Day To Remember
by Bob Martin ~ December 8th, 2006. Filed under: Art, Artist, Culture, Music, Painting.There will be lots written today about John Lennon, his importance etc. I recall the day because it was one of my worst days. I was in bed sick, couldn’t walk and thinking, rather more like promising myself, that I would stop fooling myself. I hated pretending to be a “business man”. The randomness of Lennon’s death was a kind of wake up alarm.
I hit the snooze button.
A day or two later when I could walk a little, my kid had this great idea and asked if I would limp down to her school and teach drawing to her 6 grade class. I had never done this before, but it connected for me. The alarm was still ringing.
I hit the snooze button.
There were tons of alarms and clues and eventually I woke up. Sure sometimes I think about the time I wasted not painting, being around artist. Those feelings quickly fade as soon as I pick up a brush.
Thanks Kid.

Great painting. Personally, I like paintings where a human face is depicted and this one is especially beautiful. I ran into your blog on seeing your response to my comment on Art and Perception. I know that I will like your blog going forward…
