Thoughts for today. Can't think of a better title.

I despair at 'humanity' that celebrates the death of any individual. This blog is intended to be about 'art' and incorporates my life etc, but I try to keep it apolitical. But I have to say that I am truly saddened by the reaction to the murder of Osama bin laden and the others who lived in his house. I just don't understand that mindset.

I am drawing a blank with painting today. I feel that this global climate of tit for tat murder and hate is a never-ending spiral. The short sightedness of the human race leaves me dispirited and cold. Hopefully isolation from news media and people's opinions on the subject will provide some relief and I will feel more able to paint again. But hey, I'm just a pinko lefty bleeding heart hippy liberal. What do I know.
