art that got me banned – part 1

First of all, I’m a delight. Second: “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is…fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” – FDR

In 2024 my husband and I learned we have a painting with provenance.

Not to be dramatic, but lemme say that one more time. The snippet of art you see here comes with a pretty interesting dash of provenance. Along with that, in some interesting ways, it’s tied to a significant part of U.S. history. Just maybe not in a way one would call conventional.

The whole family thought it would be a fun idea to tell the story of this painting, then we collectively agreed that I would take the responsibility of getting it out into the world. So I did.

What happened next will astound you…

Every platform where I shared the image and story put me in a digital timeout. Upon my return I tried once more, and the same platforms removed the posts/images, giving me a stern warning. Thinking I’d be smart and post just a small part of the full painting, the bots found me (yet again) and took those posts/images down as well.

So in today’s writing, which is kind of a cliffhanger, you get a wee prologue. Tomorrow I’ll share a bit more – that is…if nothing too odd happens once this rolls into other people’s timelines.

With that I’m off to enjoy the day.

Much love,
