Joan Crawford

Whenever I need a good dose of class, elegance and noir entertainment, I always turn to a good Joan Crawford movie. My favorite: Queen Bee, in which she plays a vicious, narcissistic, controling bitch.  I love the color pink and apparently so did Joanie.  Since most of her hey day movies were in black and white, I had a hard time finding a prototype photo of her to work from. Here she is in colorful Hollywood glamour, the laye great Joan Crawford.

Heaven's Latest Addition to the Choir of Angels

Image
Barry saw a new estate auction that popped up on Facebook. It included the personal belongings of the late Olivia Newton John who sadly passed  2 years ago.  Among her estate items were several of her own drawings, crosses, mirrors, watches, clothing, and a Bible. It inspired me to draw her likeness. Sweet and angelic...Sandy from Grease. She lived near us in the Santa Ynez Valley and I had the blessing of meeting her and talking to her during one of her fund raisers. I just remember how kind and sweet she was and how her personality matched her perfect voice. Yes, without a doubt, the Heavenly  Choir welcomed this new angel with open arms.  May this rendering remind us all of this beautiful soul we lost.

On August 13th 2018 in rhe wee hours of dawn, health supplement entrepreneur Shanann Watts and her 2 daughters, Cece and Bella, were murdered. Shanann was also pregnant with a son named Nico. Chris Watts, husband and father, strangled them all in a premeditated act in order to start a new life with his mistress.  It isn't important how they died but how they lived. Now they are spending eternity in heaven together and Chris? Well, Chris will be spending the rest of his life in prison; a fate much more merciful than the fate of his family. His 4 year-old daughter Bella was recorded singing a song about her daddy called My Daddy is A Hero. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
