...Elaine ~~ Hi there, nice to "meet" you!<br /><br />I understand how you feel. I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about his acting or his painting. Both are, as you said "okay". <br /><br />We watched "Apaloosa" last night on HBO. It, too, was just okay. I think co-star Ed Harris could act Viggo off the stage though, but in this movie both were less than stellar, IMO. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-77714717455548292212009-08-02T15:35:19.937-05:002009-08-02T15:35:19.937-05:00I found this blog when I searched for IMAGES of Vi...I found this blog when I searched for IMAGES of Viggo Mortensen's paintings. I remember them from some movie he was in years ago with Gwenyth Paltrow. At the time, I didn't know they were his, and thought to myself, "some poor art director/set dresser is letting those great paintings rent for next to nothing for exposure". Ha.<br />Mr. Mortensen's work isn't so viewable on the internet anymore. Leads one to wonder why he is seemingly so precious about his work. None are for sale, and only viewable when he has a show. <br />Don't get me wrong, I think he's talented although I think his talent has been a teensy bit overrated by those besotted with him for his movie star looks and celebrity status. Same for his poetry. It's okay.<br />Not great. <br />I just appreciate that he has interests and concerns bigger than the movies he makes. (Loved Lord of the Rings. So much fun. Peter Jackson, one brave, determined man. Bravissimo.)<br />People will be angry that I don't profess to worship him and his work, but I guess I can live with that.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918795820061898333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-84015439958090010392009-05-30T07:50:05.833-05:002009-05-30T07:50:05.833-05:00AN ~~~ Same here - I'm learning all the time. ;-)...AN ~~~ Same here - I'm learning all the time. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-43282353111624982992009-05-30T07:49:33.285-05:002009-05-30T07:49:33.285-05:00Moonkiss - thank you - I'll return the favor - don...Moonkiss - thank you - I'll return the favor - don't think I've seen your blog either. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-86795099337874070202009-05-30T07:48:34.809-05:002009-05-30T07:48:34.809-05:00Neith ~~~ Hi! and thank you kindly.Neith ~~~ Hi! and thank you kindly.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-68531988958435096322009-05-30T07:48:11.558-05:002009-05-30T07:48:11.558-05:00Shawn ~~~ It's a very nice one isn't it!

Very few hard angles in this chart, outside of the Mars / Pluto square. I think that this square acts as the straw that stirs the drink...how he challenges himself.Shawn Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290241481890970687noreply@blogger.com
