This is a cubist inspired painting of a trumpet. (click to see a larger version)

In order to paint it I took a trumpet and held it in one hand, rather like Hamlet with Yorick's skull and I also listened to a range of trumpet jazz, starting with Charlie Parker and running the whole gamut - Chet Baker, Miles Davis, and so forth.

I am quite pleased with the result, and intend to next paint a piano. Though how I will hold that in one hand, I am not so sure.

Quick inspiration

We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.

George Orwell, 1939

What's going on?

What are you listening to at the moment?

An A-ha mash-up

If you have Spotify (download it, it's free and a very useful way of listening to music) you can listen to a playlist of what I like at the moment

What are you reading at the moment?

The brief wondrous life of Oscar Wao

What are you thinking about at the moment?

Everything.

What are you working on at the moment?

A painting of a raven and a pomegranate

And noodling about on the guitar

Returning to the arrangement of words for novels, like a shipwrecked sailor ordering the pebbles of a beach to spell out SOS - or perhaps 'wish you were here', to passing planes.
