Hi Everybody,
Happy May To U ALL,
May Day has been here and we are moving on.
Spring has fully sprung for all in Ah-Tah-Wah.
Today I have posted photos of my latest completed painting. One of its’ series siblings remains in the final stages.
Below are a few as it happened painting process photos. I took these photos at different stages during the process of painting this canvas. You can view the same and a few more in the previous blog posting titled, “Leonard Cohen For Governor General . . . Doo Dum Dum Dum Dee Doo Dum Dum”.
I paint therefore I am.
Texture of Flow Motion.
And, the instruments of Joy.
I was loitering in the lobby of the Tower of Song one day, not long ago, and could barely contain myself upon hearing the melodies of passion from above. As the heroes passed through I thought of you and what I spoke of in confidence. I too, am not the sort of chap to keep something of such importance to myself so I share it all, especially with you. A song came to my mind because, even in the lobby of the Tower you hear these funny voices.
The lyrics are here below so keep on scrolling.

Colour The World
by John R Redmond (composed in the Tower lobby)
Every picture shares a story
A thousand words could never tell
Every heart has a painting
Over the world to cast a spell
From a gallery of wonder
Endless Flow Motion of a deep silent well
Colour the World
Colour the World
I want to colour the World
With a painting of my heart
On the palette of our mind
Ten thousand shades of rainbow hue
All the brushstrokes of a lifetime
And the canvas it is true
Every brush mark is such a dream
Masterful creation, none more than me-you
Colour the World
Colour the World
I want to colour the World
With a painting of my heart
No word of confusion
Can lay down the images
Of our coming apart
From the very core of Being
But a painting of our heart
Can colour the world
Colour the World
Colour the World
I want to colour the World
With a painting of my heart

For a nice meditative experience open the album and view the images in full screen slide show mode.
In case I have not made myself perfectly intelligible to some who have asked; Finger pointing to the moon I say;
It is what It is and I am what I am. I AM. Wakeup Johnny. Tat Twam Asi (and all that that). To quote a couple helpful friends; “If silence were gold, I’d be a rich man.”; “Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind…”; “I don’t need to believe, ‘cause I know.” To repeat my selves; “She’s at home in her dream. Seamless what she can see . . . She’s a mystery to me.”; “Lucifer, good friend, hold my hand. The rap you’ve taken for man is a cryin’ shame.”; “Heaven is alive and well living in the eyes of a man on the street. Sound before the sound. One, two, three. Point of you and me.”; ‘’Trurth is a mystery, I must confide. It’s very fuzzy, moving side to side.” Kill Bill if you see him walking along the road.
Oh oh, now I’m hearing voices again.
Almost forgot. At the request of a fan I made this wee collage of my paintings. Feel free to share.
I’d best be moving on now to a lobby down the road.
Enjoy your wilderness paddling way but put the canoe down on shore.
