I love words, music and foolishness in equal measure.
Sometimes I go through the rubbish bins of important people and lovingly retrieve the poetry they discard.

“Moonlight and Love Songs” by Patsy Chingwile. A wonderful artist with a very distinctive style. I am so lucky because I bought this beautiful painting! She lives at my house now and her blue eyes follow me around the room.

#painting #art #Sydney
Head and shoulders of a woman who is lying down, her arms stretched up and folded behind her head, her face turned to the viewer, a blue sky behind her. Her large blue eyes gaze in our direction dreamily. The woman’s face has shading in a number of colours - blue and purple above the eyes, green below the eyes, then the red of flushed cheeks below the green, yellow traces on the nose and around the eyebrows. All of these colours are visible in small traces on the woman’s skin, on her arms, neck, shoulders and torso. A longer version of the title is handwritten on the back of the painting: “Moonlight and love songs are never out of date”. It refers to a lyric in a song from the film Casablanca, “As Time Goes By” sung by Dooley Wilson: You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lovers woo They still say, "I love you." On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by Moonlight and love songs are never out of date Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate Woman needs man and man must have his mate That no one can deny It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by
