Deb Clarke gave me the “Heads” up on this Info. So I knew it must’ve had something to do with Art.
Is it Art?  Is It Intelligent Design?  What do You think?

“Sometimes your mind wanders in the most unusual places. It happened to me the other day as I was releasing the few extra beers I drank, and found myself concentrating on that little fly in the urinal. Then I thought about how that little insect made life a little better for the cleaning people who probably have less to clean, and for the customers of the place who have had a little more fun while in the restrooms (yes it doesn’t take much for a drunk guy to have fun).
So if you think about it, this simple drawing of a fly improved everybody’s life a little. But how?
- By staying simple.
A common advice for webdesigners is: “Don’t make the user think”. In our particular case, the urinal user doesn’t think and just follows his instinct: he pisses on that damn annoying fly that’s teasing him. - By understanding the user’s needs.
In the urinating situation, all the user needs is a little guidance to focus on keeping the place clean, without even thinking about it. If the user instinctively knows what to do, your design is good. - By making a clever use of white space.
Less is more, every designer knows this sentence I guess. If you designed this, many clients would probably have asked you to make the fly bigger or add more flies, which would in both cases be totally useless.” -   From Designer-Daily
Winter is a great time to learn a new skill you want to use in the warmer months. Whether you’ve always wanted to be able to join those easel jockeys out at Halibut Point on warm summer evenings, or make sketches of places you visit on vacation, I can help you develop the skills. I hold a drawing class on Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m., and a painting class (any medium, including pastels) on Saturday mornings from 10 to noon.
Although I don’t hold regular gallery hours during the deep winter months (it’s commonly known that most retail is pretty dead between New Years and Tax Day) I’m still available to open the gallery for private viewings by appointment. If you would like to stop by and say hello, or have a particular painting you would like to see, please give me a call at 978-281-2803, or you can drop me an email at 
If you’re not aware, I was a resident artist in Dinan, France for the month of December. I’m posting articles about my travels, my work and sightseeing on my blog. You can find it at
