THE NECKLACE
My mother is the only person to ever give me a diamond. Yet, even she kept taking it back. Once I put all the pieces of this story together it became a possibility to me that this praying mantis, this “Symbol of God”, this “Divine Messenger” could be my mother and she could very wellContinue reading “THE NECKLACE”

They have taken to living beneath the thresh-hold of our back door. I have written a short story. I hope you like it. BarryContinue reading “BUMBLES and BEES”

We realize that we already took the wrong pathContinue reading “Lessons of our heroes – Or watching the Agnes Martin Movie”
Praying to Saint Agnes
Yes, yes, I did that. Because, well, shit, i was able to get some success with only tiny little paintings – smaller studies – to get all ready for the bigger paintings, well, I’ll tell ya, they got over controlled and just looked kinda dead and I got so frustrated……… So I went to the HarwoodContinue reading “Praying to Saint Agnes”
