Acrylic on canvas-board, 11X14 inches.
Painted in April of 1982.

I've had several premonitions of my own death over the course of my life. The first was December of 1977, the second in April of 1982. No idea if these are a thinning of the veil between what is and what always is, or simply a routing of chemicals in the head. I don't particularly care which, but it is an interesting and otherworldly feeling.

I first became aware of the music of the great Orlando Gibbons on March 3, 1982. It has been a staple of my life ever sense. As I was overtaken by the aforementioned feeling in the spring of '82, this little painting just more or less... happened - a product of the jumble in my head at the time.
Life goes on, and one jumble replaces another. It's a crudely painted little piece, but it does (for a moment) take me back to a time when dark times were, in retrospect, not so dark after all.
