Jiminy!!! gouache on black. 8x 11. 2nd Disney feature film created!
Wow- Pinocchio is 83 years old on Feb 7th! As you are aware I'm a fan - lol, I think I say this with each Disney movie-but some more so than others. It's been great watching all the remakes! I prefer the Disney classic over the new Disneys version. This film has many lessons on life - if heeded -you should be o.k. Listen to your conscience... moderation, determination & faith. The movie did not do well its first release because of the war, it did better every time after & has since been said to be one of the greatest movies ever made - I concur.
The scene where Pinocchio smokes a cigar & turns green - Thankfully - the same thing happened to me many moons ago! I stole a (Dimauria (?) not sure of spelling) cigarette from my grandma & snuck to my room, sat by the window to smoke... One long puff and I was SICK. I still remember it!! I sure I turned green, my head spinning, gagging accompanied with instant regret. Thank you Lord, as I've known many who struggle with a serious 3 packs a day, deadly addiction. Guess what- I NEVER tried another cigarette, ever. I have tried skinny cigars, but was not too thrilled about them either . Yes, I've smoked several joints - cannabis has never made me feel sick - quite the opposite - so it must be what's in cigarettes, I have no desire to ever try again. I've always remembered that feeling when watching Pinocchio - I think it's good for children to witness. The new Disney version - with ALL the alcohol & adventure park (?) I thought was too much, it would only confuse little ones, or entice.
I've already painted several Pinocchio, it's the 2nd classic Disney feature film ever made- and what an incredible follow up after Snow White. You should watch the classic & compare it to the new version - much the same but different - which do you prefer? Watching Disney in order - I noticed something else - there are so many tiny hidden 'facts & images in Disney movies... I noticed in Snow White, Doc exclaimed "Jiminy!!" : *An expression of surprise or annoyance.
I wonder how many movies the expression will be used - I know it's also in Peter Pan. Let's not forget the classic song- When you wish upon a star... What will you wish for, the next time you are glancing at the stars?
I don't wish, I pray.
My daily prayer: Thank you Lord for your continued patience & love.
Next Saturday - Fantasia!! Jiminy!! - it really is my all time favourite! lol.
I have no clue what I'll paint - a work of art, of course - I'm excited.
