I paint...and that is what I did for a while this afternoon. I pulled my last creation from the fall off of the living room wall, carried it down to the studio in the basement and covered over it with a coat of cream. Then stood back, cranked on some very old Genesis and tackled a new piece of work. ( I often go for a Kandinsky type feeling)

Still fresh off the "concert high" from last night, with little sleep and a bit of alcohol still in my bloodstream, I smiled to myself at the conversations I had that evening. One in particular
...was well worth repeating
...over and over again
...thinking...
repeating...
inside my head.
It was conversation with one of the bartenders...(not the tattoo clad one...although he was entertaining as well) where all of those in our newly formed group were involved were speaking our minds, about many different topics, over several hours...yet he spoke his mind...
THOUGHTFULLY.
My brain bounced between anticipation and fantasy as our friendly group continued the discussion, yet ours became more intimate and personal in nature. (Not like SEXUAL or anything, just INTERESTING, EDUCATED CONVERSATION) By the end of the evening we had exchanged "computer connections" ...
wondering deep down inside if either of us would be in contact as promised.
On the way out we said goodbye...he still had a shift to complete but stepped around to the outsdie of the bar
...and then he didn't even give me that usual you're-my-new-best-friend-so-it's-so-harmless-to-be-close-to you- hug
...he gave me a really nice warm body hug...and I knew at that moment that sometime soon...I MUST get another.

So my painting today turned out much different than those in the past. It is Young, Colorful, and holds Promise.

Not a Picasso or Kandinsky however.
I LOVE NEW FRIENDS

"Well some people try to pick up girls
They get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso

The girls would turn the colour of a juicy avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado"
-David Bowie
