HOW STRANGE THOU ART
Mrs. Cranky
just showed me a flyer and asked if I would be interested. The flyer was from a restaurant we frequent
that was holding an art clinic. For $22
they provide the materials and I assume some instruction for you to create whatever
you please on canvas.
“Sounds like a nice idea, but I’m not
interested in the art, I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler.”
“I thought we could take two cars,
have a nice dinner and then I would stay for the art. It is a Tuesday, so it’s “Deadliest Catch”
night on TV.”
“Sure, sounds like a good idea, who
knows, maybe you have some artistic talent, after all Casey (step-crank) is
very talented, maybe she got some of that from you.”
“I can paint, I used to paint all the
time, I gave all my art supplies to Casey.”
“What! You have artistic talent? We’ve
been together for 8 years and I am just now finding out you have talent as an
artist?”
“You never asked.”
“Why did you give it up? I wish I had a talent for anything.”
“All the paints and spirits made me
dizzy. I would get high, not in a good
way so I stopped.”
“What? Just open a friggin window, or paint
outdoors.”
“Well I could do that I guess.”
“Holy Hannah, 8 years…what other
surprises are you hiding?”
“Oh, I have surprises.”
“Here’s an idea, maybe you could try
that artistic talent on your grocery list so I could read it, or is your
specialty ‘Modern Art’?”
“You’re a jerk!”

| Mrs. Cranky's first attempt in 40 years. |
oh ,i am sorry that things for you end up always with arguments or negative words,
ReplyDeleteyou have to have just one talent the talent of appreciation whatever talent she has ,
You have to learn the art of knowing when to shut up...but then you'd probably have to change the name of your blog:)
ReplyDeletehahaha love it!
DeleteI love her art work! Very nicely done! I've seen similar things here; not dinner, but wine with opportunity to draw/paint a picture. I'm thinking that could be fun to do, provided I have a designated driver and there is enough wine flowing; I'm sure even I could be artistic.
ReplyDeleteI hope Mrs. Cranky continues with her talent; looks she has a good one here :)
betty
I love your conversations. I really do and mostly they end in the same way. you need to put jerk as your middle name. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
The butterfly is a good first step towards painting again.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how deep this double life of hers goes!
If Mrs. Crank outlives you, I think she should chisel your tombstone herself and just for laughs do it in her own writing so that for the rest of time NO ONE will be able to read your tombstone and won't know who the heck is buried there. That's a way to get even for the way you made fun of her grocery lists all these years.
ReplyDeletegood idea. i'll have to remember that ...
DeleteHow nice. Did you paint or catch fish on the tube?
ReplyDeleteWell she not only has talent but was considerate to have Deadliest Catch lined up for you as an alternative. Think she knows you Cranky. This time, I am on team Mrs. C.
ReplyDeleteJust go paint! I've been to those paint parties before, they are rather fun if wine is involved.
ReplyDeleteGotta love you two.

Gosh, Joe, you were doing so good there and then . . .
ReplyDeleteit's lovely! you married a secret-keeping, talented woman. :)
ReplyDeleteHope she continues to paint now that she's tried her hand at it again. Love Katrina's idea, too!
ReplyDeleteI like her art, and think that she should get busy painting all the treats she expects you to keep your hand off of...with a big red circle/bar painted across the picture, banning you from them.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my kids, who always seem shocked when they learn new things about me.
ReplyDelete8 years? Its amazing how long it takes to get to know someone.
ReplyDeleteJust got around to seeing this. It is a really nice painting! Where you gonna hang it?
