You are quite welcome. I like Hopper, and love Robbins. It felt a little weird doing a birthday ode to Tom Robbins, since he is still alive!

It is a beautiful portrait of second Empire Victorian home! Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho took the inspiration of Bates house from this piece. Isn’t it just lovely? I found it profound in both impression and expression. Brilliant work 🙂

It is one of my favourite Hopper paintings. I don’t like all of his work, but this one caught my fancy years ago! It is brilliant, indeed. Thanks so much for stopping by!

No matter what he painted, Hopper’s paintings were haunted.

I recently told someone that the wheels were falling off the wagon in regard to some aches and pains I was having. She said “no, they are not falling off, just realigning themselves”. Which was quite true. Thank you for asking, maedez. I hope you are well, too, and enjoying life.

I am well, thank you. I hope you have plenty of time to nurture your muse.
