This is a newly finished (as of 16th of October 2006) water-colour, drawn
- erm painted – from an old photo of my lovely ex-girlfriend Kirsty.
When my pc blew up a few weeks ago AGAIN I had to look for imagery I had
already printed out and found this somewhere. She was very good to me.
I am intensely proud of her. She has through her own will, talent and
intelligence, created a magnificently successful career and healed herself
from wounds that were engulfing her when we met. She was a terrible mess
then, but her kindness and integrity have remained a constant.
Being with me, yeah ok, I will admit it I guess I am hard work. But there
are fringe benefits… like those Goths from the late 80s heh. I think
I have a specific aptitude for adoration, and have more perhaps at my
disposal to offer the adored than other adorers may.
I took this shot soon after I met her, though the resemblance is not as
photographic as a great deal of my work, as it was done almost entirely
from memory… this was of course because I lost the print of the
photograph almost as soon as I had begun painting it. This is the nature
of my life. It’s ok. There are fringe benefits to me too. And I
am growing my hair because I am an artist and I CAN so nyah.
