This painting was created today to Illustrate the poem by Sara Teasdale…see my writing pages…A Winter Night My window-pane is starred with frost, / The world is bitter cold to-night, / The moon is cruel, and the wind / Is like a two-edged sword to smite. / God pity all the homeless ones, / The beggars pacing to and fro. / God pity all the poor to-night / Who walk the lamp-lit streets of snow. / My room is like a bit of June, / Warm and close-curtained fold on fold, / But somewhere, like a homeless child, / My heart is crying in the cold. Watercolour on Fabriano Paper…

/ “Avocado at The George St Market” is part of the portfolio collection and illustrates a short fiction thriller in my writing pages…the original has been sold…Acrylic on Canvas.

/ “Ambrosia” is part of the Gallery collection from my Portfolio...Acrylic on Canvas….Three ambrosia apples on a Fantasy Landscape background ...more of the collection below… Since it’s winter, I used teals and greeny blues in this landscape…cooler colours to echo the time of the year, but the bold red and yellow tones in the Ambrosia apples, bring a feeling of warmth, like sitting cosily near to a fire. When the painting was completed, I saw the Etruscan towers of San Gimignano echoed in the landscape, so the poem “he and the Hilltown” seemed very appropriate. And then the topmost square with church or water towers / a dance of bustling shops and sparkling language banter / and every crevice cranny bosoming out with flowers / a busy-ness of purpose and a heart’s enchanter / (the sun distributes gold – allows the blood to saunter) / the bricks of buildings glow with centuries of nous / as though the wisest grape best pours from this decanter / both tempered peace and passion welter in its throes / and fountain sprays refract what such life knows. / Rg. Gregory…..he and the Hilltown / / / /

/ “Peach with Half” is part of the Portfolio, Texture, Tropics and Food Collections..Acrylic on Canvas… The ripest peach is highest on the tree— / And so her love, beyond the reach of me, / Is dearest in my sight. Sweet breezes, bow / Her heart down to me where I worship now! / She looms aloft where every eye may see / The ripest peach is highest on the tree. / Such fruitage as her love I know, alas! / I may not reach here from the orchard grass. / I drink the sunshine showered past her lips / As roses drain the dewdrop as it drips. / The ripest peach is highest on the tree, / And so mine eyes gaze upward eagerly. / Why, why do I not turn away in wrath / And pluck some heart here hanging in my path? / Love’s lower boughs bend with them.. but, ah me! / The ripest peach is highest on the tree! J. Riley / / / / /

/ “Blueberry Tart” came into being this weekend….I was leafing through old magazines looking for recipes to tear out before discarding, and there and then a new series called “Delicious” was born…it will tie in with my Portfolio and Abundance collections, but this will be all about the food itself without any distractions ... / More than just pictures of food, the series will be saying something about our culture and society, and what we consider to be appealing…what does food mean to us beside just keeping us alive? why do we need it to be embellished and attractive? what does it say about us as a society?....the paintings can stand on their own, but will look great grouped together. Below you can see a painting by the most famous painter of everyday things Wayne Thiebaud…I have no plans to follow Thiebaud and others like him, my style is different, but I do admire what he set out to do as a comment on our society, and that is what I would like to emulate ... Watercolour on Sennelier Not Paper… Both Robert Frost and Pablo Neruda, celebrated the simple things in life in their poetry…here is what Frost says about this incredibly healthful berry. Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb, / Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum / In the cavernous pail of the first one to come! / And all ripe together, not some of them green / And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen... Robert Frost / Cakes Wayne Thiebaud

/ Strawberry tart is the second in the series “Delicious”... Watercolour on Sennelier Not Paper… In the description that accompanied “Blueberry Tart” I referred to the work of a famous American artist called “Wayne Thiebaud”, who stated that his subject matter came out of a genuine experience from his life, from the American world, in which he was privileged to be. He went on to say that it was the most genuine thing which he had done. His subject matter is a commentary on the abundance that is a part of American society and the longings and desires ( e.g. all those cakes in a row) that go along with it. Like Thiebaud, this new series is definitely a reflection of my particular experience… it is at once a commentary on the richness of our culture and at the same time a reflection of my daily life… in addition to being a painter, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen… my belief is that since I have to cook to feed my family I had better do it well, (I have an abhorrence of wasted time), so to that end I have almost as many cookbooks as art books, in fact I have a collection of several hundred cook books… I have mentioned before, that there is a peacefulness, a feeling of rightness when I sit down to paint food… although all painting brings me pleasure, there is a special joy when I paint food… it is as though it is what I was meant to do ... The strawberry is rough like a slave’s arduous life / Vermillion, green, and fuzzy like an inscripted pathway / It tastes like the first candy bar in a child’s life / It looks like a cold soda on a hot summer day / Sounds like the Sirens decepting voice J. Macgregor / (Click image to link)

/ It is the simple indulgences in life that set us apart…that make us human…just think of the hot cup of coffee or tea, and the warm, softly glazed cinnamon bun waiting on a pretty plate at tea time or any time for that matter….I have placed mine simply on a mat….cut into it…pass a generous slice of it to your partner…there is enough for both….savour the sweet cinnamony goodness as it yields to your knife…Aah ... Did you know that October the 4th is Cinnamon Bun day in Sweden?...great idea I think…. “*Cinnamon Bun” is the 5th painting in the “Delicious” Collection…Watercolour on Arches Paper.. See the others in the Collection by clicking on the links below… / Scone with Berries and Cream Lemon curd and Blueberry Tart Strawberry Tart Blueberry Tart

...more of the Daily Tao Series…...... From the book ‘Tao Daily Meditations’ by Deng Ming-Dao on Joy Do your devotions make you happy? / Is your life a joyous song? In all this talk about spiritual devotion, there is one simple fact. You have to like it. It should make you happy. It is unfortunate that so much coercion, unhappiness, bitterness, guilt, and fear become wrapped up in spirituality. Why can’t we simply do things out of joy? Practicing spirituality isn’t a matter of drudgery. It isn’t a matter of fear. It isn’t for fitting into a social group. It has nothing to do with status. Being devoted to holiness in your life is a matter of joy and celebration. When you sit down to meditate, a smile should come to your lips and a feeling of joy should permeate your body. When you go to consecrated ground to give thanks and celebrate, you should do so not because of the day of the week or out of the habit of ritual, but because this is the best way that you know how to adore your gods and express the wonder of being on this earth. Yes, yes, there is much unhappiness in this existence. That unhappiness is part of the overall field of negativity. There are also positive things in life, and spirituality is foremost among them. So whenever we practice our spiritual devotions, let it be in gladness and joy.
