In Dreams

November 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

My inspiration is flagging. I need to finish more paintings but feel drained. I grope around in the corners of my mind, desperately looking for it… and I listen to this song.

Roy Orbison. What a talent.

Mariza

November 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Mariza was in Denver last night. It was a real treat to hear her sing songs filled with beautiful longing and sadness.

She sang one of my favorite fados, “Primavera.”

At one point she had to ask a person in the front row what on earth they were doing with their cellphone, anyway.

Pea-hen’s Idée Fixe

November 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

In a rush I remembered, vividly, something I regret from over 30 years ago. A petty childhood cruelty with no reason behind it.

I see no way to make amends at this point- it was more a sin in thought than a sin in deed- but still it troubles me.

At times like this I sort of wish I was Catholic and could seek absolution.

I’m not, and I can’t. Instead, I post this little painting.

Pea-Hen's

“Pea-Hen’s Idée Fixe,” 6″ x 6″, oil on linen.
