Shameless Self Indulgence

Lily the cat did most of the work.

de la poésie

I have not posted any poetry in a long time. I am not sure why. I guess I thought that it was all too dark or not any good. Here are two from the past few weeks. Routine experience has been interrupted for the time being, causing fruitful days.

2/7/11

You're just a painting now

A song humming in my head

Effervescent

I feel less alone now

Than when I felt you in your bed

Lying still

The magic that I sense

Flies past your lids

Unnoticed

My eyes look out

They are a light house

Waiting

2/22/11

Now it's an ordinary day

of ordinary energy

with all the excitement and quiet

that one normally contains

I don't know other worlds

Not today

Can this be the slow building

of something beautiful?

Is it a serious, monastic

devotion to glazing?

Will this whole result,

one day, gracefully bloom?

When will it snap?

Must it not bend like a river

in order to be living?

Happy Valentines Day

I love you.

You may have noticed that since the commissioned Okemo painting and my mother's cat painting there has only been mixed media and some drawings appearing here. Not for long! I have an idea! I just involves a photo shoot in the beautiful Acton woods and a naked girl....

Somerville Snow and Two Walls Update

Two Walls Between Us

I cheated and looked at a picture to correct the shape of the eyes. The rest was done from memory.

Sometimes it is easier to see things when they are not right in front of you.

Farm Animals, etc.

My friend Phil came over today and we made this video of our painting from a couple of weeks ago. Then we made 9 new paintings.

I had nothing to do with this last one and neither did Phil...it was the ghost of 80 Powder House who painted it!
