New ArtTraveler video of Scottish painter Gordon Wilson´s "Woman Loves Blue Fish" or, "I Love Fish" or "Fish Love Me" exhibition in Cómpeta, Spain, inspired by a 28-foot mural he did 12 years ago for a West Glasgow gangster. The mural dealt with esoteric subjects: "Food, Sex and Love."
You have an interesting history and I wish that at this moment, you were not a retired "public interest lawyer", as we are rather in need of those in the US. I also see you are a blues musician and I enjoyed a long career in the music industry, before mental disabilities took over. PTSD in particular, makes it hard for me to work around others. President Obama kindly responded to a letter I sent him regarding the cutbacks made for all people with disabilities, but especially for those with mental ones. These often make it hard for a person to find help in the first place.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I paint watercolours now - painting being my first passion at school and my escape. You have some wonderful pieces.
Wonderful read, thanks for sharing your personal history, that takes some courage, if you ask me.
