Beautiful watercolours on Valentine's Day

View_From_Here discovered a Serbian artist called Endre Penovác and sent me some pictures. Being greedy, I had to google a few more delightful pictures to add to the post. Thank you, View_From_Here.








The artist's website is worth a visit

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

The perfect man

CC sent us a joke! It's hilarious, thank you, CC.


A man walks out to the street and hails a taxi just going by.

He gets into the taxi, the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman... he's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone, and danced like a Broadway star. And you should have heard him play the piano! He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was somebody really special."

Cabbie: "Oh hell there's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order, and which fork to eat it with. And he could fix anything. Not like me, I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right."

Passenger: "Wow, some guy then."

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made mistakes, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never argue back, even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! I never knew him to make a mistake! No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well. I never actually met Frank. He died, and I married his f+%$#*g widow!

Black & White fashion

When I did the post about 1950's fashion, I came across many pictures by the eccentric British photographer Norman Parkinson. I had too many photos for that one, so I saved these for a new post.

[Fashion posts make me think of CC and Amy...]

The man himself:


Curiosity: the model in the middle of the black and of the white pictures is Parkinson's third wife, Wenda Rodgerson. Here she is again, in a very lovely photo:

I could spend a long time here...

This bathroom is very beautiful and there's so much to do! I could see a line forming at the door while I studied the pictures on the wall or read some of the books!
