  4. Thanks, all.

    OF COURSE the red paint did not cover the sea-green, but I ended up loving the end effect--sort of Pompeii meets Matisse.

    STEF: No, no ladder, I'm just off balance because I'm wrapping the sheet around me.

  5. Nice lamp.





















    RAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHWWWW!!!! Comment binge!
    (Stop posting interesting things)

    The way you're holding the sheet/ bent head/ posture reminds me of 3 things:

    Jesus carrying the cross,

    an electric guitarist rocking out, and

    a William Blake painting, (not a specific one, just in general).

    And the red catching light or eating it! And the inversed waves that now look like pretty flames! And the line of white billows!

    If I was a painter . . .

  6. MGT: Sometimes a binge is a good thing. As here.
    I have missed you and your comments.
    How not? So alive!
    (Are you getting your papers done?)

    Everything you say fits, but of course I didn't think of any of that when I was shooting this series.
    I like how meaning is simply in things. Or so we see it.

    Now I must crawl back into the red so dark it's black and get some sleep. This all started because about 19 hours ago I couldn't sleep.
