Graffiti Elephant

Twilight thought for today, our possesions do not bring peace into out lives.....true, for me memories create far more peace for me, I love the 67-70`s era. The spirit of that time was so good, a lot of my work is influenced by that period. Graffiti elephant is part of my late 60´s work. Graffiti works well in the right places.

Begin

This has been posted for a reason, it is not something I would normally want people to see, but it is part of a project called Begin, and I felt this was apt. Both .hips fractured, reasons unknown......new hips and 4 operations later...I am able to walk..a little unsteady..but I walk. People look at me and say "You don´t look like your ill, why do you need a crutch?" I get fed up with it and would love to show them this, I had to begin to learn the things I could do and will never do again, to adapt to the pain. The operations on the right hip have not been that successful. So people out there appearances can be deceptive, and when you see me soon with my arm strapped up, remember this photo. I can sympathise with Dr House in every way. Happy New Year.

A New Year Begins

Yes you who must leave everything

That you cannot control

It begins with your family

But soon comes round to your soul. (Leonard Cohen)

The first morning of a new year and my twilight hour is taken now waiting for the sun to break on a new day, a new year. I wonder what it will bring for most of us, if it began badly will it continue to do so or if it began well will we have a year of goodness. It´s sad if a year begins badly, although we sometimes have the power to change it, at times it´s impossible or irreversible, and then we have to decide where to go from there. So if your new year began badly, I hope you will find a resolution and those who had a good new year, treasure it.
