Paint by Numbers |

I wanted to paint a picture some day that people would stand before and forget that it was made of paint. I wanted it to creep into them like a bar of music and mushroom there like a soft bullet. –O. Henry, The Complete Works of O. Henry

Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Alfredo Rosado, from Chicago, assigned to Patrol Squadron 10, paints a mural in the squadron’s hangar at Naval Air Facility Misawa, in northern Japan. The squadron recently began a six-month deployment at NAF Misawa in support of U.S. 7th Fleet

I didn’t know O. Henry had an artistic license as well as a poetic license. Although I went to Wiki to see if any art works were mentioned, I didn’t find any there. I did find that he lead quite an interesting life.

He is an interesting guy. I had forgotten about him until I saw that quote. My reaction: Oh Henry. . . said that. . .

Feeling old today (but good). The CO of VP-10 the Red Lancers joined the Navy a year before I retired from VP-10.
