Tambi
This is a followup to my painting of Amy from last year.
Red: you know how you go through periods where you like a certain color? Red: that color for me right now is red. Black: yes Black: really Black: nice Black: what's the reddness of red for you right now? Red: i think its maybe how ive feen feeling lately Black: glowing inside Red: im definitely glowing inside, but i wish to find someone to share my glow with. Red: or whod be interested in seeing that glow. Red: that there, is a difficult task. Black: there's a song... turn on your love light Black: let it shine on me Black: maybe it's a red light Red: im sure it is Black: and you just found it Red: valentines day is coming up soon, are you excited? Red: love and red i guess are relative hah. Black: i made one this weekend Black: i didn't want to wait for the calendar Black: hah Red: you made a valentines day?? Black: yes Black: two of them Red: how sweet!! Black: a saturday and a sunday Red: that is the greatest idea ever. Red: everyday should be a valentines day. Red: celebrating the one you love. Black: here's something i learned Black: tell me if you like it... Black: most 'shoulds' could be 'coulds' Black: then you take the pressure off Black: and open yourself up to surprise Black: that was good advice i hear from someone a while back Black: heard Red: yes that is fabulous advice. Red: i think i just need to keep on doing things out of spontaneity and do what i want to do, instead of worrying about it. Black: me too Red: im always like "i should do this, i should do that" Black: pressure Black: i could...... i could Red: yeah and after you do it, you feel so much better. Black: play Red: play? Black: yes could is play Black: should is .............. following orders Red: true Black: could is like making a painting Black: we could put a house here. Black: and a road... Black: some treees Black: make the sky a certain blue Red: tom, you paint very well, paint me a relationship. Black: we could wipe it all down and paint in a girl Black: you're relating already Black: if eyes are on these words that is Black: let's paint one together Black: what's in a relationship Red: there is laughter Black: yes lots of that Red: so you have to paint the two people with their mouths open and smiling Red: taking naps together. Black: while smiling? Red: haha noo Red: the 'taking naps together' was its own statement hah Black: ok so smiles get wiped away while napping Red: well they could still be smiling. Black: yes it's our painting Red: in their heads, but not physically? haha Black: smiling naps Black: powerful Black: what's the background? Red: a quiet complacent meadow Black: nicely painted! Red: like the one in bambi Black: oh now disney will sue us Red: hahahahha Black: how about ......... tambi? Red: alright tambi it is! Black: and ..... wisney Red: haha thatll do Black: now wisney won't sue us because we're only talking about gambi Red: is it gambi or tambi? Black: wow a friend Black: the plot thickens! Black: how can you tell them apart? Red: gambi has a white heart shaped patch of hair on his back. Black: what color heart has hambi? Red: there is a hambi too?! Black: multipling! Black: like rabbits! Black: now we're got a house.... a napping couple.. Red: haha theyre appearing so fast! Black: 3 deer Black: rabbits all over Red: hambi, gambi, and tambi decide to peer into the window to see whats inside the house Black: a plan Red: they decide they want to kidnap the couple and take them to the candy factory. Black: this is like a dream where your brain has to be one step ahead Black: owned by cambi? Black: cambi's candies Red: haha yes! but cambi is different from the other 3 deer Red: cambi is the evil do-er Black: where did evil come from? Red: it grows from the trees Black: is it like in buffy when that girl's girlfriend dies and the girl who's alive changes her hair to black? Black: and drinks words with her fingers? Red: sure! haha i dont remember it Black: so help needed here Black: i'll be at a party and someone will say that question.. Black: you've heard it i'm sure.. Black: the question that people ask when you're at a party and they decide to ask it Black: the question being.. Black: what do you do? Red: and then thats the part when you say.. Black: how to explain the cosmology of cambi, rambi, tambi and hambi? Black: where would wambi? Red: wambi would be on the other side of the fence. Red: kinda just looking in. Red: watching maybe? Red: taking notes? Black: the watcher Black: one of those palm pilot kind of deer? Red: haha yes! that exactly! Black: no wait. let's get out the turpentine Black: let's make this a serious painting Red: an HP palm pilot to be exact Black: it's a portrait of you afterall Black: it should be a fine one Red: yes Black: like those.... paintings of bankers in stiff suits in the bank Black: no that's not it... Black: fair madames on swings Red: or ladies dancing with wings? Black: she sings Red: singing she does only on the weekends Black: i used to be a sunday painter Black: now i'm a monday painter Black: i can take you to the future Black: it is always now Red: i dont want to be taken to the future, how about the past? Black: tomschreiber.com/art/impressions_amy.htm Black: as sure as apples is apples Red: haha very much so the past Black: past present... future Black: these are big concepts indeed Red: but not too big for me Red: how big is big exactly. Black: you keep them simple? Black: show us the way Red: i try to, but other forces dont usually allow me to keep them simple. Black: i heard recently Red: although at times, i wish things were not simple, and i wish for things to be complicated, maybe dramatic. Black: to be yourself in a world constantly trying to make you someone else, that is the greatest accomplishment. Black: that was emerson Red: so very true Red: words of wisdom are always good to keep in mind. Black: silly words too Black: words like gambi and eambi Black: but also serious words like dictaphone and obfuscate Red: wow ! Black: if you ask me the silly ones are better Red: tom, do you use those words in your daily life? Red: dictaphone and obfuscate? Black: not usually in the am Red: only allowed in the pm eh? Black: they're very pm words Black: only on tuesdays too Red: tuesdays should feel privileged then Black: obfuscations begins............ oh somewhere around tuesday at 9 eastern standard Red: and dictaphone occurs? immediately after that? Red: or the tuesday after? Black: the feeling of privilege is mine! Black: i'm the lucky painter Black: able to melt away silly studio walls Red: so then we will steal the privilege from tuesday and give it to the painter if need be Black: and get beyond appearances Red: although tuesday deserves to get something. Black: to be able to invite people to dance in your head Black: yes you're right Black: rubies! Red: red ones? Red: or how about rubles? Black: red ruby tuesday Black: rub rubbies the wrong way and you'll get rubble worth few rubles Red: rubies can make people pretty ruthful Black: having ruths is good right? Red: only if they are babe ruths! Black: it's those ruthless that we have to watch for Red: why be ruthless when you have rubles Black: yes now we know just what to put in this painting Black: let's wipe it down yet again Black: everything will still be there Black: here there that is Black: a fresh brush and a new shape Black: how about a circle? Red: hm maybe Red: theyre almost neverending and they just keep going? Black: it will be one of those modern paintings Black: nice Black: yes round and round Red: but that makes me dizzy. Red: i think i need something with corners Black: neverending.. Red: somewhere where i can stop and think. Black: like a 500 gig ipod Red: ack! Black: well we're in a square Red: okay squares are good Black: it could just be white Black: a while square Black: a place to sit Black: and let thoughts float by Red: that could work:-) Red: make it a black square Red: the white would hurt my eyes. Black: black might frighten some no? Red: hm then they could get over that fear! Red: black has its perks Black: why thanks Red: haha yes Black: i appreciate that compliment Red: youre welcome! Black: let's paint a woman on a black square Black: with 5 lines Red: okay Black: that's one Red: i just did two lines. Black: yipes we're at four Red: i made her hips. Red: you can do the last line Red: but it has to be her smile. Black: i'll make them dance
