Still Life Levitating, Terry Nelson
Oil stick on paper.
.
I did this in 2008 - so you see how long I've been thinking about painting things levitating.
Gee, that's nice Terry, but not near as nice as the cardboard box I just hung on my wall. I named it "Box with Stickers." I'm having a brass plate made with the artists name.

Watchmen
And suddenly the truth came to me, as we stood there, trembling, searching, at our point of fulcrum. There were no watching eyes. The windows were as blank as they looked. The theatre was empty. It was not a theatre. They had told her it was a theatre, and she had believed them, and I had believed her. To bring us to this - not for themselves, but for us. I turned and looked at the windows, the facade, the pompous white pedimental figures. - John Fowles, The Magus

More 'about me'.
... My idea of what I am is falsified by my preoccupation about what I do. And my illusions about myself are bred by contagion from the illusions of other men. We all seek to emulate one anothers imagined greatness....If I do not know who I am, it is because I think I am the sort of person everyone around me wants me to be. I have asked myself whether I wanted to become what everybody else seems to want to become... only to realize that I do not admire what everyone else seems to admire. I have only thus begun to live after all... But it is very late. - Adapted from a quote by Thomas Merton

I knew you'd like that box with all the stickers! LOL!
I just reviewed that precious box sitting on my desk. I was going to add it to my art journal but have decided I really am going to hang it up.
I "heart" stickers...
Gone this afternoon but will try and catch up with you later today...
