Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
In the USA we celebrate Thanksgiving with huge feasts to honor the friendship between the Wampanoags and The Pilgrims!
American football, overeating, and the beginning of our holiday shopping season are also important parts of our holiday festivities
Most important though is to give thanks for all the many blessings we have!
I am thankful for many things this year! One of the things I am most thankful for is art and having so many wonderful art blogging buddies!
Thank you everyone!
(I posted these photos before. Seem to be appropriate every Thanksgiving!)

Happy Thanksgiving to you Michael! Love your football painting! Great action and color. Here, the game of the holiday is the U of M/Ohio State game. I'm a go blue fan. Enjoy the family and the festivities in the city steeped in American history.

Happy Thanksgiving Michael! It looks like such a wonderful celebration. I have seen many American movies and TV shows over the years depicting it. Love your football painting and the photos!
ReplyDeleteTo get into the spirit of it I am thankful for having you as a wonderful art blogging buddy!
Have a great day!!
Hello Mate! I am glad you like my little post Wendy! Also happy you got to see American movies depicting Thanksgiving. So wish the US showed us tv and movies from other countries! Especially Australia!

Take care Cobber!

Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving Michael! I am sure you had plenty of cranberries living so near 'Land of the Cranberry'. Thanks for our health too! Stay on the mend. Looking to see more of your recent work soon!
ReplyDeleteKeep painting...
Hey Buddy! A great Thanksgiving! Thank you David! Hope you did also! Spent it at my nephew's home "in town!" (Bostonians refer to being in Boston as being "in town!") Love cranberries! As a matter of fact one of my "cranberry" paintings was accepted in a local art gallery. I will post later!) The beautiful red cranberries are all ripe now and the bogs are "gobsmaking" wonderful! I think "gobsmaking" means awesome? Not sure. Our buddy Wendy, from Australia used the term once and I love it! Should check what it means before using it!! I will be posting an East Boston summer scene soon! (Hey an alliteration?) Take care David!
DeleteWill keep painting! You also!

Thank you Michael, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I really love your football painting, wonderful tackling action. I enjoy hearing about the stories that inspire your paintings. They chronicle your life so beautifully, and are very personal. Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Celia! I love you new FB photo! Movie Star alert!!!! Very nice photo! We did have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Italia? I know it is a US holiday but thought you might also partake? I am so happy you like my work Celia! It means a lot to me! Also happy you enjoy the little stories that go along with some of the paintings! The next painting I will post is of a recent painting of a favorite East Boston Summer pastime for most teenagers living near Boston Harbor!
DeleteEnjoy!
Michael
Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope your day was great and that you were surrounded by people you love. What a fun football painting! We were with my husband's family for dinner, so I had time in the morning to do some sketching of the Macy's parade and the pecan pie I made...and then just ease into the day. I am also thankful for good blogging buddies like you who make life more enjoyable.
