I love that quote! I also loved the photo I painted this from. It’s another one from Lisilk at WetCanvas. Li takes the most incredible photos!
About Groucho Marx
Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx was the wisecracking central figure of the Marx Brothers comedy team, waggling his eyebrows in movies like Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera. He was born in New York in 1890. His mother organized the family into a vaudeville act, which didn’t become successful until Groucho began ad-libbing jokes and insults. In the forties and fifties, he hosted the wildly successful radio and TV quiz show You Bet Your Life. He died in 1977.
Lovely painting. Those bikes are adorable and I sure wish I could ride one along the shore right now.
What a great quote! cool painting beth.
What cute little bikes! And wonderful nature elements to complement them. I figure the bike’s owners are stealing a few moments down on the beach. Great quote, too!
Beautiful painting Beth!!! Looks like a nice relaxing bike ride down to the beach! The colors are gorgeous. I love the detailing, especially the tires. ~Sophia
