We Don't Speak to Them!

My comment on the idiocy of prejudice! Anyone can see that, regardless of skin color, one pear is pretty much the same as any other pear! Why can some not see this in the case of human beings?? Oil on canvas

Cute title and nice painting, Betty. I had this idea for a photo using peppers but I haven't done anything about it yet. Perhaps if I tell you the idea you might paint it. I have no doubt you would do a great job of it.

Artist Reply: Thanks, Peter. If you are not going to use it, you can tell me your idea. But - I don't promise to paint it!
