HOT LOVE (WHEN I STOP DREAMING)

When I was younger, I considered Paul Delvaux (pictured r. w/model) to be the cat’s meow, but I’ve grown increasingly unsure about this.   

It has more to do, I think, with the actual quality of the paintings than with the trivialization of his ideas by high and low imitators or his own tendency to self-plagiarize.  Still, something of value remains.

NEW YEAR'S PILGRIM

Now I'm going down to that river of Jordan
Just to bathe my weary soul
If I can just touch  the hem of His garment, good Lord
Then I know You'll take me home

Funny, up all night as usual, but with Rose and Claude (doing his Jackson Pollock paper-scattering-arranging thing) for company (Pansy also – opening closed cabinets and tilting pictures on the wall), and believing that Jane’s having a blast with Rachel and her other friends, things Augur well.  Healthy, wealthy and wise (a phrase with partial Philadelphia roots) sounds like a reasonable plan and priority order.  Wisdom is difficult to achieve or obtain.  Happy New Year !!  !!
