The last Hungry Eye was written over 6 months ago on April 2, 2020.  Since/during the world has pressed in with a siege of wordy engines, the sound of sirens and helicopters & a smoked-out sky drifted in from the west coast.  It has also fallen away as I continue to live in a mostly isolated state.  The threads of communication take on theatrical significance even as they are diminished in their lack of corporeal presence.  As the anxiety heightens & singes my adrenal highways the paintings fall out of my hands like fairy gifts.  One after another they almost paint themselves.
There has been a suffusion of pink in many of the pictures and a release of restraint. Doodle Beach Island, that wonderful land of imagination, has become a great influence,  spreading its charms & inclusiveness over the geography of this abode.
