Like everything in life, some days you approach your daily tasks with joy; other days sadness. I think the same is true of artistic expression. There we can find an outlet for all sorts of feelings. I've taken a very stylized, almost idealized approach to the recent doll portraits, and it seemed to work fine in that context. It all seemed to change when I began to work on the cymbal monkey. This forlorn face seemed to symbolize (see what I did there?) all the sadness I used to feel at carnivals and especially circuses with performing animals. A sadness compounded once when I watched circus elephants being loaded onto a train car to be transported to the next town...a sort of melancholy road show. That was many years ago and it was perhaps just five minutes out of my life, but that vision has stayed with me all these years. It was in a state of suspended animation I guess until seeing this little monkey and it came roaring back at me. I studied the monkey carefully before taking the photograph. The little vest, the striped pants, and the tiny cymbals strapped to its hands in perpetuity. But most of all those soulful eyes; reminded me of my dog Red in her final days, seemingly resigned to her fate but all the while maintaining a sense of stoic dignity. Something animals can often pull off better than humans. With that connection complete, I lifted the camera and took the shot, three actually but nailed it on the first one (successive shots are often a matter of instinct rather than a real need; sometimes they pay off). Felt in processing this the need to strip away any sort of veneer or to soften the image. It is what it is and it didn't seem right to sully that.
This quilt was made only with fabrics I had. I stripped together bits and cut squares. I used brownish scraps. The alternate blocks sort of tie it all together.
The infamous Western Bar, a strip bar which has been on Edinburgh's West Port for many a year. It faces onto a triangular junction, and there used to be a strip bar on the other two points, so the area had the unlovely local nickname of "the pubic triangle" for many years. I've meant to take a pic of the exterior for ages, but there is almost always someone standing outside smoking and each time I thought about raising the camera I would get a very mean look, so refrained. But with it closed during the Lockdown I snapped a quick pic with the phone as I walked past.

I used the rest of my Momo Wonderland Jelly Roll and the rest of whatever the roll of 1.5" strips is called. I sewed all of the 2.5" strips together, then all of the 1.5" strips together. Then I joined the two long strips along the long edge and proceeded as if doing a standard strip race quilt. Does that even make sense? It would have ended up crazy long and skinny if I had the strips run horizontally, so I stopped when I got to a good size with the strips running vertically.

ok not a particularly good photo... but I wanted to show you what a strange colour the coast was today, with strong yellow sand and bottle green sea. The deep blue undercloud was amazing in contrast with the snow too.
Panorama of the Las Vegas Strip including the MSG Sphere and The Strat (it used to be called The Stratosphere) I would normally do the pano going south to included more of the Strip but I thought it was important to show the MSG relationship with the Strat. This is the north end of the Las Vegas Strip.

Little experimentation with two shots of a parking garage. The now clear bottom of one shot overlapping part of the other picture, looks pretty cool in real life. No PS involved here, I just flopped it down on my scanner the way it really is.
