New paintings and regular art updates.
It’s been just too hot and humid. I’m tired out so I’ve eaten far too many ice creams over the past two or three weeks. Even when it rains it stays warm and it’s very humid too. I don’t know when it will let up. I keep sleeping in my chair and I can’t sleep in bed because I either feel cold or hot. Tomorrow it might be thundering. (us brits don’t understand humidity, we call it puthery round here)…..
I was discussing the population explosion fears in the 1970’s with my friend Martha Kennedy here earlier on. She had written a really interesting post about her memories in the 1960’s. I’ll post a link to her post if I can.
But talking about it I remembered doing a collage with ripped up magazine pages. The Earth is at the bottom, a ribbon comes up off the Earth and has a queue or line of people moving up away into space. I can’t remember if they were heading towards the sun or the moon. I think the collage was in landscape mode but my digital canvas is orientated in portrait mode. I’m not sure whether the population had hit 4 or 6 billion… Now it’s over 8 billion. We are like a virus taking over the world….
I tried to post a link to Martha’s blog but it didn’t work sadly.
I post my own art and photos here, but they do take up a lot of space on my WordPress account. Today I tried loading a photo only to be told I didn’t have sufficient space. I had got to 100%! I have had to go in and delete some of my photos to get to 99.4%…just enough to squeeze a few more photos in. I shall try posting my pictures from my media. It does mean that some of my posts now have no images to go with them, but I can’t afford a more expensive plan, so there it is.
The stuff we have in the house. As I start to tidy up, I find my progress impeded by things like toy trains. They seem to be proliferating. I don’t know if they are multiplying or just coming out of the woodwork…. This one had no undercarriage or whatever its called. Marooned on the kitchen cabinet, awaiting a swipe from a cat?
If they multiply any more they will become like star trek tribbles, falling off cupboards and blocking the sink…..
