Some of the photos are absolutely priceless.<br />BTW, I loved what you wrote on your profile about yourself. Good or bad, seems like you always had the zest for life.

Seriously, they are nothing short of art pieces. <br /><br />1972 is a very very long time ago, and i am sure you would have gone back to those days while looking at the paintings. Now, try painting without the pot and alcohol, lets see how it goes. Keep posting your painting here. Loved them.TCZBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447730465256670305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-10617107343889118672009-06-16T22:39:56.595-04:002009-06-16T22:39:56.595-04:00Thanks for sharing B&B.

You are a very talented man, would like to see you painting again, but realize it's very hard to go back and pick up those old dreams/passions/whatevers. You have accomplished a great deal and on top of that, you rescued all three of you. And you managed to keep a sense of humor -- not always an easy task!<br /><br />Have a good week.Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-71965257575312430122009-06-16T22:19:03.597-04:002009-06-16T22:19:03.597-04:00They say you can't go home again.

I could not enlarge it.<br /><br />The Butler and Bagman painting is a hoot.<br /><br />It is always nice to a trip back to where we have been, even if we don't like what we see. But you know you had some good times stuck in there somewhere.

The more pot than alcohol is kind of fascinating - I keep looking at it and thinking cupcake, muffin, basket - yup, must be a pot painting! And the last one has the good cowboy with his guitar walking away from the maelstrom.

And the paintings really show the turmoil you were experiencing at the time, especially the skeleton (inner self?) drowning or half buried in that strange sea of stuff (alcohol, issues?).

Maybe it finding the film was karma and the time has coming to take up oil painting once again and see where it leads. Maybe you should get some canvas, buy a few paints and see what develops. Paint some alligators. I bet there's interest and talent there!=DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241402645242821612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-3194744124702164112009-06-16T14:06:55.820-04:002009-06-16T14:06:55.820-04:00whoa, its amazing to see who we used to be, are (i...whoa, its amazing to see who we used to be, are (in the now is apparently very important and therefore the hardest to achieve) and wanna be...thanks for the tour.b&g girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132245728775225752noreply@blogger.com
