“There’s definitely a place for real glamour – and a real woman must be in her late 30’s or early 40’s because the young ones haven’t the foggiest idea what it’s all about.”

In Fellig’s “In The Movie Theater”, the young man didn’t bother to take off his 3-D glasses before giving his sweetie a kiss 🙂
He wants to kiss her in 3D:-)
Robert,
Your painting is so deeply touching, thoughtful, and inspiring all at the same time.
As I am writing this email and looking at the painting, at the same moment my Ham radio on my desk is just picking up typical background static/noise. This noise from eternity and your picture depicting the eternity of G-D is eerie!
I’ve always thought “Ain Sof” is such a wonderful name, better yet, description, for G-D.
Do you know when it was first used? I feel it might have been in the times of Isaac Luria.
Peter
Thanks so much for the kind words about my art.
and Lielle Meital is absolutely right: God does hear prayer. I am working in my head on one prayer he really answered for me years ago.
Love the picture of the British children! The Glasgow scene looks so depressing.
Two characters from my favorite Neville Shute novel, “Trustee from the Toolroom” were from Renfrew, a suburb of Glasgow, and which is described as a slum.
Shute’s most famous novel was “on the Beach,” which I read in college and almost dropped out of school. He hated the movie and there is a story that his death was caused by his anger at the changes in the story by the movie.
