The Story
I am reminded of a movie I saw
when I was much
younger and
lively and
the imagery is vivid but
the people and
the words and
the sounds and
everything else
is almost
gone
forever.

The Story
I ran into him out front of the store and
we talked out on the sidewalk and
it was cold because it is
always cold here at this time
of the year.
We made small talk like
people do when they don’t see each other
very often anymore and
we were both agreeable and
smiled a lot more than usual.
He asked how my father was and
I realized it really had been a long time since we
caught up like this.
“I haven’t seen him in 8 years and
it is best that way,” I replied.
There was an awkward silence as
he too realized it had been a really long
time and
we went on for only a minute longer and
he reached his hand out and I shook it and
as we walked away with our back to each other
I couldn’t help but think that
his scarf wrapped his neck
like a hug.

The Story
This is a portrait of a man who
sometimes forgets about the path
that he took to where he is.
This is a portrait of a man who
remembers small details about
moments that no longer mean
anything to anyone.
This is a portrait of a man who
just wants time to slow down
so that he may enjoy every moment
of it just a little bit more.
This is a portrait of a man who
paints a portrait of man who
is not so different than
himself.
Enjoy!
The Story
I had written a lengthy story
to go with this painting and it was
about art and
meaning and
the creative process and
struggle
and
it was just
crap.
This time
it is
just about
the figure and
the colors and
the woman and
the tree and
the green and
the lines and
these words
are only
an introduction.

The Story
Is that suppose to be hair on top of the head?
She asked.
No, it isn’t hair,
I replied.
What is it then?
She asked.
It is supposed to be ideas,
I said.
They don’t look like ideas,
She said.
What do ideas look like?
I asked.
I don’t know,
She replied.
I don’t know either,
I said.
I guess they look like ideas,
She said.
I think so too,
I replied.
