Ear Today, Gone Tomorrow, DSFDF and FAT

The topic for this month's challenge from Michelle Burnett's Following the Masters was to paint in the style of Van Gogh. So I redid one of his self-portraits and named it "Ear Today...Gone Tomorrow. This is it below.

.
Karin Jurick's challenge for Different Strokes From Different Folks was an overhead shot of three people scurrying through an airport. I always like to put a little humorous twist in my submissions, but this one was a booger to come up with anything. It had me beating my head against the wall. Wall? Hmmmm, Wall....that's it!!..WALDO.!!!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I have a tendency to overeat. I'm already quite a few pounds overweight...so this Thanksgiving I posted these 2 photos on my refrigerator door....
.
The hefty gentleman at the top is shopping at Wal-Mart. The photo is from a new blog feature I've started....Windows of Wonders WOW. I'll be plugging this more in future blogs, but WOW is strictly for fun and amazement. I have a collection of 1000's of humorous, fascinating and unbelievable stuff. There's a bunch of folks who send me off-the-wall stuff and I love to pass it along. Ed Burton is one who sends me absolutely hilarious stuff. I'll be adding more and more to WOW, so you're sure to find something to suit ya. Check it out by clicking HERE

And....less than 2 weeks remain for the "
Giving Thanks" challenge for Windows to the Words.

Hm-m-m-m,,,,I had this one sent in to me, and I felt, at first, that it was just too tasteless to publish. But, what the heck, I never was known for my good taste. However, I never will eat pumpkin pie in the right frame of mind again.

Cya down the road.

  5. Oh my gosh, James! You had me giggling right off the getgo this morning with your title for VanGogh's portrait! And by the way, I thought you did a quite masterful job on that piece too. So glad you posted it here as I've been dying to comment on it. I hate to say it, but I find the "tasteless" pumpkin photo quite amusing myself. As to the other two...hmmm...maybe I should post those somewhere around here myself!!
