The Art of Phil Blank
Comstock Lode
Goodbye Virginia City
And these tall Nevada pines
I’ll marry my soul to a ghost town
When I lay me down to die
Wisht I had a copper coin
For all the gold I’ve known
I’d trade it all to a highwayman
For a half a pint of rum
This old gold has took my soul
And left me for the tomb
I spent my last nickel on a whiskey still
What else would a miner do?
All I got’s this old grey mule
Two blankets & some rum
She rode me all the way to Reno
I’ll trade her for a pistol gun
Goodbye Virginia City
And these tall Nevada pines
I’ll marry my soul to a ghost town
Even though my son was born with a some-what large head which he gets from his big brained dad Phil Blank seems to be fixated on painting humans and animals alike with them as well. His art is quite imaginative and dreamy but also dabbles on the line of delusional. To top it off, Phil also has some excellent writing to go along with some of the paintings. Link
