terraces

More from the moving bus window, on way to Kathmandu.

 There were some great looking rocks 

being smashed for gravel. & precarious

hillside villages with extensive terraces.

It seems many places claim the oldest terraces, 

these are in the Philippines

rough road

Two from the bus window, leaving Pokhara 

for Boudanath. Parts are very beautiful,

but its so hard (for me) to get good shots,
through glass on a bumpy road, dark day etc.
I doubt I'd ever have been up for riding on the roof.

wheel

Made a quick trip to see a dear friend;

it's so different to be in a big city,

after our dozy little town.

the tibetan wheel of life

monastery

Near the monks' quarters at a temple in Bangkok

One I'd have dearly loved to see in person,

1000 years of the Persian Book of Kings

goldleafed

From Thailand & Burma.

Sometimes the statues have so much gold leaf

you can barely see the original form.

oh to be in Paris, big shows of Gerhard Richter

at both the Louvre & Centre Pompidou

shell fan

At one stage I lived right at a beach, & collected

shells on my walks, I did a few paintings, & also painted

some on the furniture I was making at the time.

That is, a cabinet maker made them, I painted them,

Finished with high gloss, they were easier to sell,

though quite hard work. 

the daily ocean

sky mandala

Another of my painting from long ago, long before

computers. I mostly worked in gouache, its a little tricky 

when working for a few weeks, a sneeze can

take a long time to repair.

classic movies in miniature style

timetables

Posting some old work for while I'm away for a few days.

Back then I made a few small tables ~ timetables ~

with screenprints, collage & 3D elements, then 

added glass on top. This one had 

2 pieces that were collaged noses, I named it

'Time will Tell'. 

shadows ~ lots of interesting posts on this site

2 ways

Two paintings from the 1980's, don't know if I've put them

here before. The meditative chakra one was closer to my

interest, while the one of Jesus was at the suggestion of

a friend who thought ~ I don't know what exactly, except that

his interest must have been more this way.

I doubt whether this was what he meant, however..

the universe might not be the same all over

shells

Another of my older paintings, it came from

something I read about an experiment with sounds,

& how sound can make patterns.

how the universe works..

dark

This was a few days ago, there

has been a lot of wet & dark days, a bit of blue sky that day.

Right is a paperbark tree.

yellow

Wattle, left, is here in Byron Bay, the other flower

perhaps an orchid, was in Laos.

Every wet day should have some colour!

imagine the sound that arrived with this

mess

Saved this from my Nepal trip, even though its blurred,

out a bus window. That's what I would call a mess!

I like what the man's posture seems to say.

great photos: life on thin ice

birthday

My sister & I are celebrating our mother's birthday.

She would have been 94. 

another lovely lady

three

Made some large buddhas, by joining several photos 

together. All from south east asia.

tree faces

As you may have noticed, I enjoy to see faces in

the landscape. Do you?
