Cordelia

No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison.
We two alone will sing like birds i' th' cage.
When thou dost ask me blessing, i'll kneel down
and ask thee forgiveness. So we'll live,
and pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
at gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too-
who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out-
and take upon 's the mystery of things,
as if we were God's spies; and we'll wear out,
in a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones
that ebb and flow by th' moon.
--King Lear to his daughter, Cordelia

Feelin' frassy..

An Attitude toward existence --
a longing to escape from the world of political and social restraints.
To understand from experience, rather than reason.
To find salvation in just being.
To have the penetrating insight to let go and just be free.

a finished thought.


do not got gentle into that good night,
old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
rage, rage against the dying light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
and learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
do not go gentle into that good night.
rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Possibility

"Sometimes, when one tugs at one thing in nature they find it attached to the whole world. "

Colored Pencil and Marker drawing I did for my Boston Architectural College Application. On an 8x10 piece of paper inspired by a choice of three quotes. I chose the quote above. Thinking of making a much larger Oil painting with similar content..

Allie Monday


















Portrait of Allie Monday commissioned by her Husband for their anniversary.

My best mate.




















Sent to my best mate on her birthday to remind her to stay in the pod with the other peas.

This misplaced space


It's raining (I stand staring at the umbrella you hold strong grasped in your grips and long to be close enough that you would hold me so long in your grasp so strong because the space between us is misplaced yet fragile for I could shatter the echo of your whisper with the bat of my eyes I stay still exposed to the dripping wet because I need to know that what you see in the rain and in the moonlight is not what I imagined for only then will I know that when you kiss me it is real) Do you love me or the rain?

Old poem paintings

Fly Away
August third, little bird
shouldn't I be gone by now?
I must have lost my charm by now.
Withered all infatuation away.
I should've kept my distance, dear,
but your smile made heaven oh, so near
and
my heart I let it's armor down
to hand it straight to you.
I gave it up too easily
and now this love is lost on me.
Goodbye,
goodbye,
goodbye,
just please,
leave me safely
by myself.


Wide Eyed and hopeless
If my eyes could open wider
then maybe I would see.
Through the filtered haze
of bluer eyes
maybe i'd see green.
Not just rushing fields of loneliness
from windows of passing trains
who never steer off their tracks
or come long enough to stay.....

Feathers in Her Hair


A Scratchy thought in my Journal becomes inspiration for a self portrait.

Title: Feathers in Her Hair

oil on canvas


Un-Finished Thoughts

Un-finished thoughts taken from my Journal
saved up for Rainy-Days....


"I wish to show you Truth herself; for I have brought her down from above, so that you may see her without her veil, and understand her beauty."



An Attitude Towards Existence


"I'm looking at the moon, But i'll be see you"


"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

Esteban

I made this portrait and somehow, unintentionally, made Damien Rice look like a sleazy, Spanish gangster. Talent that I have? Not sure...

I am calling him Esteban.

New Piece!


All the stitches are in place, now I get to watercolor! Can you tell what it's going to be...?

For Every Stitch Turned A Lesson Learned..

So, I have discovered watercolor, but in my own unique and labor intensive fashion.

First, I sketch out my subject in pencil on my paper.

Then, in a pain-staking and tedious manner I hand stitch every single black line I want in the composition.

Once the sewing in finished, I paint away with the end result being a dreamy watercolor with crisp, black edging! I am in love!

To the Right, my final product..

To the Left, The Mystery Behind my Maddness...

some paintings for your viewing pleasure









here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
of the sky of the sky of the tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or the mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
