The Voyage of Life

As you’ve probably gathered, the performing arts is my artistic medium of choice.  I’m not all that knowledgeable about the visual arts, but that’s not going to stop me from sharing my favorite paintings. 

The regenerate Mrs. introduced me to Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School, which I really like.  My favorite is Cole’s The Voyage of Life series, especially the third one, Manhood.

Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

Childhood

Youth.  Ah, idealism.  Those were the days….

Manhood. This is where I live.  As do most of the men I’ve counseled.

Old Age

Yeah, I know.  I’m a fan of some pretty blatantly allegorical art.  Sue me.
