Large MM Abstract.


Large MM Abstract.


This painting was created using the same methods as the one I used on my blog yesterday. It seemed right to put the other one on again today.

I am not sure that it fits with the blog I have written today on my other blog and for that I apologise.

I am still struggling to come to terms with the fact that somebody I have got to know on here is off sleeping in a car and I can do little about. I also have a dear friend who is going through Chemo at present and I can do little about that either.

Another of my blogging friends is also very ill and can not paint because it is exhausting her. I can do nothing. I feel helpless.

In the meantime here I am complaining that I cannot find the inspiration to paint, seems so trivial. At the same time my health is daily increasing with the tough schedule I have set myself. I have lost 28lbs in weight running better and yesterday cycled twice as far as I had thought I could and intended.

So one day soon I will paint. I have been trying to do some drawing but it is far from good enough to show on here, after showing Barbra’s tree roots.

I have also been remiss in leaving encouraging comments on the many blogs I read every day. That I will put right .

It is these thoughts that prompted my other blog this morning.

I hope you have a good day.

  1. Good Morning Ralph, Yes we are powerless unless given the power! Another "signature painting" my friend, I would recognize it anywhere!

  2. There is nothing good about feeling helpless. However, there are times and events that make it so. Sometimes something small - a card, phone call, flowers from your garden - can mean a great deal to someone having a bad time. Just knowing that someone else cares makes a huge difference.

    Glad to hear you are doing better! :-)

  3. You are inspiring people which is far from being helpless - and you give people pleasure with your art too. It is so sad that some people suffer such misfortune in their lives - but some things are just out of our control. Just keep inspiring, Ralph!

  4. may you paint
    from your great heart
    a beat of hope
    a tear of grace
    a memory
    and a flower

    may the light shine
    on your canvas
    as that first great light from darkness
    as the word I AM
    rang from steeple heights

    may you breathe
    and paint
    may you breathe
    and paint
    may your great heart beat
    and may you persist

  5. A beautiful piece Ralph. I'm sure your prayers help more than you know.

  6. On est vulnérable face à l'impuissance... Vous faites déjà beaucoup, vous pensez...
    J'aime votre peinture, elle est très souvent tellement forte... comme vous. Courage,
    Bises
