Today is Henri Rousseau’s birthday. We Rhinos like his style. It seems immediate, direct, a very personal approach. No invisible formality or expectation.
M. Rousseau was self-taught, which is Very Rhino. We only gravitate to situations or academies where things keep moving. A healthy glance at M. Rousseau’s work and you know he was not trying to please anybody else; he was doing his own thing.
What other ‘thing’ is there to do?
Your Inner Rhino 
After all, what wild thing is more noble than Rhino?

I’m getting old, Bill! Thought I’d passed along my thoughts days ago. Just love your “takes” on artists styles. Botero, now Rousseau. I’m sure there were others! I love the series, but especially love this one! Part of it is a fondness for m. Rousseau, but even more is how you’ve absolutely nailed the spirit, yet still made it entirely yours. You are wonderful! And the art ain’t bad, neither! s
