I thought I would follow up my submission to the Daily Prompt: Make Me Smile with this homage to Rene Magritte’s painting Ceci nest pas une pipe.
Its partner piece is entitled not a painting or Ceci n’est pas une peinture in keeping with the homage, since it really isn’t a painting, but as you can see is indeed a knot…in a frame…which by the way is not for sale!
Finally, this week I submitted for the first time to the Weekly Writing Challenge. This week’s challenge is to write a story in exactly fifty words. I entitled it Knot at Home (sound familiar?) It is another homage, this one to Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, as you will see if you visit the post on my other site theotherpalette.
OK…I think it’s time in the immortal words of George Burns to “Say Goodnight, Gracie”…

…I could feel the warmth of that Umbrian sun and I knew that I had arrived…
