By Magical Madge 200 plein air paintings in 200 days. Really? Having taken up the paintbrush within the past year after a very long hiatus, I still can not fathom painting a plein air painting every single day for 200 days. Delta Artist Carol Roark, recently featured in Delta Magazine, did just that. Roark set […]

By Magical Madge What’s normal? I know I am not normal. But in this world “we all want something, but something’s never here. We pray. We smoke. We pill. We drink. We dope and we hope. That lights always fading, as we all attempt to cope, beneath the normal sky. Real love goes floating by. […]

POSSUM ON THE PASS
February 6, 2018 1 Comment
WATCH VIDEO While walking on the fabled Yazoo Pass this morning I came across an o’ possum trottin’, so I filmed him and made up a spontaneous poem while walking that would make Byron, Shelley and Keats nauseous.
