This falls into the category of My-Art, as it's just the result of a few photos in the neighborhood I took and fun with Photoshop. I leave any interpretation to you, intrepid reader. As I've stated before, the value for me is often much less in the result than in the process. I feel guilty watching TV, even at night, so I have to be doing something else, and that's the raison d'etre of much of my artwork. (The trashpicking, is, at heart, the result of the same kind of thinking. Just walking the dog isn't enough for my A.D.D. self.)
I'm feeling quite the martyr this morning because I had to get up at 5 to drive my friend Michael to the airport--his uncle died and the cheapest flight he could get to go to the funeral was at an ungodly early hour. Of course, he will do the same for me, but right now I'm enjoying basking in a sense of "oh, what a good friend I am" -- ness. I need to go back to bed, and the way my head is swaying as I type this, I think I'll be hitting the pillow in about 7 minutes.
As you can see, I have no problems. The people of the world, not so much, and today, in Burma, it's particularly awful.I will say a little prayer for them and perhaps write a check to somewhere that can help for Mother's Day. (It suddenly occurs to me how appropriate my art is for the tragedy there---perhaps that was what I was thinking of, though quite unconciously.)
If any of you are still looking for a present, do borrow the idea. If you tell me you sent a check somewhere, I'll gladly send a copy of the above to you or your mother, if you'd like.

I'm still thinking about this composition, trying to decide what I see. he first word to come to mind is enlightenment. Of course, that may be too easy, jsut a reaction to the light bulbs. Have to get back to work but thank you for the diversion.
Nice idea regarding contributions to aid Myanmar, so much loss is overwhelmingly difficult to conceptualize.
