A Little Something For The Rest Of Us by Bob Church
And I owe it all to a highly-technical and sophisticated computer program called 'Paint' that I found in my 'Accessories' pull-down box. I'm sure it was Microsoft's error, that they couldn't possibly mean to offer something so absolutely 'cutting-edge' to everyone. Truth is, I'd never noticed it before, and if I had, there'd probably already be hundreds of irreplaceable works of art that my genius mind engendered. Well, enjoy it now, everyone... because
someday you'll have to pay to see it in the Louvre. I must admit,
though... it doesn't look as good on the side of my house as
it does here.
Bob Church resides in mid-Missouri with his wife of three decades, Louise, their poodle, Carla, and their cat, Callie. After thirty years spent raising five children, he has reached the point in his life that allows time to pursue his real love, writing. You can find more of his stories/observations at notquiteright/ For more from Bob visit his other stories: December, then & before; his columns: now, then, before; and his poetry: then and before. |

Well, I've been busy since we last got together
here. Instead of writing (I think you'd agree that I've pretty
much mastered that), I decided I'd take up art as my next field
of endeavor. Above, you can see my very first creation. No, that's
okay, you don't have to just start sending me money, I'm only
too happy to be able to create it. Of course, when the American
Society of Fine Art calls and asks me to sell it to them for
millons of dollars, I suppose I'll cave in and, despite my most
dogged efforts to retain my amateur standing, sell it to them...
but only because I want the entire world to be able to experience
it when it hangs next to other works by the great masters.
