THE LAST STRAW by Angelo Lopez, 16 x 20, Acrylic on canvas I have always loved puns. When I was a kid, I loved watching Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and all the great movie comedians of the 1930s and 1940s. Those many hours of watching classic comedies have instilled in me a lifelong love of corny humor and puns. I do whimsical paintings paintings that appeals to children and adults who like to look at artwork that makes them smile. If you are hard at work and want a moment to destress, you can look at this painting and be reminded that whatever you are stressing about won't last and that happier days are ahead.
