I previously posted a photo of the oil and paper on canvas work, Guitar Solo, by artist John O’Donoghue.
I’ve fallen in love with John O’Donoghue’s work. On part of the printed material on this painting are the words “I want to run…hide…” I had already been thinking of a post for 1/16, sharing photos from my past, that would begin, “Do you ever want to run away to, and hide in, a certain moment from among your memories…”
Later, unrelated, I began searching Google images for something for today’s post, using the search term “art with guitar in the title.” This painting caught my eye from among many, and only after I decided to use it did I realize it contains lines from U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name,” tying it in theme, if not level of talent, to a painting I did last year in honor of a character–all of which I’ll talk about more on my post a week from now, which is also a Monday. Probably I should have saved this entire thing for then, but I was so excited to discover a new-to-me artist, marveling again at the way the Universe assists us when we ask for and are open to answers. I’ll use another of O’Donoghue’s paintings on that post that more closely matches the memories I plan to share.
Hope you tune in again on the 16th for my follow-up.
That devil music rock and roll that has all the kids dancin and kissin. I love it
S*x D*mon has entered the chat. 😈
Just let hear some of that
Rock ‘n’ Roll Music
(I also saw most of “When All I Want is You”)
I know “All I Want Is You” from Rattle and Hum, but I’d never seen the video, which I just watched. Apparently, there is debate about who died at the end: the man with dwarfism, or the trapeze artist he loves. Is one or the other a ghost or a memory at the end?
This would have been a great storyline for my Barbies when I was a kid and created circus sets with trapezes for them. Except that was long before U2 and this song. =)
