It has been more than a great while since I last posted anything to the blog. So I decided to start off the year commenting about some of the artwork by one of my favorite painters.
The artist is Jack Vettriano.

The first print is titled Dance Me To The End Of Love. If I recall properly, this was the first print that would introduce me to Vettriano's work. The overall setting of seeing elegantly dressed couples dancing a waltz in a twilight atmosphere had me easily captured. Anytime I come across this print, I imagine of a time not so long ago.
I like to think I have a privatized sense of a classical romantic heart is the primary reason I am so attracted to this print's imagery.

Japanese Ultra cargo pants
I have always been a great fan (and wearer/user) of cargo pants. I had come to realize that I carry just slightly too much for traditional pockets or the items I want to carry are too large for decent comfort. While surfing the net for this blog topic, I came across the above photo.

Ohhh, I want at least three pairs of that style!!!

Unfortunately, the site that the photo is supposed to come from no longer exists. At the time of the blogger's posting, he said the price was 140USD. I know I would not pay that amount for a pair of cargo pants; but still, I most definately want them.

This has got to be the most amusing photo I have come across in a great while.The full story is here.
