This collection of Urban Landscapes is drawn from a larger body of work called Darkscapes. They are moody evocative invitations into mystery and imagination taken from the ordinary things that make up the fabric of city life. Beauty is all around us if only we take the time to notice it. We all look but maybe we don’t all see. This collection of images is a way for me to share what I see with others. Deep in the Rocks I found this lovely illuminated window. The deco shape and style hark back to another time in Sydneys history. / . /

A field of wild poppies on fallow land near Karabogutlen, Turkey. A poppy is any of a number of colorful flowers, typically with one per stem, belonging to the poppy family. They include a number of attractive wildflower species with colorful flowers found growing singularly or in large groups; many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous border and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens. / / The flower color of poppy species include: white, pink, yellow, orange, red, and blue; some have dark center markings. The species that have been cultivated for many years also include many other colors ranging from dark solid colors to soft pastel shades. The center of the flower has a whorl of stamens surrounded by a cup- or bowl-shaped collection of four to six petals. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away. The pollen of the oriental poppy, Papaver orientale, is dark blue. The pollen of the field poppy or corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is dark blue to grey. Bees will use poppies as a pollen source. The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is grown for opium, opiates, or poppy seed for use in cooking and baking, for example poppy seed rolls, in addition growing for the decorative flowers.

Poppies have long been used as a symbol of both sleep and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of their (commonly) blood-red color. In Greco-Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead. Poppies are used as emblems on tombstones to symbolize eternal sleep. This aspect was used, fictionally, in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to create magical poppy fields, dangerous because they caused those who passed through them to sleep forever. A second meaning for the depiction and use of poppies in Greco-Roman myths is the symbolism of the bright scarlet colour as signifying the promise of resurrection after death The poppy of wartime remembrance is Papaver rhoeas, the red flowered Corn poppy. This poppy is a common weed in Europe and is found in many locations, including Flanders Fields. Canadian surgeon and soldier, John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields on May 3, 1915, after witnessing the death of his friend, Lt. Alexis Helmer. The opening line of the poem vividly describes the image of the poppies blowing in the wind amongst the many crosses that mark the resting places of fallen soldiers. In 1915 US professor Moina Michael inspired by the poem published a poem of her own in response, called We Shall Keep the Faith. In tribute to the opening lines of McCrae’s poem - “In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses row on row,” - Michael vowed to always wear a red poppy as a symbol of remembrance for those who served in the war.Thus the plant became a symbol for the dead World War I soldiers. In many Commonwealth countries, artificial, paper or plastic versions of this poppy are worn to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans and civilians in World War I and other wars, during the weeks preceding Remembrance Day on November 11. In the United States, it is common practice to wear “Buddy Poppies” (artificial, paper or plastic versions sold by the Veterans of Foreign War) during the weeks preceding Memorial Day, the last Monday in May to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans in the various wars; whereas Veterans Day on November 11 is used to honor “living” veterans. It has been adopted as a symbol by The Royal British Legion in their Poppy Appeal. In Canada, poppies are distributed by the Royal Canadian Legion and the Anavets organization each fall prior to Remembrance Day. The design of the Canadian poppy consists of petals made of red plastic with a felt lining and black centre held on by a pin. In 1980, the Royal Canadian Legion formed a committee to decide the future of the poppy and it was decided that the centre should be changed to green to represent the green fields of France. This proved unpopular with the Legion membership and the design was changed back in 1986. Unfortunately a large quantity of green felt had already been purchased and it was decided to keep producing the green centres until the supply of felt was exhausted. It took until 2002 for the green felt to run out and the traditional black centres reappeared. Those who were unaware or had forgotten that black centres had been used in the design of the poppy from its introduction in 1921 until 1980 found the change somewhat controversial. In New Zealand and Australia, plastic poppies are widely distributed by the Returned Services Association leading up to ANZAC day (April 25). The California poppy, Eschscholzia californica, is the state flower of California.

One of my all-time favorite Christmas images is the Kneeling Santa. I love it because it’s a much-needed reminder of just who Santa was—St. Nicholas, a 4th Century Bishop of Myra (present-day Turkey). Born into an affluent family, Nicholas was never attached to his wealth but gave generously to the poor, perhaps the most noted example being the time he saved three sisters from being sold into slavery by their destitute father who did not have the money needed for their wedding dowries. Nicholas went to their home and secretly left bags of money on three consecutive nights, enough for the sisters’ dowries, enough to save them from enslavement. Later in Nicholas’ life, he was imprisoned by the Emperor Diocletian who persecuted Christians. Since the 11th Century, his remains have been carefully preserved at the Basilica of St. Nicholas in Bari, Italy. In the 1950’s scientific experiments were conducted on the remains by anatomy professor Luigi Martino who reported from his findings that the person in question was an older man, 6 foot 5 inches tall, and very likely someone who had spent time in a damp jail, judging from the condition of the bones. In more recent years, Francesco Introna, professor of forensic pathology, did extensive studies on the skull and with the help of facial anthropologist, Dr. Caroline Wilkinson, fashioned a replica of what the person’s face would have looked it. Amazingly, it was very similar to traditional images of St. Nicholas done by iconographers. Introna and Wilkinson also discovered that the man under study had suffered a broken nose, which lined up with the historical data which indicated St. Nicholas had been tortured while in prison under Diocletian. (Information gleaned from “Better than Santa Claus” by Louise Perrotta; The Word Among Us; Advent 2008). Whatever the case, it is certain that St. Nicholas was a devout Christian, that he lived and died for Christ, and that had he been given the chance to be in the manger of Bethlehem, he undoubtedly would have knelt in love and adoration for the Christ Child. Hence, my deep love for this image. I bought this small statue recently, photographed the kneeling Santa adoring the Christ Child, and with PhotoShop came up with this rendition. Even Santa would agree that Jesus truly IS the reason for the season; it is His birthday, and He deserves our remembrance on His day just as any of us do on our date of birth. Merry Christmas to all!

Yet another example of one of my drawings combined with collage. I can’t get a decent scan of this, but you will get some idea from it. By the way, I did all the pen and ink work in the background too.
