She Walks in Beauty

I just woke from a 4 hour nap and now I'm ready to paint again.

I thought of my inspirations... beauty, me, Jojo, life, pets, love...romance, intimacy... and I remembered a favorite poem, one I always thought was sexy because it was sooo romantic...
By Lord Byron (George Gordon) 1788–1824 Lord Byron (George Gordon)
She walks in beauty, like the night
   Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
   Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
   Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
   Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
   Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
   How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
   So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
   But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
   A heart whose love is innocent!


Oh, and did you know I'm painting Jojo?

I wished I was gay...


I was having breakfast at 5am this morning, wishing I was gay. What was happening to me? Desperation?
Let me explain. I was perusing through what turned out to be a gay magazine (I should’ve known from all the rainbow-colored logos scattered on its pages), wondering how I could angle my work to fit the magazine… so I can send them my press release.
Which reminds me, I better send out my press release to somebody, anybody. Ho-kay!

UPDATE:

I have been posting press releases... here's one on Craigslist...

Friday Morning, Rain is calling... call me


Every time in my life I have thought of a new idea, I ran with it! Today, I woke up with just a couple of things on my mind—when am I going to see Jojo again and what on earth am I going to do to get people to attend my art show this August. I only have a few weeks left and to date, I still do not have enough paintings to feature. I got a half finished cat portrait of Cairo (my calico cat who went to cat heaven a few years ago, one I suspect has reincarnated into my cat Happi-Tappi) but I digress… I’m getting hungry again, time to listen to Abraham Hicks on youtube, get my spiritual fix…toodles!

BTW! It’s 8:58 am and I got my new google voice number… call me! (702) 605-2377… my business cards—updated, postcards for the show—updated… I am good… I am sooo good…
