Van Gogh's Fighter Plane

A L O H A !


We're the first ones at the pool!




" For what human ill 
does not dawn
seem to be
an alleviation?  "

Thornton Wilder








 Sky is perfect - What is that dark spot?


" Sadness flies 
on the wings of the morning . . .
comes the light.  "

Jean Giraudoux







 Van Gogh
 ' Fighter Aircraft '
AKA: The 'dark spot' from the photo above this one.


" I think an artist has always
to be out of step with his time. "


Orson Welles

 A Powerful Tool For You


1. Inhale a full breath comfortably.

2. Inhale just a little bit more.

3. Hold breath for a beat.

4. Blow it all out through an imaginary straw.

5. Your parasympathetic nervous system has been re-set.

You are ready for a fresh start.

You're Welcome!

Indeed it looks like a fighter plane. But what would he really intend with it?

Greetings,

The 'Van Gogh' is a joke. It is a close up of the middle photo :-)


Thanks for visiting today!

Thanks for the reminder to take a deep breath every so often!

It would be a very strange painting by Van Gogh indeed. The Orson Wells quote is spot on :-).

Thank you Cloudia... I needed a daily Hawaiian vacation today. Not doing was not doing so hot earlier today but now that I have seen your lovely pictures and interesting quotes, I have stopped clenching my teeth, and have taken a deep breath, I do feel better!

Isn't it amazing what we can do with computers these days, amazing that you could crop that tiny piece of your photo so we could actually see what the black dot was, AND turn it into an artwork at the same time haha! Brilliant Cloudia! Enjoy your Sunday.

Ah patooey, back on the mainland from my visit to the Islands, but I've been breathing very nicely, thank you, with your guidance and blog, and the scenery of Comfort Isles. The pilot would love your enlarged Van Gogh version of his flight. Aloha, DrumMajor

I have been to a Van Gogh art exhibition in Vienna few years ago. It was AWESOME! haha, each time I get upset, my Quay Lo always ask me to take a deep breath and it does calm me down and makes me feel better.
