Channelling Twain

Always fond of painting, my preference, Realism, I did a portrait of Bidden – but the nose kept going beyond the frame – so, with desire for the problem to tame, naturally, I got an-unnaturally larger frame. Soon, with necessary, repeated application, the wall gave way, and the nose was out in the rain – then, my neighbors began to complain – myself at last reasoning, that, when rendering politicians, Modern Abstract, like Hunter's, would be a medium more sane – I discarded my begun Harris, probably an ever greater migraine.

Ain't that the truth -- for sure, they probably all even lie in bed, but, definitely, could not lie straight. I Agree!

What do we do now, with a supply shortage of aspirins? I will have to open a new bottle of anisette. Blessings my friend!
