As I was looking through a portfolio of my previous works I came across this charcoal drawing……….. Title : The Dance

Nearby to the “Discovered Place” (featured two posts earlier) is ………….Title : A New Platform By The River
For a long time I have wanted to add a song……..it is a song that can stay with you.
Fortunately there is no industry or pollution on the Nerang River and it is clean water.
Here it is…. Down By The River ………Albert Hammond

It is always exciting to find…………Title : A Discovered Place
However photographing this was another story. As you can see this is a composite image.
My faithful point and shoot Sony could not take all of this in one photograph so I needed to put it together myself.
Hope it works for you.

New painting………….Title : History Of The World – Part 1
An epic journey of small proportions.
This painting and the five that follow it are abstracted feelings of a cycle of evolutionary history of the world.
The complexity of the work enables closer examination which reveals passages of events similar, I feel, to a Hieronymus Bosch painting.
I vividly remember viewing the triptych Temptation of Saint Anthony as a highlight of my living in Lisbon, Portugal.
Remember it is a feeling……not content.

It was a memorable day but I found I started talking like him……..henceforth……”The Day I Met Shakespeare”
His thoughts on many things were enlightening particularly space travel.
Then he surprised with his final quote …….. “O, had I but followed the arts!”
Thank you Will!

Just 15 minutes from where I live is a different world. I had an appointment there yesterday and had a one hour wait time.
So I decided to have…………..A One Hour Mini Vacation
The sun, sand and fresh sea-breeze all contributed to make me feel I was on an exotic island a long way away.
There were sailboarders and kitesurfers soaring across the water.
It was magnificent……refreshing…..envigorating…..reviving!
Recommend if you can manage a one hour mini vacation…….TAKE IT!

On a recent morning bike ride I saw this unusual sight…………The Pelican Who Could Stand On Water
Everybody who passed had a similar reaction. But the pelican “stood” his ground…….as little as he had and did not move.
Could this be a lesson for today…..
If you see an opportunity ……no matter how small……take it.

When I first went to New York back in the 80’s nobody in Australia celebrated Halloween…….in fact most did not know what it was.
How that has changed.
Halloween this year had a different meaning when I was greeted by this beautiful supermarket check-out girl with devil horns and angel wings.
But on viewing the photo (which she gladly poses for) I realised that I was not the only one who received a big surprise.

New Image…………..Title : No Time For Madness – Well Maybe Just A Little
This image ….. an original charcoal drawing of mine…..went through a process of discovery on the computer.
It ended with this etching-like work. So maybe I can call it a digital etching.
The title…….well we all need a little madness in our lives……that’s what keeps us sane.
