Two paintings

Before playing chess with my friend I photographed two paintings in his apartment (see pictures below).

I like both of them and hope that you’ll like them too.

However, I was unable to find out who is the author of the painting “Fire Within”. If any of you know it please tell me.

Some funny quotes.

It is obvious that people in different countries have different opinion about what is a joke or a funny quote. Some people have a sense of humor, others do not have it.

Today I found many so-called funny quotes. I decided to present some of them to you and see if you like them.
