Please send good thoughts to Ray and his family.

Ray Ferrer - Emotion on Canvas

Hi Friends and Fans of Ray! This is his wife, Rhian Ferrer….
Tuesday morning I found Ray in bed having a seizure (he has never had one before) I brought him to the hospital and he is stable but has a massive tumor in/on his brain. He has been in ICU since Tuesday evening. I am hoping to bring him home soon.

For those of you that are awaiting paintings, they will get out. Ray will make sure everything is taken care of once he is back on his feet and home. Let’s hope that is soon.

If you would like to order anything from his Etsy shop that would be a huge help to us right now to offset some expenses. You can use Coupon Code ART50 during check out to save 50%.

AC/DC-It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll)

Jan23

Vintage AC/DC! The way it should be with Bon Scott. Brian Johnson has nothing on him. Many good memories listening to these blokes back in the early 80’s. I saw them in concert once and my ears rang for a week!

“It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll)”

Ridin’ down the highway
Goin’ to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin’ rock ‘n’ roll
Gettin’ robbed
Gettin’ stoned
Gettin’ beat up
Broken boned
Gettin’ had
Gettin’ took
I tell you folks
It’s harder than it looks

It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll

My Six Favourite Literary Insults

Jan23

Interesting read.

BRIDGET WHELAN writer

Literary insultsIt’s not all elegant sentences and good taste in the literary world…sometimes words can wound and sometimes they can bite back…

I haven’t any right to criticize books, and I don’t do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone.

William Faulkner on Mark Twain
A hack writer who would not have been considered fourth rate in Europe, who tricked out a few of the old proven sure fire literary skeletons with sufficient local color to intrigue the superficial and the lazy.

William Faulkner on Ernest Hemingway
He has never been known to use…
