Maicey does the pumpkin patch. She had new boots and it was rainy so she wasn't too excited to walk around in the mud and rain. She did pick out two big pumkins and found some little guords.

CROWS by Renie Britenbucher 2010

Description
A group of crows have gathered in the deep, richly colored sunset.

This is an original art acrylic painting done on stretched canvas. The painting extends around the sides, so that you can hang it, right out of the box. No framing is necessary, unless you choose to do so. The sizing is 20" high x 10" wide. It would be a great addition to your art collection.
Size: 20" x 10" and .75" deep.

Thanks for your interest in my work!

The Red Shoes

 

The girl in the Red Shoes. I saw an ad in a magazine and the gal had red ballet shoes and striped leggings that inspired this paining. It turned out kind of fun. I used paper cut outs of ballet ads and glued them on the canvas then painted over them with a light acrylic. 24"x24" Acrylics on canvas. Mike White 2009

Amanda

Amanda her mom and dad saw Michael Buble in concert. Lots of fun and good music.

Jackie and Splendid 9/18/2010

Must have been a good ride as Jackie has a big smile toward the end of the ride.
The moves of the horse around 4:50 are very technical and difficult.

La Cumparsita - Tango

- Tango's Most Famous Song The cafe 'La Giralda' in Montevideo, Uruguay, occupies a special place in Tango history. It was there in the year 1917 that a young Gerardo Matos Rodriguez gave (anonymously) the music score of a tango he had written to the orchestra of Roberto Firpo to play for the first time. Gerardo was then an adolescent (17 years old) who was barely making it as a student in the faculty of Architecture in Montevideo. Was it modesty? shyness? fear of ridicule? who knows why he wanted to remain anonymous? Firpo only knew that the name of the young composer was Gerardo. It was only later that the full identity of the author was known. He was young, educated, well mannered and sensible. He was also a bit naive. He sold for 20 pesos his rights of authorship to the Breyer publishing house. After some moderate success the composition was forgotten. Seven years later, in 1924, Gerardo was living in Paris and he met Francisco Canaro who had just arrived with his orchestra. That's when he found out that La Cumparsita was a major hit. The tango lyricists Enrique Maroni and Pascual Contursi had added words to the tango and renamed it 'Si Supieras'--If you knew. All of Buenos Aires was hearing, dancing, and demanding to buy the score for the tango that was seemingly everywhere in shows, recordings, and broadcasts. Shortly after, La Cumparsita arrived in Paris where, in the full grip of the roaring 20's, people danced charlestons, shimmys, one-steps, bostons, and when the crowd asked for a tango, they danced La Cumparsita. From Paris La Cumparsita spread to the four corners of the world and has since and forever after become synonymous with Tango.
