OK...this might be fun...I need some help. My latest art review referred to my painting as "whoopie"...I am going to play on this and am in the next two months attempting to do some "little whoopies" i.e. fast paintings that will sell for under $100.00. I am hoping you can help me with the premise for these. I want to include some words on most...I am sure there is a literary term for what I want that I do not know.
Marnie has already started sending me some lines from things. They need to be short...and ones that I can even take just one or two words from to come up with a fun and funky pic.
Here are a few examples
Laugh Kookaburra Laugh....
I wish I may, I wish I might
Laugh out loud
Singing hungrily
Sometimes she be laughin when there ain't no joke.
I see the moon
Gotta find my corner of the sky
dont worry....be happy
I can shorten them if they are too long.
So...anyone care to help me out....the more the better.
Jackie mom to Em 26 and "whoopie" artist

Little Miss Magic, whatcha gonna be? (Jimmy Buffett)
Fruitcakes in the kitchen (Jimmy Buffett)
Let the sun shine in, face it with a grin (The Flintstones??)
Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun (Barney and Friends)
Picture yourself in a boat on the river (The Beatles and Elton John)
Or quotes...
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams (Eleanor Roosevelt)
If you can't stand the fire, get out of the kitchen (Theodore Roosevelt)
Success is a marathon, not a sprint (Unknown)

These are great resources...while searching on one of them I found these lines from The Prophet which seem to belong on Uno Mas...What do you think?
Jackie
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
The Prophet, 'Children'

The old commercial: Avoid the Noid Thoreau: Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes. Whatever it is....I didn't do it. fess up temptation alley times a wastin paddlin up the wrong creek Check out this site: www.idiomsite.com/ |

What about beatles song lyrics?
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
We all live in a yellow submarine
You're Going to Lose That Girl
Help! I need somebody,
Help! Not just anybody,
That'll be the day
Or..........
Hard-headed woman
Dontcha make my brown eyes blue
witchy woman
bad hair day
Dream a little dream of me
hold that thought
love hurts
makin whoopie
the light fantastic
One is never too old to yearn.
Author: Italian Proverb
hope springs eternal
A friend is one before whom you may think aloud
For Jackie's fairies:
Good luck befriend thee, Son; for at thy birth The fairy ladies danced upon the hearth.
Author: John Milton
Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.
Fairy Tale: A horror story to prepare children for the newspapers
Fairie lights
Dance the night away
dance fever
dance with the devil
put on your dancin shoes
dance like there's no tomorrow
same old song and dance
The world is more like it is now then it ever has before.
Dwight Eisenhower
"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."
Life is a terminal disease.
It's all a pigment of your hallucination
Why be normal?
Never go into a hug off balance
Be fruit fly and multiple
I'm serious; it was a joke.
Hairy Kiwi: Death by fruit.
Everything takes longer than you think.
You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely
Honk if you like peace and quiet.
Always remember that you're unique . . . just like everyone else.
