An Artist in Love

...and Other Disasters

by Jack Marshall

Overview
Romantic blunders and problems transform into comedy when recalled decades later. For an artist, the adventures of life and love influence his art.
Description
Is falling in love wonderful? Lots of songs say it is. But for me, falling in love was one disaster after another. Now, decades later, as I retell those stories, they seem funny, a slice of human comedy. At the time they didn’t seem very hilarious, but maybe some comedy, or even all comedy, is rooted in misery. Reshaping past disappointments into comedy is a way to cope. Since I also wanted to be an artist, the stories include paintings and drawings which reflect various romantic disasters along with the other catastrophes that occurred simultaneously. I hope these stories give you a few laughs and some interesting pictures to look at.
