I used to run almost everyday – for 53 years – until the surgeon who replaced my right hip socket advised me against doing any more. I miss it, and the feeling of well being I felt afterwards – maybe a result of the adrenalin. So these days I get up early and walk the course of my shortest run around the neighbourhood. And my mind starts to wander at this slower pace. A version of this vision above, popped into my head the other day on my walk. Well, some of it anyway. Then as I started painting, more got added. It kept me occupied for a morning.
When I completed it, I googled ‘dog eats dog’ and unsurprisingly, it’s been painted before – but not in red stilettos (the dog’s not mine – mine are blue) Just dont ask questions it’s solely here for your amusement.
Other, less quirky, paintings are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com
Really cute pic aside, lol, I know what you mean missing something that made you feel so fit and well before. I missed the movement of a smooth run, and the clarity of mind after, only finding it here and there via shorter cardio routines at home; all the best Graham – it’s good we’re at least trying to stay fit, lol!

Thanks Felipe. As Joni said – You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.

Love it. I think it’s the first time I see a whimsical side of your art work Graham! Joni was right of course! …as we age, we lose more than just our ability to run for miles. 😉

Thanks Louise – glad you like it. I have posted other surreal work before, as I tend to go through different phases. And as we age we lose more and more – hair and teeth in my case.

I love it, Graham! And I feel you on the running euphoria, this old body can’t do what it used to, but as long as I have my imagination, I’m okay!

Trouble is, the memory starts to go. It’s a slow shutdown.
