Jacob's Toys by Claudia Woods7/6/2023 The watercolor was entitled “Lexington Avenue Express” and was painted in 1993 and is still for purchase on Ebayĭear Charles, Corrina, Kristin, and Ben and your families: I guess everyone wants to be the birth of something artistic like that. I just watched an excerpt from a PBS Oregon show he appeared on, and he seemed to have such a nice Non-threatening approach to random people on the street that he asked if he could take a photo of them because he might turn it into a painting. I noticed some other possibly acrylic paintings he has done of a woman with a man and at least two different poses. One of The figures in the painting looks familiar, as if she modeled for him in a poster stage situation. As a professional photographer, I highly suspected that this one image was taken and referenced from one of his photos that he would capture. WESTERMAN, but I have followed a series of twist interns have been found one of his watercolors that I purchased from a Goodwill in Arlington Virginia.

Stone mad elizabeth bear7/6/2023 This is post-HEA, and they are trying to figure out how to be with each other when they’re not just running on adrenaline, being pulled from one death-defying adventure to the next. But what I was most focused on was Karen and Priya. I had already been delighted by the mention of splintercats in the first book. If they didn’t want us to cheat, they should have made the game fair.”Īnother fun element was the addition of the fact that although spiritualists may or may not be legit in this universe, it’s common knowledge that creatures like Tommyknockers, sasquatches, and jackalopes exist. As Karen says (I may be paraphrasing, but this is what I remember), “Men own most things, especially white men. After all, there weren’t a lot of opportunities for single women to make their own money. I love hearing stories about the rise of spiritualism and the elaborate cons carried out, mostly by women. Still, I liked it enough that I immediately picked up the sequel, and at the beginning, I was sure I would like it more than Karen Memory. First of all, Victorian spiritualists are my jam. This is the reason I don’t typically watch action movies or read action-adventures. I finished the first book and enjoyed the characters and the world, but (partly because I was listening to the audiobook), I had trouble following the plot. Author of the shack7/6/2023 God doesn’t just want His people to be followers of a bunch of rules of some man-made religion. First of all, The Shack depicts how God desires a relationship with His people because He loves us. I believe there are three positives that can be taken from this book. Many times I have heard people say something like this: “If only I could just see God face-to-face, just like Moses, then I would believe.” Based on a tragic murder, The Shack was intended to help believers understand in a metaphorical sense how God feels when traveling through the tough times and His desire to have a personal relationship with people, even when bad things happen to good people. What is it that makes this story so compelling? I believe bringing the three Persons of the Godhead to an almost-human level intrigues many readers. A movie based on the book starring Sam Worthington was released in the United State opened on March 3rd, 2017 and is certain to be viewed by millions of people.

Lawrence alma7/6/2023 One of the most highly regarded studios of the time in Belgium at the time was that of Jan August Hendrik Leys, and Alma-Tadema's next post was here. This attention to detail in producing ancient scenes went on to become one of the traits of his work. De Taeyes was also a strong proponent of historical accuracy and Alma-Tadema was encouraged to depict this in his own works. De Taeye was fascinated by historical costumes and history and these caught the imagination of Alma-Tadema. Alma-Tadema went on to be a studio assistant to Louis Jan de Taeye between 1855-1858. To this end he learnt under Egide Charles Gustave Wappers at the Royal Academy of Antwerp (his family was at that time settled in Belgium) where he studied Flemish and Dutch art. As a result he was allowed to choose his own path and instead decided to become an artist. Although he was originally expected to enter law professionally, Alma-Tadema suffered a physical and mental breakdown aged 15. From early on in his career Alma-Tadema showed promise, receiving accolades and prizes for his work even during his studies. Alma-Tadema produced many decorative paintings of classical and romantic scenes which were highly popular during his lifetime.

Marriage for One by Ella Maise7/6/2023 We were doomed from the very beginning with those names. The next it was still nothing but a lie.Īfter all, I was Rose and he was Jack. The next he seemed to be completely mine. And day after day my heart started to get a mind of its own. No, he still didn't talk much, but anyone can string a few words together. It wasn't long after he said I was the biggest mistake of his life that things started to change. I blamed his eyes, the ocean blue eyes that looked straight into mine unapologetically, and that frown on his face I had no idea I would become so fascinated with in time. Jack Hawthorne was nothing like what I'd imagined for myself. It took him only minutes to talk me into a business deal…erm, I mean marriage, and only days for us to officially tie the knot. Well…I did all those things except the walking away part. You'd think I'd laugh in his face, call him insane-and a few other names-then walk away as quickly as possible. A stranger who had been dumped by her fiancé only weeks before. A complete stranger who had never even heard of him. You'd think a guy who looked like him-a bit cold maybe, but still striking and very unattainable-would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You'd think he must be madly in love. The day he lured me into his office-which was also the first day we met-he proposed. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book from Social Butterfly PR in exchange for an honest review.

Billy budd and other tales7/6/2023 This Penguin Classics edition features the Reading Text of Billy Budd, Sailor, as edited from a genetic study of the manuscript by Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Also including The Piazza Tales in full, this collection demonstrates why Melville stands not only among the greatest writers of the nineteenth century, but also as one of our greatest contemporaries. In these stories, Melville cuts to the heart of race, class, capitalism, and globalism in America, deftly navigating political and social issues that resonate as clearly in our time as they did in Melville’s. In the sorrowful tragedy of Billy Budd, Sailor the controlled rage of Benito Cereno and the tantalizing enigma of Bartleby, the Scrivener Melville reveals himself as a singular storyteller of tremendous range and compelling power. Though best-known for his epic masterpiece Moby-Dick, Herman Melville also left a body of short stories arguably unmatched in American fiction. A new, definitive edition of Herman Melville’s virtuosic short stories-American classics wrought with scorching fury, grim humor, and profound beauty Son of zeus glyn iliffe7/6/2023 For it's only through the strength of their golden warrior that the pride of the Trojans will finally fall. When Agamemnon angers the formidable Achilles, the battle for Troy seems doomed to failure.
