?
I love when they sing the Canadian National Anthem and the US National Anthem at the games! Many of our younger hockey fans refer to those wonderful anthems as the "Hockey Songs!"

I'm a Leaf's fan...but not over the top about it. heh
Deletehahaha--Funny guy! Hope your ear heals up A-ok. Love the balloon painting. It definitely has a VanGogh vibe going on.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie!
DeleteI am so happy you got to laugh! Laughing certainly is so much fun! The ear is on the mend. I am glad you like my work. When I paint I don't mean for it to be "Van Goghish!" It just happens!
Thank you Stephanie!
Michael
Love your post Michael! Glad to hear you are fine - nice to see your big smile. Would very much love to see your self-portrait a-la-Vincent. Fantastic balloon painting - you were definitely channeling Vincent with that one!! It is so wild and lively and colourful! I hope your ear is totally healed very soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy painting!

Hello My Australian Art Amigo!
DeleteI am on the mend. A bit more work to do and I will be A-Okay! That smile couldn't be stopped!
When I got the idea to do the post I started smiling and laughing and couldn't stop. Even now I am getting a kick out of it! So very good to laugh once in a while! I am glad you like my balloon painting. That is the type of work I enjoy the most. Just letting myself go! "Wild and colorful!" Thank you Wendy! Can't ask for much more than that! Thanks for visiting and being such a good art friend. Or as we say in the USA "art cobber!"
I hope you painted today! Or will paint today!
Michael
you make me laugh out loud! (please don't start eating your bad paintings....)
ReplyDeletePlenty of fiber in those paintings!
DeleteHi Kim!
Thanks for stopping by. I am so happy my little post had you laughing! How much fun is that!
As soon as I see your name and especially your photo I smile! Great pose!
Take care and good luck with your wonderful and so very important art project!
Michael
What a wonderful post..perfect one to start my day off with!!!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to that self-portrait, Michael, and LOVE the balloon painting!!! Hope you feel better!!!!
Good morning Hilda!
DeleteAs always so very, very good to hear from you! I am glad my post helped you start your day off well!
That self portrait has to happen! Theo expects more work soon!
Thank you for your very enthusiastic comments Hilda! I am glad you love the balloon painting. Your kind words helped make my day!
Take care and paint on and on and on!
Michael
LOL! Very funny, Michael! I bet Vincent had a sense of humor himself (though he is thought of as so serious and dark!--I can't believe he didn't have a very lighthearted side, just by looking at his wonderful sunny paintings!). Hoping your ear is recovered fast --Love the painting..it has motion (yes, like Vincent!)
ReplyDeleteHi Celeste!
ReplyDeleteIt is good we can laugh!
I hope Vincent had some fun in his life! I am sure he did!
I am glad you like the painting. A teeny bit like our buddy, Vincent!
Michael
Looks like you and Vincent are birds of a feather! Hope your ear recovers quickly. Nice movement in the painting!!!
ReplyDeleteMy buddy Vincent! Thanks for your very kind words Joan! Ear on the mend. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFun is good!
Michael
separated at birth :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! He is one of my favorites!
DeleteImagine if he were around today! Wow! What work would he do?!
Have a great weekend!
Michael
