Basically, this is a self portrait I painted by covering a board in the last of my paints one day and quickly adding lights and darks before it all dried. Just an experiment. When it did dry, i scratched in a poem. ‘I want to dedicate these brown eyes to her husband, the fear me father. / His eyes always quick to judge, / that look down at the daughter who’ll never meet his expectations, / even if she wanted to. / I want to dedicate these rough sketches to his wife, the quitter. / Who’s a better spender and cleaner / than a mother. / I want to dedicate thse bitten nails and scarred wrists to the boys gone by / with warm hands and tilting eyes / who seemed so worth it / for too long. / I want to dedicate these smiles to the girls / with hair / twisted around their fingers. / I want to dedicate every heartbeat to the boy with his head on my pillow / sleeping beside me / who walks in the rain / and kisses my cheek. / I want to dedicate these journal entries to everyone who didnt know me. / And I want to dedicate these secrets and thoughts to anyone who thinks that they do.
In Edinburgh for my husbands 30th birthday, a little worse for wear! An absolute blast of a vacation in the lovely historic city. So much still to see! / Here is my husband Craig on the left and his father John Docherty on the right. John returning during his visit to old haunts from childhood, his memories of Edinburgh and Bonyrigg. We have started a heritage scrapbook and as such are looking at family tree and connections for Docherty/Campsie family. Anyone ideas?
This is the statue of Gray Friars Bobby. The story as i am lead to believe is that Bobby was a * Terrior, belonging to John Gray; who died in February 1858. After his death Bobby sat by his masters grave for years until eventually he died in 1872. The people of Edinburgh were so impressed by his loyalty that they decided to erect the statue in memory of him. Some descrepencies may be here as information is taken from many sources.
