Sunshine Wind

 

Sunshine Wind
"My heart lies on a rainbow
Above a river of gold,
Leading to a place behind the sun
Where young never turns old."
(copyright by Nancy Shewchuk)

I am combining my painting and writing using symbols from my poetry, lyrics, journals, etc. and then creating a painting like this first of many which I can then put into book form.

Freaky Mid-April Snowfall

 


Mid-April in New England!
Pretty but...really?
Crow venturing across the snowy ground 
to partake of the morning's food.


A view of the birdbath looking out the
front window of the small bedroom.
View of back yard from my bedroom window
where I paint - I share my art table
with my tray of succulents and our 
2020 poinsettia - my friends.

Rufus Wainwright - Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk - Late Night Concert Anew


To follow up on Rufus LIVE at The NY Winery -
He sang "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" during his early show in yesterday's post so here it is! :)
Below are a few pictures from his late show last night...same old wild and fun Rufus...anything goes!  :)


With his sister, Lucy, and his father, Lauden who sang a Happy Birthday song to his girlfriend, Susan.

It was a fun virtual concert by Rufus and I'm glad I'm a supporter and big fan of his and thrilled I got to see him LIVE at UCONN several years ago. Nice to see him again in a setting he's comfortable with...perfect, really. 
Thank you, Rufus...till we meet again! :)

Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah (Live At The Fillmore) and Rufus Anew


~ Rufus Wainwright Then and Now ~
This is how I was introduced to Rufus Wainwright. I fell in love with his voice and this song. I watched this video over and over. Something happened not long after. I found that he was coming to UCONN  (University of Connecticut one hour from my house) so how could I not get tickets to see him? I got tickets and we did go to see him. It was thrilling!
The Jorgensen Theater at UCONN

And this is Rufus during last night's LIVE virtual concert at NY Winery in NYC. Quite a difference with all that facial hair, but he hasn't skipped a beat with his voice! He sounds exactly the same as 8 years ago.
He was singing "Hallelujah" as his curtain call!
Before that, he saved his most popular song and my personal favorite, "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk!" :) The crowd (people there because it was somewhat sparse) went crazy...you'd have to know his songs to be excited, but I was...the last 2 songs really made the concert and the night!

His hands are amazing - he plays with his eyes closed most of the time! :) Very talented.

He introduced a guest, Joan W. I apologize, he didn't pronounce her last name well enough for me to write it down, but it sounded like (Waston?)
He's very good with the guitar, too, and sang several songs playing at the mike.


This was so worth paying $35 for...he performed for 90 minutes but that was show #1.  The price includes tonight's late show with newer material...can't beat that! Can't wait! It was special to see and hear him sing again after all these years. 
Thank you, Rufus, see you tonight!
