About The Artwork

Candice Paluso: Listen, this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but, uh, aren't you guys gonna get really bored out here if society doesn't collapse? Donald Quinelle: I wouldn't worry about that. Wes says society is heading for the big "flush". And we're going to be the ones who are clinging to the rim while everything else goes down. Candice Paluso: Eeew! Sonny Paluso: What're you going to do if things get better? Donald Quinelle: Is the air getting better? Candice Paluso: That's true. Donald Quinelle: The economy? The Middle East? Arts, literature, television, US Presidents improving? Sonny Paluso: Anyone can nitpick. Donald Quinelle: Sonny, name one thing that's gotten better in the last ten years. Sonny Paluso: [Sonny is stumped] Donald Quinelle: See? Candice Paluso: Video games. Sonny Paluso: Video games! There you are. Donald Quinelle: Alright, I acknowledge that. Sonny Paluso: You're not going to die. Donald: They always say that to people who are going to die. Donald Quinelle: Wes says to shoot the radios because without music they lose half their will to fight. Sonny Paluso: You think Wes is God, don't you. Donald Quinelle: No, not God, Just an ordinary man. Maybe a little ahead of his time, but just an ordinary man. Sonny Paluso: Wes is an asshole. Donald Quinelle: Blasphemy! Oh, you'll smoke a turd in hell for that! [Confessing to his wife that he's a hitman] Jack: So you see, I'm not out there committing adultery. I'm out there committing murder. Betty: Oh, thank God! Donald: You shot my gun god damn it! You're not supposed to shoot a person's gun! Oh, now that pisses me off! You know how much one of these cost? Doreen: I never thought I'd be contemplating marriage to a man who owned an automatic assault rifle. Donald: It's not automatic, hon. It's semiautomatic. Automatic weapons are illegal. And why are you using the word "contemplating?" Doreen: I just mean, Donald, you seem so different. Donald: Hey, Frizzer, I'm no different, I'm just armed. Donald: [dressed in a face-obscuring, hooded, fur-lined parka] I feel like a gynecologist for a grizzly bear. [Donald and Jack in a shoot-out to the death] Donald: Jaaaack? Jack: Yeah? Donald: Time out, OK? Jack: Time out? Donald: Time out. Jack: What do you mean, 'time out?' Donald: You're not gonna believe this. I was in a hurry when I left the cabin this morning, and, well, silly me, I got the wrong bullets. Donald Quinelle: This will be like skiing, except for the booby traps. Doreen: I don't believe in surviving. I believe in living. Wes Huntley: Welcome to the new Middle Ages. from 'The Survivors' (1983) Starring John Goodman ("Tear out bad wood. Put in good wood."), Annie McEnroe (Beetlejuice), Jerry Reed (Gator), James Wainwright (Lancer), Kristen Vigard (Amazing Stories: Moving Day), Walter Matthau ("Up yours, Gustafson."), and Robin Williams ("POLICE!!.. Jesus… Help me through this!"). Written by Michael Leeson (Rhoda). Directed by Michael Ritchie (The Golden Child). The Survivors is a 1983 American comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie. It stars Walter Matthau and Robin Williams, with supporting roles by Jerry Reed, Kristen Vigard, and James Wainwright. Actor John Goodman also has a minor role. Walter Matthau (/ˈmæθaʊ/; born Walter John Matthow; October 1, 1920 – July 1, 2000) was an American actor. He is best known for his film roles in A Face in the Crowd (1957), King Creole (1958) and as a coach of a hapless little league team in the baseball comedy The Bad News Bears (1976). He also starred in 10 films alongside Jack Lemmon including The Fortune Cookie (1966), The Odd Couple (1968), The Front Page (1974), Buddy Buddy (1981), JFK (1991), Grumpy Old Men (1993), Grumpier Old Men (1995), The Grass Harp (1995), Out to Sea (1997), and The Odd Couple II (1998). Matthau won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the Billy Wilder film The Fortune Cookie (1966). Matthau is also known for his performances in Stanley Donen's romance Charade (1963), Gene Kelly's musical Hello, Dolly! (1969), Elaine May's screwball comedy A New Leaf (1971) and Herbert Ross' ensemble comedy California Suite (1978). He also starred in Plaza Suite, Kotch (both 1971), Charley Varrick (1973), The Sunshine Boys (1975), and Hopscotch (1980). On Broadway, Matthau originated the role of Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple play by playwright Neil Simon for which he received a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play in 1965, his second after A Shot in the Dark in 1962.

In 1982, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014) was an American actor and comedian. Known for his improvisational skills and the wide variety of characters he created on the spur of the moment and portrayed on film, in dramas and comedies alike, he is regarded as one of the best comedians of all time. Williams began performing stand-up comedy in San Francisco and Los Angeles during the mid-1970s, and rose to fame playing the alien Mork in the ABC sitcom Mork & Mindy (1978–1982). After his first starring film role in Popeye (1980), Williams starred in several critically and commercially successful films including The World According to Garp (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), Patch Adams (1998), One Hour Photo (2002), and World's Greatest Dad (2009). He also starred in box office successes such as Hook (1991), Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), The Birdcage (1996), Good Will Hunting (1997), and the Night at the Museum trilogy (2006–2014).

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
