Miss Otis Regrets
Acrylic on paper, 2012 (section)
Miss Otis Regrets
She’s unable to love today
Her purse with the pink dots was stolen yesterday
Or so she thinks
Tiger the bulldog misbehaved, bit into and ruined a shoe
And anyway it’s one of those cloudy days over Paris
à la couleur toute grise
Miss Otis regrets,
she’s unable to love today

Written and painted as a result of listening to the old jazz standard Miss Otis Regrets (sung by Maxine Sullivan, 1911-1987) today.

I love the imagery associated with your words. Nothing worse than a grey Paris!!
Love the song as well 🙂
