Hi Fran, hope all is well!
So I was watching a
Pink Floyd
documentary & one of
the songs inspired the
concept for this
collage. Too much here
to describe in a text,
but I'm thinking it's a
powerful image & that
we could have an
intriguing discussion
about the symbolism
The other portrait was
done back in 2009. The
odd thing is that one of
the ravens in that
drawing is a close
match to the one in the
collage, that I didn't
even notice till a few
days ago. I wonder if
it's the same bird,
metaphorically
speaking?

Text from Eve at 7:47am, [I slept a
little better but my hand is still
pretty bad...] A lovely afternoon with
Myle & the girls at Lougheed Mall visiting
Santa Claus. A cloudless sky, the
November air had the perfect coolness,
& the sun the perfect warmth. Some
nice drama from the L.A. Coliseum,
Rams/Chiefs.One of the most
entertaining games you'll ever see

20th (Tuesday)
Text from Myle this morning, [Want to
have lunch?]   'Sure'   at the place on
Cambie?' [Yes]   Had a nice lunch of
Hong Kong noodles with pork & shrimp, &
my first ever cup of almond milk, which
was excellent
