“Standards” claudy

“Standards”
Since the beginning of time and everyday, a promiscuous person, who lacks standards in judgement, may meet and fall in love with a special person who is their opposite!  Frequently, a promiscuous person changes when in love and can live happily ever after.  In fact, it is quite common and not at all unusual.  Celine Dione would call it, “The Power Of Love”.  I call it, “Growing Up”.

However, if a promiscuous person does not change, I suggest turning, running and never look back…. claudy

“Lauren” claudy

“Lauren”
I remember when I first realized Lauren as a small infant was abnormal. I said to my brother, “Oh my God she is smarter than all of us!” In first grade she tested in the top 1% for intelligence in the nation. Lauren is a genius. She is the most intelligent person I have ever known. Now you may think like I thought how fortunate and lucky to be gifted however you may then realize most all children want to be normal and Lauren is not and never will be! She has accepted this fact and is well adjusted. However, I know had she been able to choose her genius or not she would have preferred to be less intelligent like everyone else.
I have told Lauren many times during her life when she gets to college and in the later years of her studies she will then appreciate her abnormality.
Ladies and gentlemen I am proud to announce Lauren will start the University of Florida in September with a full scholarship and will be majoring in her favorite subject of mathematics.
This is a painting of my beautiful niece Lauren and who knows what discovery may be inside her brilliant mind….. uncle claudy

“Goodbye Ghetto” claudy

“Goodbye Ghetto”
With my third and final move in five months complete, I say goodbye to the ghetto! I am just giddy with my new home. It is surprising how living outside the ghetto is substantially less expensive. I can not walk to my favorite grocery any more but it’s just a quick bus ride away!  I am in a safe and clean environment and that’s what counts.

I live in a retirement apartment complex but aloud in because I am disabled.  Most residents are my favorite kind…elderly!  Many lined up on the sidewalk with some in wheelchairs and some with walkers to watch all my belongings taken off the truck and carried upstairs into my apartment.  The ooohs and ahhhs were flattering as hundreds of my paintings were seen by the residents who now call me, “Dali”.  I know I’m going to like it here!

I will not move again until my book is edited, published and to hot to handle in the market place. I look to the future with positive vibes and a hopeful reality……
