volcano

It was good to hear today that friends in Chile are safe,

& so far unaffected by the volcano eruption. There's some

amazing shots on thebigpicture, but I haven't figured out

how to add a link on Safari, unless I open an email with links.

Anyway you no doubt saw them before I did.

here's some from Iceland

lizard

Haven't seen this guy for a while, I wonder where

they go when it's cold? It is cold ~ for here.

I like winter for hiding snakes.

Have been working all day for several days, no time on

web, no time for blog .. etc.. it's good.

all my books

Here are all 5 of my books:

Images from the I Ching was the first, you may still find

used copies. 64 paintings of the hexagrams, I also wrote

the comment on each, Ralph Metzner wrote the foreword.

Published by Craftsman House.

A Family Frying Pan was the 3rd book, I illustrated

Bryce Courtenay's stories

Before that I illustrated A Recipe for Dreaming,

with small paintings, words by Bryce Courtenay,

& several years later we did another edition, this time with

my altered photographs; the 2nd edition top was published by

Penguin, (still available), while the 1st edition above is

no doubt available at Australian 2nd hand booksellers.

My 5th book is Burning Questions, it's available from

here ~ where you can also see further pages, they are

mostly my paintings, a few photographs,

Isaac Shapiro's words. You can also purchase from

his website

estuary

Two different rivers just before they reach the sea,

I like their changing moods/tides. Am so involved

with making new pictures, the words are scrambled.

It's like meditation, all the words/thoughts drop out,

though there's still functioning when necessary.

the starn twins

sunset

2 nights ago, I think it was, a very dramatic

sunset, followed swiftly by a big storm.

Winter is supposed to be fine sunny days &

cold nights, but it is still raining a lot.

Can't see how to open Safari in 2 windows,

so its too hard to add links, a list at right though.

just here

clockwise: nasturtium leaf, a large spider at my door,

the seed stems of the tiger (or zebra?) grass.

I photographed it with paper beneath it, for the shadows,

while I got lots more dappled sunlight for use in

the new images. Luckily, as there was no sun today.

leaf-ing

3 new ones, they look good, big; I am also selling them

as limited edition prints, so small is what you get here.

More details by email (see under about me in right column)

have never done luxury travel, but if I did,

these people look good
