When i was very young my older brother took me to meet Janis Jolpin in her hotel room in a rather dumpy apartel in Holly wood, I belive I was around 12. My brothers close friend, Terry Clements played sax with Big Brother and the holding company. Ironicly enough Janis died about 3 days later in that very room…

This tree bark has distinctive imagery that reminds me of the intense and prophetic song. “Little Girl Blue.” performed in the 60’s by the inspirational and immensely talented Janis Joplin. The lyrics of this powerful song reflect the despair and sadness of the “blue:” / little girl on the far right of this somber photograph that poignantly reflects the life of the artist who like rock / musicians including the brilliant Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain who also died from an overdose of powerful drugs. There are other faces in this macro bark abstract that are more apparent when viewing this in the large format. / I am always interested in what images you see. I wrote about depression and bipolar disorder in children in / my narrative of “blue boy.” I see a sad little girl / frightened and suffering in a blue cavern. Janis Joplin / was one of my favorite rock musicians, a heroine of the 60’s, who was inspirational, powerful and among others was the voice of a generation. Her poignant lyrics often reflected the profound pain and torment of the artist who like other rock heroes died before their time. Janis like Michael Jackson, two brilliant performers was “gone too soon” ‘Sit there, hmm, count your fingers. / What else, what else is there to do ? / Oh and I know how you feel, / I know you feel that you’re through. / Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count, / Ah, count your little fingers, / My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah. Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops / Oh, feel ’em falling down, oh honey all around you. / Honey don’t you know it’s time, / I feel it’s time, / Somebody told you ‘cause you got to know / That all you ever gonna have to count on / Or gonna wanna lean on / It’s gonna feel just like those raindrops do / When they’re falling down, honey, all around you. / Oh, I know you’re unhappy. Oh sit there, ah go on, go on / And count your fingers. / I don’t know what else, what else / Honey have you got to do. / And I know how you feel, / And I know you ain’t got no reason to go on / And I know you feel that you must be through. / Oh honey, go on and sit right back down, / I want you to count, oh count your fingers, / Ah my unhappy, my unlucky / And my little, oh, girl blue. / I know you’re unhappy, / Ooh ah, honey I know, / Baby I know just how you feel.” Janis Joplin / Little Girl Blue

This was inspired by a comment my friend / Keith Botilier / made on one of my rose fractals. We both love the song The Rose which was sung by Bette Midler in the movie as titled about Janice Joplin. It’s one of those songs that gives you the chills when you listen to it. I have included the lyrics incase you haven’t ever heard of it. The image is a photo I took a few months ago entitled Redolence which I applied some post processing to. Hope you like! Comments welcome! The Rose / by Bette Midler Some say love, it is a river / that drowns the tender reed. / Some say love, it is a razor / that leaves your soul to bleed. / Some say love, it is a hunger, / an endless aching need. / I say love, it is a flower, / and you it’s only seed. It’s the heart afraid of breaking / that never learns to dance. / It’s the dream afraid of waking / that never takes the chance. / It’s the one who won’t be taken, / who cannot seem to give, / and the soul afraid of dyin’ / that never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely / and the road has been to long, / and you think that love is only / for the lucky and the strong, / just remember in the winter / far beneath the winter snows / lies the seed that with the sun’s love / in the spring becomes the rose. /

Hey, fill me like the mountains, yeah, yeah, yeah, / Fill me like the sea, Lord, / Not coming past, still at last / Your love brings life to me, / Your love brings life to me, / Hey!
