#2425 "Sunset on Friday the 13th"

Sunset on Friday the 13th made me think of superstitions. Stevie Wonder maybe said it best. "When you believe in things That you don't understand Then you suffer Superstition ain't the way." I am not superstitious - touch wood. That particular superstition has its roots in ancient pagan cultures who worshipped and mythologised trees. They believed trees were oracles and were home to spirits and gods. I plant trees. They are my friends. I have some very old friends at the Singleton Sanctuary. 

• Very superstitious, writings on the wall, 
• Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall, 
• Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass 
• Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past 
• When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way. 

I am with Stevie on this... We saw him play that song and others at Queens University in the fall of 1972. Stevie and his band were remarkable and very professional. We had "Talking Book" along with other albums, in our collection. 

Now back to painting... 

I just loved the colours in the sunset sky. The Langmuir streaks were also evident in the surface of Singleton Lake. My friend Dale had the porch light on across the lake. There is never a dull moment in the natural or supernatural world.
