/ “Jonagold 3 is part of the Portfolio Collection, which has three websites devoted to it alone...acrylic on canvas… the following is an excerpt from my Blog “The Journey”, which describes the process of creating this collection…a few samples are shown below…click on each to see the original page… Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind, as a steady purpose….a point on which the soul may fix it’s intellectual eye”.....Mary Shelley. Since the first of this series “Still Life with Mandarins”, emerged, I have been deliberately making the symbolic backgrounds of seasons, land, sea, sky, man, his work, etc. etc. more and more stylized….the subject matter however, I want to keep very real. I like the fruit to look ripe and juicy, as if you could pull it right off the canvas ...... In this way I can escape falling into the trap of the painter as moralist. I still want the work to be decorative….the kind of thing I would want to, and indeed have, hanging in my own home. ....what’s more I would like to involve the viewer in a dialogue with the work ..... No two paintings are alike and I will make sure that they never will be. One thing they do have in common, is the very dark ebb and flow, that swirls around the subject area of the painting…..and again this will be different with each painting .... Laurie Lee’s lyrical words, speak to all of my work during these last few months. Behold the apples’ rounded worlds: juice-green of July rain, the black polestar of flowers, the rind mapped with its crimson stain. / The russet, crab and cottage, red burn to the sun’s hot brass, then drop like sweat from every branch and bubble in the grass. / They lie as wanton as they fall, and where they fall and break, the waltzing wasp consumes his share, the bent worm enters in. / / / / /

/ “Fragments” is part of the India collection... hand painted with watercolours, inks, dyes and gold leaf on a fragment of fabric, to symbolize not only the decorative patterns of India, but as the poem reads, the “fragments of reality” that weave through the “fabrics of the mind” ..see others from the collection below…click on each image to view the enlarged version… There was a time when I loved / The fantastic fabrics of the mind. / There was a time / When I lived my life / Based on culled fictions. / There was a time / When I was satisfied / With a fragment of reality, / Splintered, broken and smashed. / But now a lucid illumination / Steals into my heart. / The eternal Presence / Of Infinity’s Light / Feeds my Vision’s Dawn..Sri Chinmoy / / / /
