I sit here today, all by myself with plenty of thoughts in my head. This was a thought on paper. I don’t know what it means, but I think it’s pretty darn cool. Enjoi!

“There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.” / - Walter Cronkite
German version: Der Schlüssel / Im strahlenden Licht da wandelst du, / deine wunde, geschundene Seele kommt nun endlich wieder zur Ruh’. Dein Herz mit all seiner Liebe spricht, / und endlich das Lächeln erstrahlt auf deinem Gesicht. Die Wahrheit spürst du tief in dir, / deine stillen Gebete, deine Rufe um Hilfe – sie gelangten zu mir. Die Zeit der Prüfung war hart und schwer, / du fühltest dich einsam, müde und ach so leer. Schier zerbrochen bist du an all deinen Ängsten und Plagen, / dich quälten immerzu tausende von Fragen. Frei davon bist du noch lange nicht, / und dennoch willst du es entzünden, dein strahlendes Licht. Der Engel in dir, der ruft nach mir, / denn ich bin bei dir … so glaube mir. Geh’ deinen Weg mit Sorgfalt und erwecke deine Kraft, / hab keine Angst wenn andere sprechen von “großer Macht”. Die Macht die gemeint ist, ist das schimmernde Licht, / es ist die Liebe, die aus dir spricht. Vertraue Dir und deinem ICH! / Sag dir ein ums andere mal: Ich liebe Mich! Die Liebe zu Dir ist der Schlüssel für Dich / und irgendwann … da erkennst du auch Mich. * / English version: The key In the beaming light there thou stroll’st, / thy sore, oppressed soul finally comes to a rest. Thy heart with all its love now talks, / and ultimately thy smile enlightens thy face again. The truth thou can feel now deep inside of thee, / thy silent prayers, thy calls for help – they’ve reached me. The testing time was hard and difficult … / often thou did feel so alone, tired and hollow within. Thou nearly broke under the heap of thy fears and sorrow, / and thy soul was tortured by so many questions… Not free of it thou are’st now – nor will you be for a bit of time, / but nonetheless thou are willing to ignite the shining light. The angel in thee – he calls for me, / as I am with thee … just believe in me. Walk thy path with care and arouse thy strength, / don’t be afraid when others talk about „mighty power“ . The power meant … is the shimmering light, / it is the love speaking out of thy shining soul. Trust in thyself and thy INNER child! / Keep saying again and again: I am loving myself! The love for thee is the key for thyself / and somewhen … thou will even be able to recognize me. * / Photograph inspired by the words – written by me! /

This is a splintering, old red door on a ranch in rural Texas. I’m not sure what’s behind that locked door, but I’m kind of curious…

Olympus SP560UZ compact / f/5 / 1/640 sec / ISO-50 / 12mm A wonderful gate captured on a first visit to the lovely Chatelherault Country Park in Hamilton, in central Scotland. I’ve just tweaked the grey gate a little to add a little more light and definition, using PS Elements 6 and the handy tool of a Scott Kelby book recommended by the fantasic photographer Chris Clark Thanks Chris I really appreciate your kindness! For me its a one off and a bit different to the usual..so any feedback is especially welcome / cheers / ding / ;))

/ “Door #4” is part of the Collection “Everyday Things” and is of course the fourth door…like Doors 1 and 2, it is not a painting, but a drawing, this time in Conte crayon…I love door knockers and refuse to add a bell to my front door…I polish mine so that it shines a welcome to all, but I made this one a bit oxidized, a little verdigrised to add some texture and interest to the painting…I never want to make it too literal... Conte crayon drawing on Clayboard Knock with tremor.. / These are Caesars.. / Should they be at Home / Flee as if you trod unthinking / On the Foot of Doom These receded to accostal / Centuries ago.. / Should they rend you with “How are you” / What have you to show?

/ I find the patina of age very intriguing and exciting to recreate in paint…I always have cuts of MDF and Masonite primed with gesso waiting in the wings, ready for when inspiration hits me…lately I’ve been preoccupied with doors and things to do with doors….I made this door old…very old…it has withstood the test of time and all kinds of weather and has been painted many times, attesting to a tale of many owners…lately someone dressed it with a shiny new red door knob…why? if it could talk it would tell many stories.... Watercolour with Acrylic on Gessoed Masonite “Too little has been said of the door / It’s one face turned to the night’s downpour / It’s other to the shift and glisten of firelight”...excerpt Charles Tomlinson / Door #6 / Door#5 / Door #4 / Door#3 / Door #2 / Door #1

Visiting and dreaming / Are the realities of the hope-world. / Crying and obtaining / Are the realities of the prayer-world. / Silencing and becoming / Are the realities of the meditation-world.Sri Chinmoy “Realities” is a collaborative work based on the wonderful photography of Eric Thom, but also includes my Clematis prints…see links below…although Eric’s photos are images of doors and windows of buildings, I saw them as more than that…I decided to create a collage of transfer prints to give the illusion of the interior of a place of worship, with light pouring in on those who come to meditate…..the large shape on the right is symbolic of all the floral tributes we make at the important events in our lives…Sri Chinmoys verse expresses all that the painting is meant to convey / / Inks and Bleach Pen on Saunders Hot Press Paper Eric Thom Advance You Really Don’t Want In Barrier To The Outside
