Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 25

So, apparently yesterday was Father's Day. Not something that surviving-parent-less hermits are generally prone to tracking. Nor something that sons of hermits are particularly good at noting, either. But it does seem to be something that girlfriends of sons of hermits are aware of, and so yesterday was confiscated from me. (But the food was good)

Back now, so let's get started on the new week with Gil Elvgren's lovely lady featured in Red, White, And Blue (Red, Hot, And Blue)* from 1966 -

While technically nothing is shown, the only thing worn by the model in this week's lovely Gil Elvgren painting is soap suds. To be on the safe side, we're posting Bubbling Over, from 1951, in our Back Room for adult content.

As always with Elvgren's work, the painting is lovely - but don't take my word for it.

My apologies, yet again.
Current constraints have kept me considerably more distracted than even my hermit usual, and here we are on Wednesday without yet providing your Monday calendar. This might be more forgivable if i wasn't withholding a lovely Gil Elvgren painting in the process.

This week's painting is actually a repainting, recreating an image from 3 years prior - Repainting Of A Perfect Pair from 1947 with a stop in '44 -

On the plus side for you, now i feel all guilty like and i'll wind up doing a feature on Gil Elvgren for repentance.
