"Walk On The Wild Side" series;

This series began in March 2005. There are a total of 8 paintings to this series... so far. This series is the first time I started painting again after moving from Kauai to Big Island. Our house was a fixer upper and in complete shambles. I painted surrounded by unpacked boxes in the living room. I had just ripped out all of the carpet and set a table to paint. I felt like I was going to go nuts if I could not paint. After putting the paint out on my easel I decided to get out a bunch of 18x24 canvas' and just try to play and have fun. I DID! I had a great time. I painted 7 paintings in one week I was having so much fun. I painted another one to add to the 7 in August 2005.
"Neon Blue" is like going to some crazy party where no one knows you yet everyone wants to. She took forever to get ready and when she got there she became secretive... not just to others... but to herself.

She matches a song I wrote once:

"Neon Blue"

1)
She seemed a walking wound
a howl inside the moon
her colors mingled to an empty space
a silent shattered tune
Such plans amoung us
we hardly recognized
our host of bright lights
had passed
and left her prime

Chorus:
Do you want to dance 'til noon
and fly across the moon?
Do you want to dance 'til noon
and follow Neon Blue?

and she cried
Hold me
hold me 'til my final hour
Hold me
hold me through the night

2)
My teeth chatter
a warm day cold
and in a moment
just for comfort
I reach for anything old
and hold it close
all those sentimental tunes
of Neon Blues

Chorus

******************************************************************************
and... this is the poem I wrote, from where I took the song:

"Neon Blue"


She seemed a walking wound
a howl inside the moon
and her colors mingled to an empty space

Such plans amoung us
we hardly recognized
that behind her eyes some place
the days had shattered for Neon Blue

Because sometimes she wore
the most spectacular smile
host of bright lights and famous faces
that she longed to know

My teeth chatter
a warm day cold
and in a moment
just for comfort
I reach for anything old
and hold it close
a sentimental tune - Neon Blue

Once in awhile
beneath the moon
I sit and think about
my dear Neon Blue
All there is about her
that makes my heart smile
I touch far beyond
the moments of weakness
the midnight howl
far beyond the shattered eyes

Do you want to dance 'til noon
of the following day?
Hold captive an admiring audience
of the famed?
My tears glisten
to the tune of the moon
I wish that I could give it all to you
dear Neon Blue
