Housekeeping:
I am so much happier with today’s entry than yesterday’s! I did some reconfiguring of my expectations for the month and really tried to open my mind to the idea of doing a more multi-media A-to-Z, seeing it as an opportunity to try out different things stylistically and in different mediums. Today I opted for acrylic, which I’ve been trying for a long time to figure out — how it fits into my stylistic repetoire, what I find it useful for, etc.
I don’t think I’ve got it totally figure out, but I’m still happy with today’s effort.
Acrylic paints on a 7” x 14” canvas.
Billy Liar’s got his hands in his pockets
Staring over at the neighbor’s, knickers down.
He’s got his knickers down.
Sleeping in until your father’s shaking you down
He’s shaking you down.
As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around
All skulking around.
‘Til your sinews spoil
Will you stay here for a while, dear,
‘Til the radio plays something familiar?
Plays something familiar.
Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame
(His only catch all day)
A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray
And at his ankles laid.
He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls
How she twists and twirls!
‘Til your sinews spoil
Will you stay here for a while, dear,
‘Til the radio plays something familiar?
Plays something familiar.
I like the vibrant colors in your acrylic painting. Weekends In Maine
