The Greatest Distance
Today I post a quote…….my own quote….(apologies if someone else said it)
“The greatest distance we will ever travel is between our two ears”
Original artwork by Burgess 2011 (c)
and always remember
The greatest painting is still to be painted
The greatest artwork is still to be made
The greatest photograph is still to be taken
The greatest book is still to be written
The greatest love is still to be expressed

Early Studio Interior Painting
Something special to share with you……
I was delighted recently when someone who had bought a painting of mine at the beginning of my career sent me a copy of it.
It is oil on canvas.

Misty Morning Ride
Seduced by the morning sun and mist this beautiful creature did not seem concerned as I approached.
Unfortunately this was my last photo before my battery went flat.

Empty Street
Today is a special day here……a public holiday (Queen’s Birthday)
For me on my morning ride it provided a real opportunity to discover …………….”Empty Street”
This is such a rare event on this street…..equivalent to an eclipse of the moon…..
hence …….the darkness.
Hope you enjoy “Empty Street” as I did.

Another Figure Study
Exploring a new series of human movements I came up with this………..”Another Figure Study”
Please Note : This was a draft post done some time ago and finally posted by “accident” today.

Reaching
New Image……….. Titled – Reaching
Accident and mystery play a big part in my art. Both are combined here.
This artwork somehow reminds me a little of the great British Sculptor Henry Moore’s series of Tunnel Drawings made during WW2.

The Waterway
I began to wonder why I like this photograph and I think it is the juxtaposition of this man-made structure against nature that I find interesting. It is the long, straight and hard-edged sitting in an undulating, rounded and randomly placed tree surrounding……..with the vastness of the sky overpowering all.
Or maybe it is our subconscious mind reminding us of childhood memories of slippery dips and playgrounds…… or even present day yearnings for distant places.
How does it make you feel?

As you may be aware I have been wanting to include YOU in my art.
Well here is another attempt only this time you can join me on my morning ride.
You are SEEING my vision as I pedal along inside Glennon Park and if you keep your eyes open….
you will see…..
some of the School for Ibis members,
the Smokers Only area,
The Tree That Scored a Goal
Also note the description on YouTube
Here is the first attempt by artist R J Burgess at MOVING image making of Fine Art Proportions.
With just a hand-held camera and riding his pushbike here is his Cinematic Debut.
Critics may call it ground-breaking, an epic, a masterpiece or they might call it……..
You can decide for yourself……….I need to get back to MAKING ART!

Major and the Pony Club
The Pony Club
There are the most amazing discoveries to be made all around us.
With just 10 minutes bike ride I came across a local pony club meet.
As I approached a magnificent horse and rider exited the field and retired to a nearby enclosure.
I approached the owner/rider and she informed me her horse called “Major” had been disqualified because of a wrong bridle.
Major’s eye says it all as he looks back at the meet while his owner attempts to arrange for a new bridle.

This is a short movie titled …..”The River – Rapids”
Whilst I was riding this morning I came to this lovely part of the river and decided to set myself the task of
…..making a movie, editing it, and posting it here for you.
The above….made with my mobile phone and unedited…. is the result of all that…..
and I hope… for a brief moment…you can share this special place with me.
I wanted to include the intense sounds created by the birds and bubbling water.
