Decades ago, I learned the hard way not to be an “early adaptor.” Now I can be content to let others do the de-bugging; the corollary to that is always to be somewhat behind the curve (“9:30 in Newfoundland”). So only recently did I stumble on Pinterest. Beyond its obvious art source appeal, the app immediately satisfied my fondness for organizing; embarrassing to admit now, I maintained my own vertical files in university until the mass of paper overwhelmed my bedroom. Digital storage saved the day, but that is another story. I can sit at home and sate my eyes with scads of images on my iPad, while setting up categories to my heart’s content..
Pinterest not only satisfies my psychological storage needs, but even gives me a laugh or two. Recent favourite: someone came across a Tom Thomson and commented that he really deserves to be famous. Note to self: tell Steve Martin to get onto that.
In the spirit of Thomson, my all-time favourite Canadian painter, here is a little (10 x 30) appreciation of sunset on a remote lake.
