Quote of the day:
You see you can't do it, you can't collect, mount and stuff words and hang them
like trophies. However pretty the display case, a butterfly pinned against
a card is not the same as a butterfly in flight. |
Today I went into town to
buy some "posh" clothes for my many dinner club events, and for a change I
was rather successful. I resisted the pull of Meadowhall and went to the
boutiques around Eccleshall Road instead, which was a good idea. I found
this one shop where I had never been where the prices were really great:
40 pounds instead of 345, like in some places... I bought one dress, and one top. I still need a decent pair of trousers to go with the top, and shoes of course! Shoes are always a problem. I also bought 2 vintage dresses that I want to customize. Just have to figure out when. Clothes shopping depresses me so. Even IF I am willing and able to spend some cash, I just can't find anything I like. And I refuse to spend a lot of money on clothes that are just a compromise. For example you would think that it is possible to go down to the shops and buy a pair of trousers that are not black or mud-coloured, right? No! Far from it: ALL trousers in this world are black, bleak and boring. I'd take anything: red, green, even blue. But they do not exist! How frustrating!
It's been a year now...
...since the arrest.
Here are some of the
paintings I have done recently. They are from a series I call "Care".
