Red Right Returning
15"x30" oil on deep gallery wrapped linen
Everybody's talking at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stopping staring,
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone.
- Harry Nilsson
As I was posting this painting, I just kept thinking about "sailin' on a summer breeze"...and honestly - if you're my age, you just can't say that phrase without singing it to Harry Nilsson's tune. With all the chilly rain we've had lately, this is one fine daydream, to recall the sunny days out on the water last summer! Watching the boats go by!

This has a beautiful color composition.
Thanks Kathryn!
A lovely fresh painting Roxanne. It could be Dovestones reservoir just a few miles up the road from here. Yes, I know the words but for the life of me I can't think of the tune. I'll have to ask my daughter in Beligum!
Thanks Sheila! I found the tune on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AzEY6ZqkuE
Now it will be stuck in your head, too! :-)
