Is it all types of soup that are "OT" or only specific types of soup?  Just curious, as far as I know I have no soup to discuss at this time or in the near future! tongue.gif

I have a great tomato soup recipe and it's on a web page, so does that make it Off or On or just soup?  harhar.gif

Of course, we could have a good discussion on Tomato Torrent, of which I know nothing other than I like the page and the name.  eusa_dance.gif

Another kind of "soup"....

In looking at my atlas, I see that it's the Fox River that is nearby, not the Rock. I don't know where the Rock River is I guess. I thought it was in Illinois - Rockford maybe? ...and that it also is in Wisconsin somewhere. I do know that the communities along the western shore of Lake Winnebago are in the Fox River Valley, but thought that river went farther west from there. Oh well...

Perhaps the whole thing was a cleverly contrived hoax!

Rivers change course every few hundred years or so.
But then soup is a course...but it can be a curse of course...'specially the cold kind.
Groaner.gif I'm so sorry.

But seriously folks...here is a modern day pointillist.
This guy is amazing.


He's just souper!  biggrin.gif

Actually I used to paint in the pointilist style many years ago. Despite the time it took to create a picture, I found it very relaxing back then.
Haven't picked up a brush in ages.

Here are two of my paintings that are hanging at my folks' house. I sold all but one other.

I really liked both of these Krissel; especially the buggy!  Feels like Amish country again!

A lot of yourself in these, Kris.
The style looks really original and unique and the framing is perfect.
I hope your students paid attention and learned something.

Thanks guys.  The first one is of my sister and the second one did win a few awards in art shows.

Someday maybe I'll get my act together and put up a website with my etchings and jewelry.

Someday...
