blue period of Picasso

Portrait of Mateu Fernández de Soto

Just letting you know I will not be uploading any more confronting art, so you can relax.

I don’t like most of the art from Picasso, and I don’t like the man either, but I do like this painting from his blue period.

I don’t care about any painting’s value because value in art is completely arbitrary. I would love to own Rothko paintings but will never ever be able afford them.

If you enjoy some art, enjoy it. It doesn’t need to have any external value for it to be good.

it’s official…I now have chronic wrist pain.

When I was 16, I had a motorbike accident. Right shoulder, both wrists and both knees were affected.

In my mid to late 20s I started getting shoulder pain and wrist pain when working out. At the time I was also a ballroom dance teacher so had even more pressure on my right wrist, so the pain got worse.

Going to the gym was always a problem for me as the wrist would cop a lot of pressure from weightlifting. Anyway, I over the years the pain has come and gone but now it is here to stay!

Living with chronic pain wears me down emotionally, even though it’s early days with the pain being there all the time.

At the moment I’m working on using my left arm as much as possible. This helps so much.

My Aunt has been living with pain most of her adult life and I’ve learnt a lot from her.

please bring back the bush (or trimmed)

I know the history of why this happened…porn is watched by billions of people and in porn movies the women have no pubic hair. This trend then caught on and women around the world started to shave/wax down there.

I used to have a friend (in his 70’s) who would say: “no feathers, no fu#k!” and I must agree with him. Not that I’m sexually active, but I really want women to have a natural bush. One that is healthy and ordinary.

What do you think?
