"Neon, Hosting Pharaoh"
18x24 oil on canvas
available in giclee $235.
also available in prints, mugs and t-shirts



This painting feels like Neon Blue hosted a party for a disgruntled Pharaoh. Never up to real fun and always berating any attempt to be light hearted. Poor Neon Blue, she is distressed but still knows in the back of her mind there is a better crowd to hang with.

This song I wrote a few years back seems appropriate for this painting.

"Finding My Eyes"

You think that you know everything...
But your face
your face
postpones the day.
Hidden behind shadows
of restless beings
of midnight scrapings
of an eminent emotional decay.

What are the chances
of a brighter future here?
A cyclone could not interrupt
such a future.

Your face
your eyes
know everything
or at least that's what you say.

I contemplate the hour
and design the art of superstition.
If I wield around these foretold measures
will you let me live?
OK?

You curse the smile
Your jealousy is so easily
provoked.
If I were to exclude
such transparent conspiring
I would never know.
But your eyes see everything
or so they say.

Little heartbeats of adoration
you swim around and lust for them.
Unmeasured words
Yet you're so certain
that every syllable
though unkind
sets afloat some sort of cure.

Chorus:
Oh hero
if we could only be like you
Oh hero
you haven't got a clue.
