It all started with a TV screen shot. I got then inspired to start a series of compositions called The colours of love. This is the first in this series and it uses that screen shot I mentioned. Hope you’ll all enjoy it. / / It would be such a pity to leave without a comment. Like it? Say so. Don’t like it? Say so too! With a bang, if that fits your style. I’d rather leave a negative impression (on someone) than nothing at all. DullandBoring is NOT my middle name. Neither my last (I knew you’d probably say that!) As for the first name, it’s on the front page. / / So, please go ahead and make my day! Thank you so very much. / / . / Please view also my other work.. / / Thank you for visiting.

Another image taken yesterday at the local beach, it’s quite simplistic really so I would love to hear some opinions.

Not a “pretty” painting and it’s never has been shown much until its recent inclusion in a current show. The young man has tremendous baggage. Pursed lips conceal bad teeth. The blue of his stained “fast food” shirt squabbles with the blue of his coat. He works two jobs. The inexpensive earring is a small conceit, His disease is held to be his own fault by most and it’s wide spread and untreated where he lives in West Virginia. Simply put it is the kind of poverty that affects the working poor. I carry the words of a woman from that area who spoke on the subject and its stigma during the Great Depression; abandoned by her husband she said, “Here I am. Dirty..smelly, with no proper underwear ‘neath this rotting dress. The stench of my teeth makes me sick. They’re decaying, but they’ll never be fixed. That takes money. Poverty is dirt. You may say, in your spick and span surroundings, “Anybody can be clean!” Let me explain housekeeping without money. For breakfast, I give my children grits with no margarine, or cornbread made without eggs or oleo. What dishes there are, I wash in cold water. No soap. Even the cheapest soap is used for the baby’s makeshift diapers. Look at these cracked, red hands. Every day I have to decide whether I can bear to put these burning, sore hands into that cold water and strong soap. Why don’t I use hot water? Hot water is a luxury. We don’t have luxuries. Poverty is staying up all night when it is cold, watching our feeble fire; a stray spark would ignite our newspaper walls letting us die in the flames. In the summer, poverty is letting gnats and flies drink my baby’s tears.” The fry cook came to my attention because of his kindness to another and painting him was a catharsis. He was kind and generous within his limited means to a young woman who had lost her twin two year old sons in a house fire there after Christmas some years ago. A very personal hero because the woman was my daughter and the boys were my grandsons. Acrylic on linen covered panel

“Ghost in the Machine” was the title of a book authored by Arthur Koestler. Koestler claims that mankind is moving towards self-destruction. Koestler states that the human brain is built upon primitive brain structures, and that these are the “ghost in the machine”. At times these structures can overpower higher logical functions, and are responsible for hate, anger and other such destructive impulses. The Police titled their 1981 album “Ghost in the Machine”. This is where I first heard of this concept. My t-shirt design interpretation of this attempts to graphically represent that man made machines manifest behaviours or events that cannot be explained. These behaviours or events are not programmed, they are the product of the machine taking its own course. These are reflections of our primitive destructive impluses within the machines that we have created…. as the machines are a reflection of us, they are likely to display self destructive behaviour just as we do…..

Chefchaouen is a city in northwest Morocco. It is the chief town of the province of the same name. Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains, just inland from Tangier and Tetouan. The city was founded in 1471, as a small fortress which still exists to this day, by Moorish exiles from Spain to fight the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco. It was known as one of the main concentrations of Moriscos and Jews who sought refuge in this mountainous city after the Spanish Reconquista in medieval times. In 1920, the Spanish seized Chefchaouen to form part of Spanish Morocco. They returned the city after the independence of Morocco in 1956. The name ‘Chefchaouen’ refers to the shapes of the mountain tops that tower over the town, that look like the two horns (chaoua) of a goat. It literally means “look at the horns”. The blue-rinsed houses and buildings, are a tradition that comes from the town’s former Jewish population.

This is the actual shape of the canvas The shape of the canvas becomes an integral part of this painting to enhance the illusion of a three dimensional object. / “Metaphor For A Metaphor” is about our predilection for categorizing everything that we experience, whether it fits into our scheme of things or not. And then, ultimately, resorting to using metaphors when we can’t.. / Hence the box which is distorted out of context… The round peg into a square hole that we seem to love the most….
