Hearts Have Turned To Stone
Music & lyrics by Leon Russell & Elton John 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm out here in the darkness
I hear the howling wind
Sometimes I sit and wonder
Will I ever see love again
Looking for an answer
Not an easy thing to find
Out here in the wilderness
With questions on my mind
Now the sun is rising higher in the sky
The morning light is crawling
From the darkness of the night
The raindrops keep on falling
There is no light of day
The sadness deep inside me
Doesn't seem to go away
And there's no way out, no road home
I'm lost in doubt and I'm all alone
The time has come
When love is done
Hearts have finally turned to stone
No more bright tomorrow, only sad today
My heart is filled with sorrow
The pain won't go away
Try to keep from crying
All night long and through the day
Lost and all alone
Hearts have finally turned to stone
No more bright tomorrow, only sad today
My heart is filled with sorrow
The pain won't go away
Just trying to keep from crying
All night long and through the day
Lost and all alone
Hearts have finally turned to stone
Inspiration: Washed the floors today...and....the cats do not particularly like when I do this thing.
Materials: platinum carbon fountain pen on Stillman & Birn, epsilon paper.
Notes: My year project is done so I an finished counting the drawings. Now they will appear at random, some mere scribbles while others are more involved pieces. While materials are liable to change from day to day, the subject matter will remain driven by fits of personal whimsy.

Take Me Back
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1980
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want my loving take me back
If you miss my touch little girl take me back
When the dreams you lean on are beginning to crack
Open up your heart little girl and take me back
If you want my loving then take me back
If you're on your own little girl take me back
When the nights grow longer turning blacker than black
Open up your heart little girl and take me back
Playing a part you're well prepared for, there you stand
With all I ever cared for in your hand
I'm waiting all the time
For some kind of sign from you
And I'll go on and on this way
Waiting for the day
When I will hear you say
You'll take me back
If you want my loving well take me back
If you're feeling down little girl
Then you'll take me back
When you look around you for the love that you lack
Open up your heart little girl
You got my heart little girl
Make a start little girl
And say you'll take me back
Take me back
....Trump is quoted as saying; "...you look at what's happeing last night in Sweden".....much to the perplextion and vexation of the Swedes, who have NO IDEA what he is talking about. It's like the The Böwling Grön Massacre all over again. This is my guess. ;)
#310 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Barcelona
Result: Day 4
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 & Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils in a Stillman & Birn Zeta series sketchbook
Location: apartment in Barcelona
Note: The following drawings are reflections of my trip to Spain, Dublin and Scotland. It's a combination sketchbook / journal. Not all of the pages contain writing ....those are yet to be filled in because while I did make a point of doing a drawing every day I really didn't have time to also fill in the blanks with words...those are to come. I just needed to get these posted so I could get my daily drawings back on track. :)

"There's no time for waiting
No future to see
Inside the next moment
Nothing might be
The answer's not certain
No time to decide
Is this the last curtain
There's no place to hide..."
(Leon Russell, Elton John, THE UNION)
Ink on $teinbach paper
Fun morning with the Brisbane Urban Sketchers at South Bank. I really love drawing the Moreton Bay Fig Tree trunks.. Can you find the water dragon?

"...You can't shoot down the moon
Some things never change
We can build a bridge between us
But the empty space remains
Just as long as you're around
We live on borrowed time
I'll put my money where my mouth is
You're guilty at the scene of the crime
I never say more than I need
The mystery runs deep
The dangers buried below
The secrets that you keep"

#75 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: My recent birthday
Result: Infinity Dragon
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: I have always been associated with dragons. I don't mean that I think I am one or feel an affinity for them, rather that throughout my life people have gifted me with dragon totems and nicknames. Born in the Year of the Dragon helps explain how it started, but not why it has persisted for decades. After a while it just became such a strong part of my identity that I now sport a dragon tattoo.
As a birthday card to myself I decided to draw one, curled in the symbol of infinity, which also happens to be the shape that my family has traditionally baked for birthdays a sweet bread made with saffron, raisins, orange peel and almonds instead of a cake with candles. :)

Inktober #10 of 31
Inspiration: ... Thinking of fairy tales...
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen, Kuretake No. 13 Fountain Brush Pen & Faber-castell in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook
Location: Home
Note: just messing around...if I get my chores done today then I might get at those cats that are piling up.
....I don't even know what to make of this colour. Scanning it. Photographing it.....nope. Not going to get anywhere near the weirdness in real life. Red? Orange? Touch of neon peach? It breaks with water to paler but even more messed up version of what it scans. I have no idea....aside from the fact that it is not to my tastes.
