GOOD ENERGY

Had that annual reunion with the good young folks of my alumni, and this year Chez came too. Sadly her Ralph wasnt feeling up to it so I hope he feels better now. It was a lovely afternoon sitting on the balcony at Soar Point Pub drinking (my wife was introduced to toffee cider by Laura !), and eating, and it was good to see Neal there too. Sadly Nick didnt make it, never mind, maybe next year, although it has been suggested that we meet up again before Christmas. I believe Mel was going to meet up with the others in the evening but I declined that one. Sometimes age does matter. I have been a member of New Dawn Art Group Facebook site for a little while now (which lead, via an innocent and nice comment from me, to the inevitable, it seems, ending to what I thought was a friendship. Que sera, sera) but now it has just vanished! How does that happen? Good thing I made contacts while it was there. The sculpture is not going too well. Waiting for the clay to become workable is just like watching cricket, if you know what I mean. But the new painting is coming along nicely. I will upload when completed. I have decided that its about time I stopped making art to please other people and make art that pleases me. Thus the figure is making a re-appearance. Well, more to say later. Remember what I keep telling you folks; your thoughts create your future so be carefulwhat you think. Love all and hurt none. oh, and if you ever see Vals Art Diary on Youtube you will have heard this............... " Eat Your Cookies". She is a little crazy, worth a visit. Bye for now.
