Monday I had one of the most bizarre experiences of my life…….a coronary angiogram.
Basically this is where a small tube is inserted in your wrist and then proceeds to move into your heart and completely check it out.
You are awake the whole time. Fortunately there is little pain but I could not help feeling the awesomeness of the whole thing……a modern miracle!
Outcome : I am ok but………. My Heart’s No Secret Anymore

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.

Following yesterday’s post I put together a short movie highlighting “Pronking”.
Pronking is the jumping movement made by the Springbok Antilopes of South Africa.
I decided to do a little extra “pronking” myself with the movie.
Hope you enjoy it.
Also ……you might hear a song they were playing at the time……it is “Because I Love You” by Masters Apprentices.

An unplanned countdown began four days ago. Here is the final image…..
Title : One Ball, A Chair And A Lot Of Art
Countdown to what?….. I am asking the same question.
But one thing I am sure of in life…….nothing happens without a reason!

New photo image……….. Title : The School Of Bus Stops’
I guess I should explain this image a little.
It started when I saw two school girls sitting on the grass waiting for a bus. It is an unmarked bus stop.
Somehow one of my favorite paintings by Raphael……The School Of Athens got involved.
You can see what happened……..

Today I found the…………Title : Discoveries Of An Alchemist
Alchemists have historically rewritten and evolved the explanation of their art, making a single definition difficult.
Alchemy has had a long standing relationship with art, seen both in alchemical texts and in mainstream entertainment. Literary alchemy appears throughout the history of English literature from Shakespeare to J. K. Rowling. Here, characters or plot structure follow an alchemical magnum opus. In the 14th century, Chaucer began a trend of alchemical satire that can still be seen in recent fantasy works like those of Terry Pratchett.
Visual artists had a similar relationship with alchemy. While some of them used alchemy as a source of satire, others worked with the alchemists themselves or integrated alchemical thought or symbols in their work. Music was also present in the works of alchemists and continues to influence popular performers. In the last hundred years, alchemists have been portrayed in a magical and spagyric role in fantasy fiction, film, television, comics and video games.

Magic is everywhere in the world…….even when you least expect it.
I did not expect to find ……… Title : The Magic Mountain
But what amazed me most was the Classical / Turner-like landscape at the rear of the picture and the distinctive contrast with the stark, reductive foreground.
