Nice shot. When did you get visual? (I always considered you more of a word person)

cara said...

sexy fenders.

She got visual when she met me.(I think she's always had the sexy fenders)

word people should not try to be visual.

it always ends up being so... uh, lyrical. and poetical.

like, the guy standing by himself looking out into the street. what's he thinking? why the sun? why the weeds? why the bumpers?

i see the protagonist, but where's the antagonist? and who's the narrator here? can i trust them?


let's see more of these! s'il vous plait.

also, cara and ren must meet if they never have, which i believe to be the case.

yeah, because visual people usually aren't lyrical or poetic.(not)I think what you meant to say is that maybe wordy types can then talk/write/read about these things when found in a visual format.not to say visual types can't. so what the heck r u say'in?

more importantly:

you should see her draw!

I tink i've seen mor visuals from ren then her words...strangely. unless you count scrabble.

I totally forgot about the paintings that Ren used to do (and maybe still does). My bad... sorry Ren. I guess I was distracted by all that Scrabble and all those years hittin' the books.

I'd love to meet Ren, of course...next T.O. road trip?

Right backatchya Cara, although I suspect the chances of our meeting occurring in wpg far greater than in toronto. And sooner too.

My oh my you boys sure do talk. Visual, wordy, sexy, I've got it
all. C'mon, isn't that common knowledge? hehe...and yes, James, of course, my visual powers were bestowed to me upon the fortuitous intersection of our lives. I would be utterly obsessed with the alphabet and only that if it wasn't for your powers of artistic persuasion.

Except for those drawings. And oh yeah, except for the paintings too. Next time you're in windsor park I'll bring you down to my mom's basement closet box gallery, where they are displayed.

ps: truth is James you are kinda persuasive, but it's not due to your words or your visuals, but to your actions :)

pps: I've only painted with oils, and I wanna try acrylic. They seem easier to manipulate, at least for a novice like me.

ppps: Anybody feel like painting (and maybe showing me a couple things) over the holidays?

cara said...

I wanna paint...but maybe I'd be better at babysitting...well I'd do either...

Ren: you do have it all
:)

My inner peace is restored. There are no restrictions, everyone is allowed to use words and visuals and music, there are no classes
