Autumn Takes

Autumn Takes ; text and drawing by  Thomas J Nixon . Beloved pets celebrate the unlucky 13 th birthdays . Autumn leaves float away on the spirits currents of these loved ones .  A bright blaze of fire slackens and darkens to an afternoon sun to soon set . Darkness expunges all to quite shadows dancing on tomorrows walls of confining entrapment . i scream to stop their passing .

The Hours

The final painting in  my painting series on Caregiving . Title ; The Hours . Oil painting on wood . 20"x 30"   . Painting and text by Thomas J . Nixon  . The hours  ; The falling april snows glisten in bright yellow morning sunshine . Life is progressing on this planet in a clear glass globe shaken up and turned right side up again . Lives shaken up settle like white snow flakes taking up root where they melt on landfall  . Spring birds sing their songs loudly to carry on their life line . It is now that memories of my times with you  flood my thoughts of  like waters shedding off hillsides . When in ruins your castle stood your foundation was made of granite . When cancer attacked you bravely and strong  you faced life's final battles .  Clearly now i remember  her voice asking me " Do you know what a yidden is ? i always replied " i  know     you !!  Now days i find new purpose and sing with the birds of spring .

Dark Waltzing the Seasons Together ; oil painting and text by thomas j nixon

We reside  on the precipice of constant awareness  of  limited time together . Nevertheless  the houses of our spirits trudge  ahead on corse to their own demise . One , two , three  , one , two , three ,  dark waltzing the seasons together . Our stardust never deceases and will constantly catapult amongst light beams and other energies dark waltzing seasons forever . 

Caregivers Prayer text and 20 x 30 oil painting on wood , by thomas j nixon

Caregivers Prayer ; i will help you wash your hands with warm water and soap . Your daily troubles collect on soapy iridescent  bubbles and flow down the wash basin drain . All will be well , all will be right , one more day and perhaps a night .
