Romare Bearden is one of my favorite painters, he and Alma Thomas always are neck in neck in my favorite book.  Rommie makes Yummy because last night I walked into some one's house and saw some of his stuff hanging on their walls.  This made me think how one artist can inspire many people in different ways.  My mini epiphany also came after having a deep thoughtful conversation with a 10 year old boy on Kanye West, and how his favorite song was also my favorite song, "Family Business"  we both agreed this is the best song he has released to date.  Though I was intrigued that the same song meant a great deal to us in our own respective ways I realized Rommie is the same way.  I deeply love his water colors.  Their are things about his life that startle and fascinate, like his devotion and affection for cats but his soulful artistic style makes up for it all.
