"""Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good"""
Lyrics - Nina Simone, from the song Feeling Good
Wishing you all a fabulous feeling good weekend ahead with lots of sunshine and happy smiles. Wish we could fly into the blue sky like this little origami Barn Owl. ;-))
It is from the same designer, as the model I showed you yesterday (in case you missed that, see first comment box). It is a newer model, but you can see they are related by the shape of their eyes and head.
I folded it with a selfmade two layers Unryu tissue paper, 30x30cm. Kind of experimenting in glueing paper together. This came out all right.
Final size: height 12cm, length 15cm, width 4cm
Model: origami Barn Owl 2.0
Design: Riccardo Foschi

Whilst driving the narrow twisty lanes through the Lake District heading towards Blea Tarn I saw this sight. Let's just say I might have blocked the road for a few minutes, good job nobody came along wanting to pass.
Poetry Jazz Café is still closed, but new mural, replacing Miles Davis, appeared this year. All indication point to Nina Simone, but I did not find any photo or album cover confirming to the origin of this work. Painted by Toronto based Danilo Deluxo (McDowell-McCallum). I am hoping that the first artist to open the Jazz Cafe will be the wonderful Kellylee Evans, one of my faves, who made a Nina Simone tribute album.

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
Little darlin' its been
A long cold and lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like
Years since you've been here.. - Here comes the sun - Nina Simone
Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.

Thanks to www.flickr.com/photos/ettigirbs2012/, and www.flickr.com/photos/brian2408/ , who gave me more info.
This painting has for me an aura of feeling good and then immediately the song by Nina Simone comes to mind:
This artwork hung in the middle section and behind glass, like all paintings. If you look closely at the edge, you can still see a little bit of the background. I gave it a different colour, so that all the attention goes to the painting.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
PS:
~~ "Feeling Good" is a song written by English composers Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical 'The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd'. It was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant on the UK tour. Nina Simone recorded "Feeling Good" for her 1965 album "I Put a Spell on You".~~

DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD – NINA SIMONE
The balance of our lives at stake
the unilateral line
we ride the silent unicycle
pretending we are fine
one wheel; one seat
no room for tandem
going it alone seems right
we travel on as if slow motion
can fail to halt us in our plight
we take in very little scenic flashes
we block out sounds; replace with music
we breathe in and out;
swings and roundabouts
let filter through some jazz or blues; it
matters not; whatever works
pick a tune and press repeat
it's soothing; all that repetition
cools our brows even as our feet
push the pedals round and round
we feel ourselves in sepia
it's warm like coffee latte with
sprinkles as sweet as Stevia
on and on and round and round
the spokes in life unhindered
finding balance in this world
is hard when we lack kindred
salty waves lap at the shore
licking granules from our lips
foghorns sound to warn the sailors
drifting by us on their ships
on the promenade we find
a tranquil breeze to ease our minds
see people willing to be kind
heal our wounds; the joyful binds
it is the glue that seals our cuts
fills the empty spaces between
closes our ears to all the tuts
that would otherwise steer us far downstream
two steps forward; one step back
we'll reach our destination
eventually we'll get back on track
fulfil our purpose; our imagination
will give us hope; will encourage us
to take the chances needed
so that we achieve the best we can
and let unkindness go unheeded
I think this guy had only one arm
his unicycle had only one wheel
and yet he listened to his heart
his resolve like his machine of stainless steel
hardy; courageous and undeterred
he journeyed on regardless
and that's the example I wish to follow
leave all my doubts behind; discarded.

Oh, flower of forgetfulness, just an hour away to the moon
Take a deep breath if you are reaching for truth
While you're in the stupor
The door knocks and death takes another youth
Poppies, red poppies..., red poppies...

I wish you all a bright summer and vacation and time for relaxation. I wish you all the best and say good bye for now.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the leaves to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Spring is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire no ambition leads me
Maybe it's becaus nobody needs me
Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night excite me
But maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear
Somebody told me spring is here

One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.

On the pier in Scheveningen with the North sea in the background. It was quite cold and windy and I had a longing feeling. To depict this feeling I was playing around with this bottle and depth of field. Theme: Weather in April and bokeh
HMBT!
When I was processing the picture I was listening to the song below (Suzanne). I knew this song from Leonard Cohen. I was impressed by the cover version of Nina Simone, a lot of feeling in it, too.
The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself

The voice. The handwriting. The gait.

Mood ♪♫ Nina Simone - Wild Is The Wind
She is a storm,
a pioneer
and a visionary.
by Amanda Dobby
Her eyes are
deep pools
of esoteric history.
They whisper
of tantalizing magic
secrets and mysteries.
They beckon you
to enter her secret
and sacred consistory.
Somehow they reflect
both heartfelt joy
and misunderstood misery.
They speak of
crippling defeats
abuse, deceits and trickery;
of allowing herself
to be used as nothing
more than an accessory.
But also hard won
and fought for victories
and bare naked authenticity.
She does not seek or follow
all that is shiny and glittery,
she’s hot on the trail of synchronicity.
Her featherlight touch will
leave you nervous
and jittery,
while your soul will
goad you into proceeding regardless
with an inquiry.
Her heart craves only simplicity
and it beats love into the world
like heavy artillery.
She inspires and elicits
changes in trajectory.
She can leave you with a
whiplash injury
if you dare be shady or slippery.
Her energy will make you wonder
if she’s of the earth or if she’s made
instead of far off places and witchery.
She will never
reveal
of which it might be—
it’s up to each one
who looks
what they will see.
NOTE: Recently I came across a new way of designing artwork. Be ready for your eyes to opened wide and your jaw to drop - welcome to Midjouney, a new computer AI (artificial intelligence) that takes key words and phrases you input to create whatever you want to create. I'm utterly in awe! This portrait of a woman is completely created from inputs such as
"beautiful face, neon red flowing hair, manga cover, mystical, dark gothic, stunning, dreamy, ethereal" which I just thought up myself AND "style of james jean, Tom bagshaw, Roberto Ferri and Marco Mazzoni and the very famous Rembrandt."
If you're interested in exploring this revolutionary platform please visit midjourney.com/ and sign up via Discord. FREE account or paid, whatever suits you, but trust me when I say you will be completely floored, by what you too can create! (I receive nothing from Midjourney, as I just wanted to share the joy of a new art medium.)
A beautiful song "Feeling good" by Nina Simone.
"Feeling Good"
Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
Yeah, it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me, ooooooooh
And I'm feelin' good
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done: that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine, and I know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feelin'... good
I started my day by watching Fifty Shades of Grey (that's what you get for deciding to study film + a teacher that hates us). It was not as bad as i remembered and he made some really good points that made me look at it from another perspective. It's a funny film, it's funny in its unrealistic cheesiness and bad lines. However, I really love one of its soundtracks (obviously the one in the title) and this photo makes me feel like it's representative for the song and the film as well.
