Les Estranges Amoureuses by Tennessee Williams
This painting’s title translates from French into ‘The Strange Lovers’. It depicts two yang naked man standing in close proximity to one another, although there is a mood of loneliness, paralleling themes exercised in Williams’ plays. The figures appear to be disconnected, or perhaps oblivious to what is around them, or ostracized for tacit reasons.
En la plaza se encuentra el Museo Taurino que lleva el nombre de Antonio Ordóñez, que estuvo muy vinculado a Málaga.

Following our tour of the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West, I headed around the back of the gift shop to purchase some bottled water from the vending machines by the restroom. The door to the women's restroom was open, and I spotted this cute polydactyl cat relaxing on the tile floor. (Not all of the cats have six toes, but all carry the polydactyl gene.)
A friend gave me this to read. The book was pretty beat up with a missing cover and pages nearly torn in half. I figured it would be something different for me to read, but I guess I just am not meant to read "classic" literature. I didn't find the book very interesting and in fact thought it was written at a middle school level. Of course what do I know?
Hemingway’s study is on the second floor of a small building behind the home. It was here that he wrote some of his most famous works, including classics like "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," “To Have And Have Not,” and “Green Hills of Africa.”
This is a collage of a few of the pictures I took last fall (2006) for Steve, an avid Hemingway enthusiast. The entire Hemingway set was deleted by a computer hacker who accessed my Flickr account.

I was sorting through some old art supplies and got the urge to create some ACEO cards (ie. Art Card Editions and Originals). Size: 2.5" x 3.5". Medium: Art Markers and colored pencils on card stock. (sorry for the obnoxious watermark... too many internet thieves).

Untitled, 1978 by Tennessee Williams
This portret is of unknown individual who connected with Williams in Key West. It was not uncommon for Williams to spend time in the company of young men.
Occasionally, he would memorialize the encounter with a painting and, on occasion, he bestowed the painting upon his young companions as a gift.
It was in this living room that Ernest Hemingway sat and looked out over Ketchum as his depression worsened. It was here that he mused over the final writings of "A Moveable Feast"...
In July 1961 he took his life in a small room just 20 feet from here.
This is another image from our trip to Key West a few weeks ago. This was taken at Ernest Hemingway's home, now a museum, and is a scene from his study. A little Photoshop magic was added just for fun.
French chandeliers installed in the house by Pauline Hemingway - these replaced the original ceiling fans and, as the guide commented, "Every day I look at those chandeliers and think of Pauline".
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".
Yesterday, 30 July 2015, a buddy and I took a day trip, which turned out to be in excess of 350 miles (563 km). So, here are a few pics from that day trip, all shot with the Fuji X20.
Ernest Hemingway:
One morning in April, 1961, following electro-shock treatments at the Mayo Clinic, and back in Ketchum, Idaho, Mary (Hemingway’s fourth wife), "found Hemingway holding a shotgun". She called a local Ketchum physician, Dr. George Saviers, a long time personal friend, who sedated him and admitted him to the Sun Valley hospital; from there Hemingway was returned to the Mayo Clinic for more electro-shock treatments.
Hemingway was released in late June and arrived back home in Ketchum on June 30. Two days later, in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961, Hemingway "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun. He unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer of their Ketchum home, and with the "double-barreled shotgun that he had used so often it might have been a friend", he shot himself.
Mary called the Sun Valley Hospital, and a doctor quickly arrived at the house. Despite his finding that Hemingway "had died of a self-inflicted wound to the head", the story told to the press was that the death had been "accidental".
