Been Reading gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and I feel inspired to draw it so I can see it. It is a dense, difficult, weird, at times disjointed, disturbing, repulsive, fascinating, technical, winding, encompassing, challenging, thrilling, insightful, wonderful ...and many more adjectives are needed to describe the scope of this book. I read to stimulate my brain to draw...and the more difficult and obscure the subject matter the more I like the challenge of trying to interpret it.

Proverbs 5:3-5 GUYS, my brothers! This is one every guy struggles with, some more than others, but till we take our last breath...young, old, married, single... BEWARE! Put stuff on your computer, phone, etc...road blocks! Have accountability with someone you know will call you out and that you will be embarrassed with. Guard your heart. I strongly recommend the book Every Man's Battle. Don't get me wrong, every guy wants a beautiful girl, and every guys definition of beautiful is different, am I right? Lol but when you know her heart isn't after God, that she is looking for things you aren't, when she might be easy, or seducing you... We are easily trapped. One verse says she has brought down even strong men... Think of king David, a man after God's own heart... Run! Stay away! This verse is fact and you can go anywhere in the world and find it's proof, it's evidence in broken homes, broken lives, tear stained pillows... No matter if you come from a strong family or a broken home, be rock firm determined to not be the player, to not be that guy that uses and takes for selfish gain, to not be the one who tears hearts into sheds.... Be men of God! Arise and oh man of God...be wise. If you have fallen, today is a new day. If you have never, then vow to never... Don't let her beauty fool you. Don't let her eyes lure you. I pray for myself and all men. Girls don't be this girl! Vow deep in your soul to be pure, to be godly, to be willing to think enough of yourself to be worthy of a strong God fearing man! No guy is perfect, but guard your body, heart, future for the right one. Don't sell it for a feeling of love, acceptance, and feeling attractive, desired, wanted... It's not worth the price you'll pay.
Men, real men, guard all girls purity, bodies, hearts! Doesn't mean they don't want to ravish you ;) we are all animals at heart, and never be fooled into thinking less, girls. Guys are animals! I am one, i know and i tell my sister and girls I love this truth. But God designed the beauty of a man and woman in a way that is right and fun and perfect...but the devil will sell you lies and yes! It will feel gooood! But the price is your soul! It destroys us men! Don't let it! Fight! Ask forgiveness everyday and stay close to God through His Word, church, good godly friends, preaching, serving... May we all find God's mercy and grace as we strive to be and become godly husbands, fathers, sons, daughters, wives, leaders, servants, Christ followers! Amen?

Netherlandish Proverbs - Pieter Bruegel the Elder - Nathan(Green Box) 4000 piece
What a puzzle this was & very, very enjoyable. This is the 2nd 3k+ puzzle I have done of this, the previous version was the 3k Ravensburger...The colours & dark areas were completely different in both puzzles, this Nathan being the harder due to the much darker areas, an example would be the bottom/right of the puzzle, the man under the table is barely visible in this version, whereas the Ravensberger version he stood out.
The puzzle itself was worn to say the least, many parts needed fixing probably due to the over tight fit(one reason I like loose pieces). Ware & tear apart the puzzle was amazing quality, even with all the dark areas I only had two false fits & that was in the outside pieces which can be common place. The cut was very odd, it was neither Grid or Ribbon but a mixture of them both, this made it slightly harder to begin with but I soon got the hang of it. Overall a solid 8.5/10
As the wife wants her dining table back for Christmas I have had to agree to do up to 2k puzzle until after Christmas(BOOOOOOO!) LOL
On to the next...
Netherlandish Proverbs (Dutch: Nederlandse Spreekwoorden; also called Flemish Proverbs, The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder that depicts a scene in which humans and, to a lesser extent, animals and objects, offer literal illustrations of Dutch-language proverbs and idioms.
Running themes in Bruegel's paintings that appear in Netherlandish Proverbs are the absurdity, wickedness and foolishness of humans. Its original title, The Blue Cloak or The Folly of the World, indicates that Bruegel's intent was not just to illustrate proverbs, but rather to catalogue human folly. Many of the people depicted show the characteristic blank features that Bruegel used to portray fools.
His son, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, specialised in making copies of his father's work and painted at least 16 copies of Netherlandish Proverbs. Not all versions of the painting, by father or son, show exactly the same proverbs and they also differ in other minor details. The original work by Bruegel the Elder is in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, with the copies in numerous other collections.
Proverbs were very popular in Bruegel's time and before; a hundred years before Bruegel's painting, illustrations of proverbs had been popular in the Flemish books of hours. A number of collections were published, including Adagia, by the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus. The French writer François Rabelais employed significant numbers in his novel Gargantua and Pantagruel, completed in 1564.
The Flemish artist Frans Hogenberg made an engraving illustrating 43 proverbs in around 1558, roughly the same time as Bruegel's painting. The work is very similar in composition to Bruegel's and includes certain proverbs (like the Blue Cloak) which also feature prominently in Netherlandish Proverbs. By depicting literal renditions of proverbs in a peasant setting, both artists have shown a "world turned upside down".
Bruegel himself had produced several works, mostly prints and drawings, on the subject of proverbs including Big Fish Eat Little Fish (1556) and Twelve Proverbs (1558), but Netherlandish Proverbs is thought to have been his first large-scale painting on the theme.
The painting, dated 1559, is considered the best of a series of similar paintings which at one time or other have all previously been attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, has been x-rayed for its underdrawing to compare it to other versions. None of the versions have a provenance going back further than the late 19th century, but Bruegel scholars believe that the paintings are the elder Bruegel's inventions, which all make use of a life-size cartoon with the same underdrawing as that used in the Berlin version. The paintings, which are not inscribed, tease the viewer into guessing proverbs. They are based on 1558 and earlier engravings that are inscribed, in Flemish. The most notable of these regarding the paintings is by Frans Hogenberg, and it is dated 1558 and accompanied by the title Die blau huicke is dit meest ghenaemt, maer des weerelts abvisen he beter betaempt (English: Often called 'The Blue Cloak', this could better be called 'The World's Follies'). The Doetecum brothers produced a print series in 1577 called De Blauwe Huyck. Theodoor Galle also made a print, dated later, with a similar title: Dese wtbeeldinghe wort die blauw hvyck genaemt, maer deze werelts abvysen haer beter betaemt.
Critics have praised the composition for its ordered portrayal and integrated scene. There are approximately 126 identifiable proverbs and idioms in the scene, although Bruegel may have included others which cannot be determined because of the language change. Some of those incorporated in the painting are still in popular use, for instance "Swimming against the tide", "Banging one's head against a brick wall" and "Armed to the teeth". Many more have faded from use, which makes analysis of the painting harder. "Having one's roof tiled with tarts", for example, which meant to have an abundance of everything and was an image Bruegel would later feature in his painting of the idyllic Land of Cockaigne (1567).
The Blue Cloak, the piece's original title, features in the centre of the piece and is being placed on a man by his wife, indicating that she is cuckolding him. Other proverbs indicate human foolishness. A man fills in a pond after his calf has died. Just above the central figure of the blue-cloaked man, another man carries daylight in a basket. Some of the figures seem to represent more than one figure of speech (whether this was Bruegel's intention or not is unknown), such as the man shearing a sheep in the centre bottom left of the picture. He is sitting next to a man shearing a pig, so represents the expression "One shears sheep and one shears pigs", meaning that one has the advantage over the other, but may also represent the advice "Shear them but don't skin them", meaning make the most of available assets.
Proverbs 4:5-9
"Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown."
I had a concept for how I wanted this to turn out and it just didn't turn out how I wanted, in either colour or pose but I didn't have much time to get the shot so this was a quick one.

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. (KJV)

My first rudimentary efforts at embroidering text - recently rediscovered during a tidy-up. Gaelic proverb roughly translated says: "You don't know someone until you'v e shared a peat-stack with them". For peat-stack you could read "log-pile"? It's a comment on domestic bliss - or not?! I'd like to try more of these.
Proverbs 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. It’s hard to explain in words how sin works and how much it binds you into slavery, chains and a dark dungeon. Much like a frog that will let you cook it to death without ever making a sound as long as the heat is low and it slowly warms. The devil does the same thing to us. A lot of times even when the Bible is clear on stuff, we prefer our logic and think it’s not that bad or something “like that” can’t hurt me really…(cont reading)

Proverbs 18:22 Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD. – This is an awesome verse for guys and girls, young and old. As a Christian we are to be equally yoked in dating/courting other Christian. You should never Missionary Date because you really like him/her and want them to get saved so it’s ok. That is not biblical and is not wise. You should first become

There is a friend who sticketh closer
Why, when you enter the room, does my heart
turn warm and red, and all those other words
grow muffled, as under snow? Why do leaf veins
seem to swell with green blood, and the forms
of all things become rounder and aglow? Why
do the shadow and the echo gain such sudden
substance; why does water seem to flow
more slowly, birds to consider more closely
the cadences of their songs? Why is there
sudden, gratuitous artistry in the dried sloe,
the crow-feather, the sunlight and cedar cone?
Why does the pulse of all run cold when I turn
to go? When I step over the rod, why does a poem
fall from me like a child of Arianrhod?
Poem by Giles Watson, 2013.
"The world turned upside down" depicts life in a typical village it is an illustration of the folly of mankind. I have put a note on a few of the nearly 100 proverbs that are known to be depicted in this complex work. Some do not translate exactly, but one can get an idea of what's going on. It strikes me that very little has changed in four hundred years. This is a copy by Brueghel the younger of his father's work which was in Berlin.

It strikes me that very little has changed in four hundred years. This is a copy by Brueghel the younger of his father's work which was in Berlin. Netherlandish Proverbs (also called The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder which depicts a land populated with literal renditions of Flemish proverbs of the day. The picture is overflowing with references and most of the representations can still be identified; while many of the proverbs have either been forgotten or never made the transition to the English language, some are still in use. Proverbs were popular during Bruegel's time: a number of collections were published including a famous work by Erasmus. Frans Hogenberg had produced an engraving illustrating about 40 proverbs in around 1558 and Bruegel himself had painted a collection of Twelve Proverbs on individual panels by 1558 and had also produced Big Fish Eat Little Fish in 1556, but Netherlandish Proverbs is thought to be the first large scale painting on the theme. Rabelais depicted a land of proverbs in his novel Pantagruel soon after in 1564.
Bruegel's paintings have themes of the absurdity, wickedness and foolishness of mankind, and this painting is no exception. The picture was originally entitled The Blue Cloak or The Folly of the World which indicates he was not intending to produce a mere collection of proverbs but rather a study of human stupidity. Many of the people depicted show the characteristic blank features which Bruegel used to portray fools. His son, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, specialised in making copies of his father's work, and painted up to twenty copies of Netherlandish Proverbs. Not all versions of the painting, by father or son, show exactly the same proverbs, also differing in other details.

I made this image today. My friend, Kathleen, asked if I'd make her a Facebook timeline using the image and include the Proverbs 31:25 verse. Since Kathleen is practically like a "daughter" I had no problem making the timeline for her. She chose the verse because she thought it fit her upcoming Autumn wedding theme (her wedding is October 2015).
