Ends

I found this invitation used as a bookmark in an old book at my parents house.
"The wintry day, descending to its close,
Invites all wearied nature to repose,
And shades of night are falling dense and fast
Like sable curtains closing o'er the past.
Pale through the gloom the newly fallen snow
Wraps in a shroud the silent earth below
As though 'twere mercy's hand had spread the pall,
A symbol of forgiveness unto all"

-OF Whitney



"And right action is freedom
From past and future also.
For most of us, this is the aim
Never here to be realised;
Who are only undefeated
Because we have gone on trying"

-TS Eliot

Christmas

"They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night"

some paintings

here's a few paintings. If anyone wants to buy one I want to get rid of the other 4. Cheap.

"Remember man that thou art made of clay
and in this world thou hast not long to stay"

a painting

here's my first painting of the semester and the only one I have a photo of. It's somewhat religious because the man has a slight halo. He's preaching or something. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Bob the builder visited my site.

old buildings

We explored the town of Eureka and Tintic, which are very old but still lived in. This last picture is of the inside of what once was "the Star Theatre". The roof is gone now. Most of the buildings were locked. The 2nd picture of the landscape explains why I love the west so much.
"But home is beneath the great big skies
And the northern pains and otherwise
open spaces,
nowadays there aren't as many".

my studio

this is where I paint.

on leaving Wyoming

On leaving Jackson I passed a little place that had this old gas station left over. And then I hit the deserty part of western Wyoming which was beautifully vacant (rte 189) Lots of options for people worried about the urban sprall. And then there's been this ghost in my apt. He looks fake, and he is.
