The Fallen 1

August 4th, 2010I’ve decided to make some small knife paintings and these are the beginning on them. I “love” doing these. After doing portraits, it’s so soothing….
The frames , which are cedar, I’ve made myself and are from my neighbour Earl Corey’s stash of “junk” as his wife Joan would say.
That’s not how Earl and I see it though 
Framed they measure about 8×8 inches.

My Red Streaked Hair for Red Fridays!
April 18th, 2010I know that I’m a little too old to be wearing “pink” hair! But they’re just “some” pink stripes! Actually, since my hair is turning white, the red turns out to be pink. Maybe you’re just not too old to do anything. It’s like a saying I have on my back car window…”age is mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it don’t matter”. I don’t mind my hair and it certainly comes up in many a conversation. (it’s better than taking about my health, which comes up quite a bit too 
I started putting some pink just because I could. You know there is a liberating thing about doing something just because you can. Try it sometime. Pick something you don’t have to do, but just want to do and with a glad heart….just enjoy the process.
However, although I started with that reason, it is not so as to why I’m continuing. Through contacting the forces and various people involved with the military, I heard that there was something called Red Friday. It’s a place on the internet with a lot of military information, but also a sort of movement or quiet social statement that involves wearing red every Friday.
So my way of participating is to wear red in my white hair, until all of the troops have come home. No one really knows this. It’s just my own private support.
