POST #100...

This is the 100th post on Anne Noir...so to celebrate I am dedicating this post to my dear old Dad. That's him in his highchair planning his next business move. My Dad was in his element buying and selling. There was nothing in his realm that was not for sale for a price. I used to joke that if selling kids wasn't against the law I would have been long gone. I lived under my Father's roof for 20 years...actually it was 16 different roofs as he indulged his passion for real estate. The man could sell ice to an Eskimo. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time...as his Uncle Bud used to say "That @#$% kid could fall down the privy in an out house and come out smelling like a rose." Dad also knew how to manage the money he made...I spent half my life calling him Scrooge...but when you really needed help...he was always there.

REALITY IN BLACK AND WHITE...

artwork...Silence by George Gile

Although I love , love , love color I also find myself drawn to black and white...hence Annie Noir. You may have notice the graphic changes on my other blogs because of Blogger's new design feature. I tried it out and was kind of annoyed to find you cannot go back to the old style blog design once you install the new. Although I like the new graphics well enough I think I am going to hang on to that old style on Anne Noir because I like the stark black & white style with no bells and whistles. What do you think...quiet simplicity or bells and whistles?

PORTRAIT ON GREY...

Here is another treasure I came across on Google. Sadly I don't know who the artist is but I love this portrait of a tattooed woman the illumination...colors and patterns are so subtle but wonderful...it just draws me in.

SONGS FOR A SINKING SHIP...


I saw this online and it made me laugh...I wonder how many albums she sold. I know I could dance to that tune sometimes.
