Zinnia oil/canvas 24 x 8 |
I greatly admire the work of Oscar Wilde. If I could choose a dinner guest, he certainly would be at the top. What a wit!
His brain seems to go to quirky and ultra observant places. His leanings were toward art for art's sake...each work being unto its self. I guess that is where my leanings are as well.

Desire to play...to put something into the given space=
Art for art's sake.
A zinnia memorialized.
Fun quote from Oscar Wilde via the J. Peterman catalogue:
Rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies far from the center of the city.
