145×145 cm, oil on canvas, 2007, private collection South Australia I worked for a month at this portrait, the longest I have ever worked on any painting. I achieved the expression from the beginning, but the problem was the resemblance with the subject on such a large size painting, when my studio wasn’t too large and didn’t allow to see this from the distance. The portrait was very successful, it was sold even before the opening. Many people asked about it, and because it was sold they bought the other portrait I had in the exhibition… twice! That’s right, the other painting, “Capriccio” was sold twice by mistake. Imagine the disappointment of the young couple who found out the second day they payed for a painting which had been sold already. I succeeded in convincing these people that I can manage to do the painting again. If it was “Adagio” I would have never attempted. But it looked much easier to do Capriccio. Doing a portrait twice is tricky, and I was sure very happy when it was finished.

This image was taken on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the Amex Building in New York. People were drawn to the view of the rebuilding of Ground Zero and were speaking so softly. Concurrent to the silent viewing is the incredible acitivity of rebuilding taking place in the area itself. Originally the glass wall seen here was opaque (marble, i think) but when the repairs were made to the building the marble was removed so that people could view Ground Zero. Shot taken with my little digital camera that i have since lost!

Oil Pastel And Acrylic And Minor Digital Enhancements Concept: This is one of the many in Ophelia’s Love Encounters Series, it’s her experience of many facets of this wonderful thing called LOVE.. This is what she has to say about love today : “Love means being surrounded by redbubblers everyday.” Time rockets! Had some pockets of reflection and guess what…have been here on RB for 2 months already, I just entered my 3rd month :D Life on RB has been so enjoyable and enriching for me but I have one major regret. That is I should have joined much earlier. I remembered when I first joined this community, Fa assured me that this is the most vibrant online community that she has ever experienced and that I would enjoy my stay here…and of course, she’s right!! As I am staying in a foreign country(I’m a Singaporean living in Thailand) and working alone most of the times, RB has given me much support in terms of creative expression and a great pool of friends whom I know care for me. I wouldnt dare ask for more :D Truly grateful for all the friends whom I have made over these months,friends who have constantly provided feedback and comments to my work, both here and in my smile4me gallery, who have favorited my works and exchanged numerous bmails with..I owe my beautiful stay in RB to all of you! This little piece of artwork is me saying THANK YOU to all you beautiful people out there!! :D /

This is for my weather project, representing….rain! Hehe. This was quite fun. / I miss you so much, I miss your touch / And the way you hate me / And the calloused skin is wearing thin / And now I can’t breathe / After all I’ve said you should understand / After all I’ve said you should understand / It’s the wait that kills me
There is emptiness. Full of longing. Full of bubbles of the thread of light that glistens with no purpose except to be. The fullness is vague, confusing, eternally too big for me to see. Yet it is too small to hold. The air folds over into water and sand. The lava of life force drains into ponds of music. This matter glows with patterns of color and shadow. / It is not empty at all. I look as hard as I can and search for a direction. All I see is a door. Then two doors. Closed for now. Yet is anything really closed? Is it really a door? Or is it an idea I have formed? Is it just a different kind of space? The space around me whirls in my eyes to my hands to my brain to my ears that hear the tinkle tinkle tinkle of a wind chime that clatters on the door frame and spills to the window and binds me with the surroundings which are everywhere and everything. Moving is constant even when I stay still. Trying to focus. Trying to try. Then giving up. And just enjoying the blue glow and the odor of coffee and the sound of a whisper and the feel of cotton and the breath of loved ones here and there and nowhere and everywhere and the speech of a song’s lyrics that reverberates in my head, brain, and every cell that swims with the tide of openness and freedom and compassion and knowledge and gratitude. / And all I can say, in my lack of understanding, is “thank you.” Door Waiting to Open is acrylic paint, gesso, India ink and marking pen on poster board 15”x20”
Walking quietly, he crept along the hidden harbor lights and blew them out. One by one. He slid between wood and water and felt for dry land. His fingers slipped through sand that trickled across his chest, down his pant legs and onto the boardwalk. He looked up and saw, through beams of fog, through wedges of flashing light, through fluttering wings of either angels or doves or pigeons, saw through countless pillows of resentment that had curdled into anger, saw through pangs of love lost and love found and love forgotten and love unappreciated and love lust love lust love lust, saw through the eyelids of the being he was born as that he had not remembered until this second, and saw saw saw the boat come in. It was a sad little ship. Yet it was just right for him. Perfect. And he was glad he had waited. Now he could sail. “Boat Has Landed” is acrylic and gesso on heavy paper 15”x20”

I had such a sense of this warrior, his great grace and strength in God.

Letting go to swim in the heat of day I jump, frown, feel dizzy and hold onto the side of a doorway. As if I will fall. Or maybe the door is falling. I am only threading a needle with time and hoping today with be tomorrow and yet then it will be too soon. I feel as if I’m hanging on by a thread. And the next day is similar. I don’t understand what is the problem. Then I realize there really isn’t one. So it’s OK. I can let go of the thin safe string and drift out to sea or to the clouds or just across the street or inward to a place of forever color and never ending sign posts leading to my soul. / Hanging on by a Thread is acrylic, gesso, ink on canvas 30 in.
