It was like this:
Long ago, Voronwë the Faithful claimed that the Atlantic Ocean is a better ocean than the Pacific. I challenged him on this ridiculous assertion, and when he would not relent I stormed out angrily, slamming the digital door behind me.
I worked out my anger by painting 1,500 pictures and putting them up for sale at my fancy-pants online gallery. My intention is to share them with you here. Your intention (though you may be unaware of it) is to buy one. If you insist, you may buy several.
I don’t believe I have any ocean scenes. It’s still a touchy subject.

Beautiful, Whistler.
Inanna, the gallery link is in Whistler's sig. I highly recommend it.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free
You've got it backwards, my old friend. I would be as likely to put the Atlantic over the glorious Pacific as I would to put Pratchett over Asimov (sorry Frelga).
Anyway, any excuse to welcome you back is a good one. Beautiful, thought-provoking artwork!

Gorgeous paintings, Whistler!
It's OK, V, at least you are right about the oceans.Voronwë the Faithful wrote:You've got it backwards, my old friend. I would be as likely to put the Atlantic over the glorious Pacific as I would to put Pratchett over Asimov (sorry Frelga).
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
