Let Sleeping Dogs Lie Painting



I first saw this painting (print) at a friends house, hanging in her master bedroom. This is the friend with whom we used to trade dogs while each of our families travelled. I always love it. Peaceful. Calm. It is called Master Bedroom (I think) and is by Andrew Wyeth.

Well, I have a little extra cash from my dogsitting and editor jobs. I saw this on sale at Kirkland's and now it is hanging in our office (the room with the new doors). It is over a sage green couch that is not spectacular, but the painting makes it look just right.

I love it.

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
