Painting Again

Painting again. (with some Trepidation....)
I will try to summarize my thoughts for you dear reader on Thalo blue.

Painting almost every day
Mostly on a ladder, High and scared
but getting better with my left hand
Scrapping, Primer, Exterior Semi Gloss

Baseballs Opening Day was April 1st.
Aprils Fools
I was throwing a change up.

Hiding in plain sight, pushing the subterfuge as subject
"Grand Confusion, Grand Illusion, Grand Contusion."
A yankee tradition, maybe of giving bad directions,
"you cant get there from here,etc. on a fools errand.

Obfuscation, Camouflage
Starting Points
The visual point of Confusion
Following patterns, Printing
Clues in constellation like formations and faces in stone.
Trails, Roads, "Centerline", Skid marks, First tracks, Moguls
Trees as explosions, Double images

I d forgotten the use of flowers, planting annuals with the deadheads.
It wasn't for their beauty, it was to be closer to you my muse.
My hands in the Dirt.
You came to me in daydreams.
at first a land o' lakes princess in the clouds
a psychedelic fantasy
So strange I believed it to be true.

It was written on the back of the grocery list, from the money you gave me.
It's funny the things you do, waiting for the paint to dry...

The Clouds came in and gave us their love,
The Lilacs sang out in relief
from the dry and dusty warm week of spring
