Life Echoes Life
“Life imitates art.” That’s the theme for this week’s Daily Post photo challenge.
Hmmm. I thought of a great photo op for this topic but, alas, it would involve two other people who are not available today, a drive to a city park where the art is located, and getting wet in the rain… Maybe next time. Or later in the week, at least.
In the meantime, here’s my take on life imitating art imitating life. Or something like that.
It starts with a photo of my daughters playing the piano:

which I used to create this painting:

“Girls at Piano” by me.
And now my daughters are grown, and my granddaughter, while not “imitating” her mom and aunt or the painting of them, is nonetheless creating her own version of the theme:

I’m not sure how the dog fits into all this, but I’m sure that — with my granddaughter’s tutoring — he’ll be playing in no time at all.

Dog Imitates Art
The theme for this week’s Daily Post photo challenge is “Life Imitates Art.”
When I created the “Canid” panel (pictured below), I had a fox in mind. Some folks commented that it looked like my American Eskimo dog, except for the coloring of course.
I’ve been thinking about tweaking the design to make a similar panel to represent my Eskie. Might have to add that to the queue of projects.
In the meantime, enjoy my entry for the “life imitates art” challenge:
