Some Early Lucian Freud.

I love all of Freud's work, he really is our greatest living artist. His early portraits are probably my favourite, they have a very flat quality, and i don't mean that in a derogatory sense, his early work is very similar to Frida Kahlo's work too.

Beautiful colours, amazing eyes and a hauting illustrativative quality. You go Freud.













And here's Freud as a young man. What a babe.

.

you can draw like my father, but he has eyes like my mother and baby nothing can compare with that.

Creative Writing Elective.

I've just finished my creative writing elective. My final story was a folk tale about a fox who turns in to a beautiful woman and marries a hunter. The couple have a child and are happy until the hunter presents his wife with a fox stole as a gift, the wife looses her mind at the sight of the fox's body and kills and partially eats her son, she then shoots herself with her husbands gun. Her corpse is in her fox form. The story is based on old folk tales about fox women and was also inspired by songs by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Leonard Cohen. It was also heavily inspire by the childrens book "Mary and the Wild Cat".



"Aedh Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven" By W.B Yeats

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

Such a beautiful poem.
