I received a ceramic cheshire cat as a gift a few years ago. It lives in my studio and I have always liked it’s energy. Alice in Wonderland is a favorite story of mine, and a huge influence on my artwork. I also have “Six Bird Hunters in Full Camouflage” by James Christensen hanging in my house which certainly played a part in the direction of this piece. I felt the time had come to tie these influences together. I wanted to give a different spin to the Cheshire Cat character. In Alice in Wonderland, he is mischievous, almost menacing… this one is a little more friendly and forgiving. I also really enjoy the classic dichotomy between a cat and a goldfish. The fish always seems so helpless against the huge cat, but cats usually hate water, and therefore can’t really get after the fish. It’s a peculiar relationship. I wanted to create a delicate tension between the cat and fish that accentuates this situation, yet remains in a perfect balance. The cat looks so harmless with it’s sheepish grin, like it couldn’t hurt a fly, let alone a fish…yet, is he really? or is it all just for show? And the goldfish, he should be terrified in his position, but he has this arrogant, sort of cocky grin like he has nothing to fear and is on top of the world. Are these two friends? Or enemies? I’ll let you be the judge…

The ancestors of the beautiful Protea dates back to approximately 100 million years ago, and they are considered among the oldest families of plants on earth. Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern botany and plant taxonomy named this flower in 1735, after the Greek God, Proteus. In Greek mythology, Proteus had the ability to change shape and form at his will; hence the name given to these flowers with their diverse array of colours, shapes, textures and sizes. The average size of the flowering blossom is 6-8 inches, although I have seen some fully opened which are almost 12 inches. They are large and sensationally beautiful. © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau / Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 27 May 2008 17:51:37 / Tv 1/250 Av 4.5 Exposure Compensation -2/3 / ISO 200 Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 56.0 mm Protea cynaroides / Common Name: King Sugar Bush “The King Protea was originally from the Cape Town area of South Africa. It is actually the national flower of South Africa. Today King Proteas may be found all over the world where the atmosphere is dry and the soil has good drainage. They thrive upcountry in cooler temperatures on the western slopes of Haleakala here on Maui. The flower of the King Protea may be as large as 12 inches across. On the outside it has many stiff, pointed, narrow bracts, or petals, that give it the appearance of a cup. The bottom half of the petals starts out cream coloured or yellow, which transforms into bright pink or velvet red on the top half. Inside the cup is a mass of white stamen about 1-2 inches long which all curve towards the centre. The leaves look like flat spoons, or paddles, which grow alternately along the several stems of the plant. They are thick and stiff and round in appearance. Their petioles (leaf stems) are quite long, about 1-2 inches. Protea take moisture in through its leaves. The lovely Protea are valued for their decorative qualities. They dry very well and are commonly used as focal pieces in flower arrangements. It is said that Protea leaves are also used to make tea. Proteas live in a fragile environment. Of the 370 protea species, about 120 of them are listed as endangered. There are very few wild proteas anymore, most of them are now cultivated in greenhouses or nurseries.” Text by by Ben S. 2000

This pastel project was done to practice using just a few colours of pastel and a 6B Pencil to create the illusion that more colours were used. Done after the artwork of Joadoor Fabriano Paper / 6B Pencil / White, yellow, red soft pastels Loved doing this lion, pastels are so forgiving and can sometimes just surprise you with the end result
