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
