Bad things DO happen so you might as well try to laugh when they do. This painting was done after a long-time friend shocked me and really let me down. I felt she "threw me under the bus" Only figuratively, fortunately. But it hurt. I felt like I was Mr. Bill.

I have an old wooden ruler that says "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." I often think what a utopia we would live in if everyone really practiced this. Whenever I feel someone has "done me wrong" my first thoughts are "man I hope there is some Karma out there." Then my second thought is if there is such a thing as Karma then what did I do to have this mess heaped on me? But I fully realize I am not always blameless and have created some bad Karma in my life. And feeling sorry for one's self and trying to get even aren't really very healthy or productive.

Anyway, back to this painting. I always loved the Saturday Night Live skits with Mr. Bill. I would guess that most of us have felt like life was using us as Mr. Bill sometimes when our feelings are hurt or situations are out of our control. That's life and if we can find humor in it, humor heals the soul.

I idealize the paintings of the late artist Charles Bell. I would have loved to have met him. First of all I would have a million of the technical "how did you do this, what's your favorite brush" kinds of questions but also he just had to have been a fun person to be around. His paintings are filled with humor and happy colors. My husband and I got to see several of his paintings in person in New York. You can't help but feel joy in your heart and pure amazement when you see what he has put on canvas.

I think Charles Bell would like the "Oh No!" painting. I hope everyone who sees it enjoys the humor and has warm memories of the times they watched the old "Mr. Bill" skits on SNL.

Have you ever had a piece of clothing that you loved so much that you wore it until it was absolutely thread bare? Or maybe it was a favorite couch that made you feel so comfortable you used it until the threads on the corners were all that was holding in the stuffing. I think something that has become thread bare is a true sign of love.

My Grandmother made all of my clothes as I was growing up. Sometimes I was embarrassed that I didn’t have any "store bought" clothes. But I loved all the wonderful dresses, skirts, blouses and pants she made for me. When they did get thread bare, parts of them would end up in my quilts. I love looking at my quilts and seeing my mothers old dress, my father’s pajamas and my old blouse. I have one quilt that is just my old wool skirts.

My Grandmother, Nanny, was always busy. She told me she didn't understand people who got bored. She loved to sew, garden and cook. And she did every task with love in her heart. I have so many of her creations. One old quilt is so completely thread bare, but I can’t part with it. It has bits of all my family’s clothes that I can remember them wearing till they were ready to be used in another way. If you could love someone until they were thread bare. I would love Nanny until she was but a small scrap of material. I have her photo behind my desk and never get tired of looking at her smiling face.

This painting "Thread Bare" not only reminds me of Nanny and all the spools of thread she went through in her sewing, but speaks to me of loving someone or something as long as you can hold on to it. Thread bare is just another way of saying cherished.

My Mother and Grandmother not only never wasted a scrap of material but they also had a great sense of humor. After my Mother upholstered a love seat, Nanny took the scraps and made me a pant suit. (Matching jackets and bell bottoms were the thing in the 70’s). There is a photo somewhere of me in my pant suit sitting on the loveseat. It reminds me of "Where’s Waldo". It was my living room camo.

My wishes for you are many "Thread Bare" things and people to cherish.
