But Now You're Here
It’s been a long time that I’m waiting
Been a long time that I’m blown
Been a long time that I’ve wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind’s eye.
Words by Nick Drake
This painting is dedicated to Nick Drake’s wonderful talent and memory.
A Special Thank You To – Pryere – for introducing me to his wonderfully talented man and his music.

You’re right!! Reminds me of a musician friend who hasn’t made it yet, but ought to! Happy New-and-Improved Year!!!!!
Sophie Shapiro replied
Syd, so many people should have made it and don’t! I sometimes don’t understand why they don’t. Nick Drake unfortunately couldn’t combine his talent with commercialism. I am pleased to remember him today. A message for us all. I wish your friend every success and happiness. Sx

hi Sophie, I haven’t stopped look by this brought tears to my eyes Nicky was such a great artist and to me this art and his music seem made for each other, and now we have lost nicky’s contemporary the Great John Martyn his loss leaves a big hole in my musical heart, great to see your still producing wonderful images.
