The two sisters
Sisters sometimes have a turbulent relationship, sometimes as peaceful as the moon over the sea. A lot depends on which way you choose to view. A series currently in the creation, only to be made good during the correct moonphase.
Thank you, Goya
Or how a learning tool can add to the interior decor. A transcription of a very famous painting can develop into its own work of art, loved & well travelled. Currently residing with the Bolsovers, USA
The white bull
The bull passes, barely acknowledging its admirer. If it deigns to look your way, beware the frost-rimed tang of ibreath. Ages have passed by these eyes.
The Minotaur
This one is actually the elder brother, more breadth.
Fut in gorse covert
Those who knew him would understand why he deserves mention.
The Orator (cropped image)
This view is of the work in progress. The Orator, explores the relationship between the orator and the audience. Further tales of the Orator were shown at Common Ground in March '09.
Minotaur in stripes
The story of the minotaur and how he came into being has fascinated me for many years. How did his parents relate? Did they share parenting? Were there actually siblings who managed to avoid the publicity? This to me is how the minotaur might have managed incognito ... would you have looked twice?
Habibi
This artwork is a glimpse into the relationships of the wider world. Whether it makes you think of summer days spent cloud watching on hillsides, or the vibrant energy of busy city streets - both are OK and equally valid.
Kartane
Snowflakes fall in the Middle East, are they made welcome.
