It’s Pride Month (unavoidably so on the internet, if utterly unnoticed here at my brother’s house, in Bristol, TN)…..all of which is fine with me. I think I’m old enough, at 63, to excuse myself from the giddy CELEBRATIONS(!), paint a bit, put on some music, and indulge myself in simply remembering.
The title is taken from a beautiful Nancy Lamott song (circa 1990). The lyrics make this painting utterly clear. Go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCXwneF3ASo
For further clarification, go to this clip (the final scene) from one of my favorite movies, “Parting Glances” ( the 1986 movie about a band of friends, covering the beyond harrowing, early years of the AIDS epidemic and its aftermath. I’m the same age as the protagonists.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQRdbaRzzTA
