Black and white keys, saxophone, guitar, everywhere. The music has much more magnificence than can be tried to be explained through words. This jazzy rendezvous has always been André’s favourite ear-food. He just loves the way its beauty, splendour, radiance is ‘unleashed’. André stares at the canvas for over a dozen times. Here he is staring at the blank space which is future marvel…or was it to be past marvel? Had he missed his chance, missed the boat which would have sailed to sentimental stardom? He refuses to collaborate more than a sentence for any one idea. Any idea that deserves a sentence must deserve no doubt. Any canvas is only worth the greatest ideas. Two André’s exist; though only one at any one time. The withdrawn analytical front, designed for most occasions. On rare occasions the other character may appear, the intensive, massively determined André who acts on impulses. Impulsive André must be begged out. A Pandora’s Box of surprises, his job will at least never cease to astonish. “Dearest André, Through years have you befriended my son Louis, so therefore I am offering an opportunity to benefit both of our interests (with intent towards your gain). Litton inc., my company has stepped up towards mainstream success. We require visual arts for our newly bought edifice. I understand you have been painting for the eight years since high school. To your discretion I would like to require a painting; just one will suffice. I would like something vibrant and colourful, yet deep and meaningful; Contemporise to your own vision. Much thanks, Dr. Raymond Fonck.” The commissioned paper lies stuck on the wall. André has read it. Now it is time for the future. It has been too long sitting around (or rather bouncing around); too get too much productivity from anything. Someone once said to him that anything is good experience. True perhaps, although he prefers productivity, especially in a time of intensity such as this; three days left until confrontation. His vigilant eyes stroll around the room, searching for advice. He is not bored, nor has he painters block, for such a term does not exist and will not ever for him. His eyes strike the clock. The clock glares 5:48 pm back. What a disgusting fierce look it has. Not 5:45, nor 6:00 and only one uncomfortable minute in-between. For at this time these uncomforting three digits add to the frustration in the actual time. “Aw!” André suddenly realizes the importance of the time. It is the one factor which never seems to be on his side but actually encourages his total progress. It is an epiphany like that of a mother to the newborn. André decides to let his hands take / control. They are the secret key, (sometimes the gatekeepers of unleashing impulsive André) His dominant left one picks up the brush (over time it has made up for its fault of statistically losing him seven years). His right hand decides to lose cognition. It dips itself into a little puddle of Sangria oil paint muck. Than it flies onto the near-centre of the canvas, smeared diagonally. His left hand takes initiative once again, waving lines of smudge to and fro. Right hand brings more paint to its destination. Myrtle, Indigo, Olive, Magnolia…and no, not that…Yes, yes, even black! (Well seal brown to be precise). All of these contextually beautiful colours unleashed! There are no thoughts in André’s mind now. This is impulsive André now; organised thought is of little importance! That colour is important here. This colour is unimportant there. A few lines of any colour are important right here or there, but perhaps a darker colour is better. More negative space up and down the edges. Shape is forming. Lines are bolding. Complete non-representational form is diminishing. Visualizations; the visualized images in mind are being…unloaded bit by bit. It is coming about. What is it though? No one knows. If anybody could guess it definitely would not be André. André knows he has the power to bring out the reality in it though. In a seemingly paradox situation he must not connect to reality at the moment though. Now, after these hours of painting, André is in the painting. He would not know it has been hours besides the constant glare of the illuminating digital clock staring from across the room; it unconsciously processes its recognition into André. The phone screams out, ‘br-ring, br-ring!’ Like the other external matter it creeps into André, until finally its screams become too annoying to ignore. It’s too late now…impulsive André has vanished; his conventional counterpart has replaced him. The phone persists though. André decides to take it (typical for his returned mannerism). He dives across the room horizontally attacking the corner where that nuisance phone lies. ‘Aw, aw, aw, aw!’ A tube of paint has squirt from underneath his stomach. Agonising that his material friend can be so painful at times (like any of his life long friends). He picks up the phone; only the tone. He has missed whatever, whoever it was. Once again, missing the boat… Now thought and all that comes with it has returned. Why now out of all times possible? There is only sadness, misery, all this escalated from these small miniscule misfortunes; all has turned to turmoil! What can one do, when feeling like crawling into a hole? His secret minor disorders such as his claustrophobia would prevent him from crawling into that hole, even if he had one. At the moment everything feels like one big hole. Not surprisingly André’s eyes begin doing the only thing they know to do in times of unrest; wander. It is impossible to ignore what is there; it has been there all along, yet has never been seen. It is beautiful! It is splendour! It is radiance!! It is interrupted by another scream of ‘br-ring br-ring’. André picks up the damn phone. Without contemplation he whispers, “Sir, madam, I’m very terribly busy, could you perhaps call back sometime?” A deep sophisticated voice replies, “Raymond Fonck, André. Listen, I need to know about the progress of the painting. How is it going; ready to sell on Friday?” Many emotions garner at the speed of light inside André allows these emotions to clash inside of him. The painting; it is beautiful, splendour, radiance! How could he give it away now, after an indescribable series of emotional contributions? It is something that has not been attempted before; yet it is new but the expression of old. It is everything, at the moment, hopefully containing more interpretive inoculations for the future. It is a subject, of just some time, yet it contains a collaboration of detail separated from time. It is…once again interrupted by screams, this time of another sort; the infuriating talking of man. “André. Are you there?” Feelings of great rebellion sweep André off his feet. He knows how he will revolutionize his life, because after all; this painting has revolutionized his thought already. “Mister Fonck. I am so sorry. Some things have come over me…a type of sickness…although I am sure you are not aware of this mad syndrome I am suffering due to it. Well to the point, I must say I will not be supplying you with your wanted artwork. Thank you for your understanding. Hopefully we can collaborate something in future.” André hangs the phone up without replies, without a stated understanding from the mister Fonck. Without even the knowledge of acceptance or approval from the mister Fonck…it does not matter. All that matters is this new painting, this contemporised vision. It is everything. Most importantly of all, it is…unleashed!

Hello everyone, / I partook in my first craft show and sold 22 cards over two days. I am hoping to attend another one on the 17th of this month. Also hoping to attend some in Calgary. Since I started I have sold 142 mostly to guests on my tour coach. I do have some in one store but they did not seem to sell very well. According to my calculations the most popular is “Calmness” with “reflections” coming in 2nd and “Pyramid mountain” and “Picture Window ” tied for third place in sales.

I have never been much good with words, or generally with expressing myself the way I’d like to. / Generally, I have an attention span of a sparrow – or a Magpie – Ohhhh Shinieeeeeee … swush .. gone she is… / In such, I am surprised, how many hours I can spend on red bubble, browsing through galleries, looking at my favourites over and over and over again without ever getting bored. / The Bubble – or more – the Artists of the Bubble make me go through the motions. I feel everything on here starting from joy about the great pictures, the fantastic scenes, and the big hubub of talents all over all the way down to deepest envy. So often, I go through the galleries of the ones I watch, and just hovering over the comments button without then commenting not at all. There is just no words, that describe what for example Pauldrobertson’s Words and Arts arise in me. So many people are doing their fantastic photography, painting, writing for a good purpose. Mundy Hacket, Steve Bulford, Lisa Putman – just to name a few. Looking at their pictures makes me go all awed and sad at the same time – sad because I cannot just click on the buy button to support them. And again, I lack the words for comments that express more than “great job” alone.. On this Bubble there is a majority of great jobs… fantastic works, great art, wonderful photography. Just two days ago, I found two more photographers living in Austria, whose galeries blow me away. And I know, looking at everyone on here – featured, non-featured, appreciated, overseen in the masses… What everyone does is more than just “great job”, “fantastic work”, “great DOF”, “great talent” – it’s a part of themselves, everyone shared. A part of their lives, a part of whatever is dear to them. And this is what makes me glad to see – to find so much emotion, so much classique and so much depth in the Bubble. / And just adding another “fantastic” to already existing 25 greats, excellents & outstandings doesn’t truly express what I REALLY want to say… I am not commenting everywhere and a lot. I am not commenting each and every single picture people from my watchlist upload – if you expect this, I am sorry, I failed your expectations. But words could never express how your art touches me. Sometimes, I stop and a picture remembers me of something I have experienced – I add a few lines and thank for arousing the memories. I like sharing the “little stories”, and still – the words just don’t cut it… So this is just my general comment to go out there… To thank you all (just to blow into the same trumpet as all the other Thank You letters ;c) ), for watching, commenting, browsing, clicking, favouriting, hovering, lurking,... (Sorry if I offended someone with my sentimental, sappy stuff :c/ ... )

Today i sat with a woman i barely knew, in her shop, talking about life and then how it should be lived. Not in a specific way, just that it was for living and not for wasting. This woman has had a job, career, stroke, lost family to cancers, married, divorced, had 4 kids, mortgages and everything you could throw at her but she is one of THE most positive people i think i’ve ever met. She bought me tea, $60 worth of posh fancy teas and even had the kindness to also bring a tea strainer – one of those fancy silver ones you fill with your loose leaf and sit in your cup like a re-usable tea bag. It has a heart on it and a pretty ribbon. Im not a girly girl, but i do like sweet things. The tea was SO thoughtful. See. I’m English, living in America, she’s Russian, living in America. She knows i miss my tea, she knows how things here don’t work the way they do “back home”. That one act of kindness just felt awesome to me. She’ selfless and giving and i graciously excepted. The tea is AMAZING. I’ve never tasted anything quite like it and i’ve had a lot of tea in my life. I’m helping her clear her house, not for profit but for fun. This woman is a woman after my own heart. People like her don’t come around every day. I just wanted to sing her praises and to let you all know, good people are still out there, sitting in thrift shops, trying to get by.

Very excited to see my drawing Endless heart made the top 10 in All About Hearts The Sentimental Heart challenge! It was also featured in the All About Hearts group. Am also feeling quite sentimental and challenged because l’ll be signing off from RB for a while. Need to focus on some practical ‘life’ things, like finding a new job! But as the Governator once said, ‘I’ll be back’!

Just a week from tomorrow, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving here in America. Some will be travelling great distances to be with family & friends, others will stay home to welcome guests to join them there. It’s a time of celebration with a table of bounty, a time of sharing & reflecting, & a time of giving thanks for God’s provision. We have so much here in America to be thankful for & may none of us lose sight of all the blessings that we often so easily take for granted. I just want to take the time to extend a very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you & to say thank you from the bottom of my heart (& the top of it, too) for all the wonderful comments & encouragement you’ve shared with me over the past few months. So glad to call you my friends. My only regret is that I’ll never meet you in person. :( Love to all, / Marsha The original Thanksgiving!
