18×24 colored pencil. The original is sold. Multiple views of the Clouded Leopard, which shows the beautiful patterns on the coat (one of the reasons it’s on the endangered species list). These cats are not as big as most of the “big cats”. They’re about the size of a German Shepherd, give or take.. but they do have the LARGEST canines (some measured at 9”) of all the big cats in comparison to their body size. Because the Clouded Leopard’s habits make it difficult to study, reliable estimates of its population do not exist. Habitat loss due to widespread deforestation and hunting for use in Chinese medicinal preparations are thought to be causing populations of the Clouded Leopard to decline. Only six Clouded Leopards have ever been radio collared and their territorial movements monitored and recorded by scientists using radio telemetry. All of these cats were studied within Thailand. Almost all that is known of the Clouded Leopard today comes from studies of the cats in captivity. Apart from anecdotal accounts very little is known of the Clouded Leopard’s natural history, ecology and behaviour in the wild throughout its range. CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, lists the Clouded Leopard as an Appendix I species. This means that the Clouded Leopard is among the most endangered of all species. CITES prohibits international trade of Appendix I species except for singularly important reasons such as scientific research. The United States also lists the Clouded Leopard under the Endangered Species Act, further prohibiting trade in the animals or any parts or products made from them. In the countries of its native range, hunting of the Clouded Leopard is prohibited, however these bans are poorly enforced. (info from Wikipedia) Complete 2002

Piazza San Marco Venice. Looking away from the sqaure and the coffee drinkers below I saw that some people, despite the history, despite the architechture and the Gondolas, still had work to do.

Acrylic on canvas. 2000×600mm / Original $750 + p&p This is part of a triptych in response to the Trinity Triptych. This time exploring the absence of light in the consious, superconscious and subconscious. Unfortunately I cant photograph the remaining two adequately – they are too dark to reproduce well.

Castle of Tournon sur Rhône, France. / The beautiful Hélène de Tournon died from sorrow of love. This dramatic episode is reported in the ” Memoirs of queen Margot. ” / Shakespeare would have acquainted with it and would have been inspired by it for the character of Ophélie in Hamlet…
Behind, it was you / And in between / This thickness We knew how to find / the way to miss each other / Without harm Behind it all / And this spasm / of you / and I I’ll attach your absence / to my esence / safe in flames i´ll dissect / in drawings / and stelae a body your body / released at random ambivalent

BEST VIEWED LARGE The red light depicts stopping the evil actions if you want a better life. Edwin Starr / OR / Smile Empty Soul / OR / Chris Rock / MCN:C5278-CD4BC-B8EED The Absence Of Light (Unconsciously Being) depicts: A personality that loses touch with its soul, that loses the source of its Light, is a personality that has become capable of what we call evil, as represented by the blackness. What we call evil is the absence of light – of love, in all cases. When we speak poetically of Light we associate it with purity, insight, and Divine inspiration, however this type of Light is not merely poetical. It is real. A soul can find it difficult to walk the way of Light through the course of an incarnation. It can find that learning to live In Light is a difficult sojourn. Through the choices that it makes while it is incarnate upon the Earth – the choice of anger instead of forgiveness, for example, or condemnation instead of understanding – a soul accumulates negative karma. As it leaves its body, it remains enveloped with the quality of Light that it acquired through the choices that it made while it was upon the Earth. When that soul has to create another personality, it will have to create a personality that is drawn from this well. Therefore, it will create a personality of more limitations. A personality with limitations of consciousness will find what we call evil more attractive than will one with a more expanded awareness. The temptation to walk that way will be strong for such a personality. All souls are tempted, but an individual with limitations of consciousness will find it more attractive to walk into the magnetic field of fear because it would not recognize fear for what it is. It would accept it as something else, as something that is normal to Life. How we understand evil, therefore, is very significant. Evil needs to be understood for what it is: the dynamic of the absence of Light. It is not something that one should prepare to battle, to run from or to outlaw. Understanding evil as the absence of Light automatically requires that we reach for this thing called Light. ……………………………………………………………………… What is the appropriate response to evil? The remedy for an absence is a presence. Evil is an absence and, therefore, it cannot be healed with an absence. By hating evil, or one who is engaged in evil, you contribute to the absence of Light, and not to its presence. Hatred of evil does not diminish evil, it increases it. The absence of Light causes the personality to suffer. There is pain. When you hate, you bring the same suffering upon yourself. Hatred of evil affects the one who hates. It makes him or her a hateful person, a person who also has absented himself or herself from the Light. The above is an excerpt from The Seat Of The Soul by Gary Zukav
The Role of Light to Sight / — / The bottom line is: without light, there would be no sight. / The visual ability of humans and other animals is the result of the complex interaction of light, eyes and brain. / We are able to see because light from an object can move through space and reach our eyes. / Once light reaches our eyes, signals are sent to our brain, and our brain deciphers the information in order to detect the appearance, location and movement of the objects we are sighting at. / The whole process, as complex as it is, would not be possible if it were not for the presence of light. / Without light, there would be no sight.
