Must wash trumpet today: November 2013
http://thesumoftheparts-music.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Must wash trumpet today. Friday, November 29, 2013. Hubris. Contrition. Neither word really grabs me. The first reeks, not only of its meaning, but of John Howard. It seemed to be his favourite word. That and the inappropriately used 'fulsomeness'. The second reeks of insincere regret and apology. And my regrettable behaviour sometimes. And of apologetically insincere governments. And of . “I'm sorry you feel that way about what I said”. Not a real apology at all. But back to Dave (ever so briefly). ...

News and views on art, music, food and life 'Down Under' (or 'On Top' depending on your perspective). Monday, August 9, 2010. My latest portrait (well until the one I did today) - Monica from the best gelato shop in town. The well kept houses 2-3 story, some white but mostly soft creams and browns with orange tile roofs without flower gardens all concrete and tile with big pot plants. So I swing home to a day at the easel happy with the rhythm of my life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Human time do...

News and views on art, music, food and life 'Down Under' (or 'On Top' depending on your perspective). Monday, August 23, 2010. A portrait of friend Franca. I am getting faster and a little better. The need for speed is to keep the cost down, nobody has any money to spend on art here and I don't want an apartment full of paintings! Three and a half hours half an hour prep = Four hours total. August 24, 2010 at 4:07 PM. Too many. Sculpture? August 24, 2010 at 11:41 PM. Hi Dave, I have been taught that hone...

News and views on art, music, food and life 'Down Under' (or 'On Top' depending on your perspective). Friday, June 4, 2010. I'm back in France but not for long, maybe two weeks. I've fallen in love with the small town and people of Roccasecca where I stayed during the exhibition and will head back there to find a place to live. I sold my sculpture to the Locanda Del Castello a beauitiful old hotel, family run and who have become very good friends. The title is 'Feb. 1944 We died. For What! I've had many ...

artmusicfood: Talent
http://artmusicfood.blogspot.com/2010/08/talent.html
News and views on art, music, food and life 'Down Under' (or 'On Top' depending on your perspective). Friday, August 13, 2010. So do you need talent to be an artist (or anything) or can you make it through sheer hard work? And does it matter? Perhaps tapping in to your creativity is something you need talent for but I think you can learn that also. So why are artists considered special? Different than a good plumber? Loving your work as usual, the portraits are really cool mate! August 14, 2010 at 4:08 PM.

http://artmusicfood.blogspot.com/2010/08/lone-wolf.html
News and views on art, music, food and life 'Down Under' (or 'On Top' depending on your perspective). Monday, August 2, 2010. Being completely alone in a foreign country where I don't speak the language hasn't been easy but I wonder how much can be attributed to the residue of 42 years of relationships. I have become used to a shared experience with partner and children and now the joy and pain are completely mine (and yours now! Have lovely week,. August 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM. Have a more lovely week.
