Spring Poppies
4″ x 4″ Acrylic
Ryan, on his blog,
asmalltowndad, posted a photo of poppies and challenged all of us who follow his blog to do our own version of the poppies and post them today. I have already peeked at his and they are gorgeous! I did mine on a little paper machete box. Here are a couple other views.
I’m off to post a link on
Ryan’s blog. It should be fun looking at all the poppies today!
About William James
American psychologist and philosopher William James, brother to author Henry James, wrote voluminously during his life, exploring a range of issues from a theory of emotion to a philosophy of history. He was born in New York in 1842 and wanted to be an artist, but his father disapproved. He obtained a medical degree but felt unsatisfied and depressed, leading to a crisis that he called his soul sickness. After this turning point, he began his fulfilling second career. He died in 1910.
