Mood: Monday

Photo previously posted here was of the painting Rain in the City, by artist Katharina Valeeva, oil on carboard, 2020.

It’s a dreary day in Houston with chilly rain. It wasn’t raining yesterday when I was listening to these CDs while I researched a few things for the Neverending Saga, but I’d hoped to find a photo of one of my own paintings to accompany this music for Mood: Monday.


Cat Stevens, Greatest Hits; Sting, Brand New Day; Mercury Falling; Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984 – 1994

I’d used a lyric from Sting’s song “Fragile” on a 4×6 canvas sometime between 1997 and 2001. I don’t have a photo of it. I thought I knew who I gave it to, but apparently not, and no one else I’ve asked has it. I didn’t want it back–just hoped to get a photo of it. If my memory is accurate, the lines I used were “On and on the rain will fall/like tears from a star.” I have a vague memory of what the painting looked like, but maybe I dreamed the whole thing!

After all, who wouldn’t dream of Sting. =)

    Monday also rained here, but I wished it snowed instead. This area got nearly an inch of rain.

    Tuesday morning, the sun illuminated a rare stream of low cloud flowing between the surrounding mountains across the basin of what was a glacier lake. Then, an hour later, we were under the fog, which seems very rare in the desert!

    1. I think this is something I once meant to post about. Maybe I did. I’ll have to do a name search on my blog and see. But I found that as I aged, my concept of who is sexy and what is appealing changed. And not in a “lowering my standards” way.

      I’ll try to get to that post one day if I haven’t. It really impacted my writing on the Neverending Saga.

      1. I should think that most people are the same. Although, judging by some of the older guys on Grindr – maybe not?! :o/
