Chillin'

A high school classmate posted a picture of himself in front of a work by his artist wife. He asked us to help him name the work. My response below.

"s-ENT-i-ENT" (Lord of the Rings nerdy reference).

Actually the photo of yourself Chillin' (hey, another possible title) is itself a work of art--art within art, if you will. Yes, the relief with its blue, brown, black, and white is a timeless evocation of winter, and if you were just gazing at the trees it wouldn't be adding much. But you're holding a smartphone, which places you in the 2010-2020 decade for anyone looking at this 100 years from now.

Also, you're ignoring the beauty of the art and staring at a tiny screen--a tableau of our time (hey, yet another title).

Well, enough of this---gotta get back to answering my texts.

I have to ask him who the photographer was. If it was his wife, wouldn't it be something if she created the wall art so he could be photographed in front of it. The photo was the intended work! OK, back to reality, he couldn't have married someone that smart....
