Avatar miscellany 4: Where did I get this bitching image?

Portsmouth NH! Ha! I do like your avatar Mr Still.

Still Water, 2001, 40" x 32", SOLD

Soon as I saw this I thought, 'We're on'. Had to crop it a little to fit A2K specifications. The Paul Simon thing has just been rattling around in my head for a while.

Your sig line is Paul Simon?

Word for word.....

'Graceland'

The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war

I'm going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow

I'm going to Graceland
Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow

In Graceland, in Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

Well, I preferred the prior one myself, if you don't mind my saying so.

Yeah - I liked the 'Special K' thing, but this seems to be a better fit right now.

Ah, anything's better than those damn chattering teeth you used to use.

And, the wine bottles were a little sad, somehow.

I have occasionally thought about bringing 'em out of retirement.........

which?

Nice avatar. It looks like fate intervened...you had no choice but to change.

Couldn't you pick an Aussie painting??

I see that among cane toads and rabbits, Aussie artists seem to be pests as well.

The teefs. Don't worry Roger you were in good company, Mizzes Lowan and Margo went to town on that one.....

I did revert to the wine motif briefly when CdK moved the site (1st/2nd time?). Wasted a lot of my employer's time trying to find animated gifs that fitted the A2K specs - in the end I found them too distracting.
