"I Like This Photo"
(and it's digital)

posted it to take attention
away from the piece of work below
I hate it
and there is no equivalent apology to cover it

Was having a conversation with a friend about never self-editing.  Post every piece of work done.  Then I did this.  Not even sure of the beginning anymore.  Kind of thinking somewhere between a bird nest and an egg and a bowl.  It got away from me.  Never did get it back.  Pity.  
Please accept my most humble apologies.
Begging your forgiveness.
blah blah blah

blame it on the moon







the confusion appeared to be 
mostly gender
there were some of us 
who wanted you 
and some of us 
who wanted to be you

we thought you were honest 
until you lied to us
we thought you were fair 
until you cheated on us
we thought you were the law
until you stole from us

then came that confusion 
about your name 
and where you were born
nothing was ever made clear

I just lost interest 
and 
was no longer amused 
when I thought you thought 
you knew my name

"Nub Title"
(nub parenthetical statement)
nub follow up








Have been trying to convince myself to leave these circles/orbs/coronas behind to pursue other images. I just keep being drawn to them. They are what I think about a lot and what comes to mind when I'm in front of a piece of watercolor paper. This started while planning a book that involves spheres. It is difficult to see the project clearly but am sure I will find the way to achieve it. This started as no more than practice while working on that plan.

I have always been nearsighted. Recently had two eye operations that make it possible for me to see distances.  Have been enjoying clouds immensely. Now I'm enjoying the moon. Have never seen the moon so clearly except in photographs. Absolutely amazing is not too strong of a description.

It is making leaving these circles/spheres/coronas behind difficult. So. Please stay with me.
