January 2007, The Month my Edward Hopper fasination began.

It was a saturday afternoon at work.I was on a much loved and needed lunch break.Time always seems to move at a distubing rate whilst pondering life and the lunch menu, in the form of the glorious and full of Omega 3 tuna and sweetcorn jacket potato or play it safe cheese .So as i plod along the lunch cue,gradually feeling that Pearsons Department store has got the better of me,and as always feared morfed me into one of their robotic customer assistant creatures.My eye captures this image,or should i say the image captured my eye.Saving me from this grey,colouless nightmere of work and jacket potatos.

What captivated me formost,is how very accurate the mood and expression mirrors the Pearsons employee whom walks through these lonely corridors each day.I saw myself in her isolated solitude,with her hazy focus engrossed on a cup of coffee,though her mind is dreaming of another place,or another worry.

The lonelyness is echoed through the isolation surrounding her,especially the dark,threatening chair,which looms ahead of her.The lights behind seemingly represent a way out,or a gateway to something more,though she has her back to the window,possibly to her way out of this sad isolated state which is ever so suffocating.I what her to peer round,and light the way to what lies beyond this bleak and utter darkness.You fear that she isn't ready as yet to lieve behind what has consumed her thoughts,her nightmeres,though i feel that one day the lady in green will peer round, showing us and herself what is beyond them lights.

It has taken me 9 weeks to get this blog up and running,it wasn't due to complete bone idle laziness(well actually it was small part lazyness big part computer illiterate).The computer and i have not been getting along as of late.It all started on one cold, stormy night in December,when i was watching The Wizard of Oz for the 172nd time.My Mother arrived home from work with a brand new shiney laptop for myself and my brother John.Well since this laptop arrived the main computer that i use has refused to work.Why this is i cannot say,but i assume jealously is involved here.I can understand why the computer would be deeply offended by this younger,thinner ,faster and more attractive model,but surely that doesn't give it the right to delete all of my art work,essays,photos and various other personal items that i would have liked to place onto my blog.
This left me hurt and rather sad,therefore i banned myself from the cyber world for awhile to give myself time to reflect over the loss of my work and the rejection of my computer.We had spent many years together,and i just don't know if i can create the same deep and meaningful relationship with this new laptop.Well I suppose only time will tell.
