Art Painting--Sydney Opera House. Artist: Martin Plant©2009
my catalog number 4384.

I recently saw a picture of the Sydney Opera House and I wanted to show it in a different version from the one usually seen. I wanted to give the impression of "Music" and "Sound" and to do this I decided to use vibrant colors and high contrast instead of the mauve color of the opera house as we know it.

I began the drawing in the "eye-balling" technique. Artists know what I mean by this. It's a slow, laborious artist's method to draw something when you don't want to use rulers or other mechanical devices. And I don't. After about an hour of this I stopped for a break.When I returned, I made more "eye-balling" corrections until the drawing looked right.(And people think becoming an artist is just "ten easy lessons" Ha!) Then I added a sailboat to show that the Sydney Opera House was set on an island. After that came lots of decisions on which color combinations to use.

So here it is, The Sydney Opera House. Maestro, music please.

William Shakespeare. Playwright. ©Martin Plant

During Shakespeare's lifetime, he was a working playwright. Fortunately for him, his stuff was good and his work caught on early. His plays sold out to packed houses. But after a while, of course, ticket sales would dwindle. The solution was to write another play. This Shakespeare did, hoping his next play too would be popular with the public, and that it would continue to earn him a living. After all, he was a working stiff, like most of us.

What Shakespeare never realized was that his plays were not only popular, but that they would live on long after he was gone. He simply thought that his plays would be performed , run their course, and then be forgotten, as happened to many other playwrights. Instead, his work is being performed these five hundred years now. You can see his plays in the movies, on Broadway, at summer-stock, in colleges, at Shakespeare In The Park, and countless other venues. Not bad for a working stiff playwright.

art cartoon: The Devil and the Stock Market

Ah, the stock market. It never fails. You put money into it and the value of your portfolio goes down, when of course you thought it would go up. You even thought you would make a killing till you soon realized that the thing being killed was you. Remember the saying, "buy low sell high"? Ah, you poor guy. Yes, we know. With you it always seem to be "buy high and sell low." Welcome to the stock market,pal, and plenty of it.

Art Painting--Passover,Making Matzah

Making Matzah

I was watching a documentary the other day on the making of matzah.

Orthodox Jews make it and they call it Shmurah matzah.The process is done by hand. The

ingredients are flour and water only. It is eaten for eight days during Passover and during this

time, eating bread is forbidden as well as other leavened products. Not an easy time. Matzah is

hard on the stomach and it often causes constipation. Think of it as eating rock-hard pizza and

you will know what it's like to eat matzah.There is often relief when this holiday is finally over

eight long days later.

Tip: to make matzah more digestible, the secret is to chew it and chew it till

it all becomes a soft mush. Then swallow. At the same time, all this chewing helps bring out the

flavor in the matzah. Happy Passover.

Making Matzah. Artist: Martin Plant (c)2008. My catalog
