It is one of the most endangered species in the Tasmanian temperate rainforest, and is traced back to the ancient / supercontinent Gondwana. An excellent boat building timber this ancient tree was the life blood of Tasmania’s west coast for many years.

A droplet of dew on the end of a fern frond, at Strathgordon, SW Tasmania. Strathgordon is the site where 3000 workers were stationed during the construction of the four dams that created the massive Lake Gordon and the new Lake Pedder. The two dams combined cover an area 26 times the size of Sydney Harbour! Find the card version of this image here (needed cropping so none of the image was lost in the card resizing process).

15×22 watercolor. Original available. A Gordon Setter is a large breed of dog, a member of the setter family that also includes both the better-known Irish Setter and the English Setter. Setter breeds are classified as members of either the Sporting or Gundog Group depending on the national kennel club or council. The original purpose of the breed was to hunt gamebirds. Their quarry in the United Kingdom, may be partridge or grouse, pheasant, ptarmigan, blackgame, snipe or woodcock: whilst overseas bird dogs are worked on quail, willow grouse, sand grouse, guinea fowl, sage hen, francolin and any other bird that will sit to a dog – that is to say, will attempt to avoid a potential predator by concealment rather than by taking to the wing at the first sign of danger. It is this combination of a bird that will sit fast in front of a dog that will remain on point that makes bird dog work possible. / Origin / This is the title of the chapter covering pointers and setters in Stonehenge’s work on dogs published around a hundred and fifty years ago. The term ‘Gun Dogs’ would pretty well cover all the dogs described in the chapter. Many of the gun dogs described by Stonehenge are no longer to be found in the United Kingdom or have been absorbed into one of the other breeds. The Russian Setter, the Welsh Setter, Northern Irish Water Spaniel, Southern Irish Water Spaniel and English Water Spaniel, the Spanish Pointer and the Portuguese Pointer have all disappeared in the past hundred and fifty years, and the pictures of some of the breeds that are still with us show considerable differences to the breed as we see them today. Edward Laverick wrote in The Setter, published in 1872: ‘the setter is but an improved spaniel’; while the Rev Pearce in The Dog, published in the same year, said, ‘he is a direct descendant of the Spaniel: “a Setting Spaniel” was the first Setter’. Since then this is the generally agreed with conclusion that the Setter was primarily derived from the old Land Spaniel, so called so as to distinguish it from the Water Spaniel. It is however likely that outside crosses with Hounds or Pointers did influence its development. William Taplin in The Sportsman’s Cabinet (1803-04) maintained that it was ‘originally produced by a commixture between the Spanish pointer and the larger breed of the English spaniel’. We now really need not to go back to the Spaniel and its specialised development into the setting-dog, as it was called, and can be found in the work by the famous French sportsman, Gaston de Foix, Vicomte de Bèarn (1331-91), who it is said owned about 1500 dogs ‘brought from all countries of Europe’ and was known as ‘Gaston Phèbus’ owing to his love for the chase. This work is called Livre de Chasse or Miroir de Phèbus, and was started in 1387. This work was the bases of The Master of Game written between 1406 and 1413 by Edward III’s grandson, Edward, second Duke of York, who acknowledged his debt to de Foix. Below is the main passage referring to the Spaniel and the Setting-dog, as republished in 1904: ‘Another kind of dog is that is called falcon-dog or spaniel (espaignols in the French original ed.) because it comes from Spain, notwithstanding that there are many in other countries…. ‘A good spaniel should not be too rough, though his tail should be rough. The good qualities that such a dogs are these: They love well their masters and follow them without losing, although they be in a great crowd of men, and commonly they go before their master, running and wagging their tail, and raise or stat fowl and wild beasts. But their right craft is of the partridge and of the quail. It is good for a man that has a noble goshawk, or a tierecel, or a sparrowhawk for the partridges to have such dogs; and also, when they are taught to be couchers (chiens couchants in the original French – ed.), they are good for taking partridge and quail with the net…’ (Baillie-Grohman, p66). The modern Gordon Setter is a predominantly black dog with rich tan marking on the muzzle, legs and chest. A little bigger and heavier than either the Irish or English, he is nevertheless descended from the same genetic mixing pot , which undoubtedly has its origins among those setting spaniels we met earlier. The Kennel Club applied the name ‘Gordon Setter’ to the breed in 1924. Before that they were known as vlack and tan setters, and were found in many kennels beside those of the Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon (1743-1827). Indeed, as we shall see, there is plenty of evidence that the majority of the setters at Gordon Castle during the Duke’s time were tri-colored rather than pure black and tan. The breed was brought to the United States by George Blunt and Daniel Webster in 1842, with the purchase of two dogs from the Duke’s kennels. The American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed in 1892. (information from Wikipedia) Complete 2004

A Desperate Dialog: Gordon M Justice Interviews Queen Valkyrie Kathleen

Many artists pick one medium and stick to it, or move from one to the next without looking back – you, however, manage to balance almost every area of the arts at one time. How is it that you manage to make it look so easy? Is there a trick to being a master of many modes? I am by no means a master, to be the female version of Leonardo Da Vinci I have MUCH to learn, especially as there are so many new and exciting digital ways… but it is an aim I guess… I do appreciate that you have noticed my attempted diversity. I believe it is the nature of a truly creative heart to find creativity in anything you do… I used to say when I worked in administration that I could even file creatively, ha – I’m glad I have a better outlet now. It started with drawing when I was a kid, I have only just recently developed my painting but I get very impatient now with traditional means as I tend to start them with the idea of a digital piece, so I only ever half draw anything. I have quite a few paintings yet to be finished. If I have the right idea and the right images I can knock out a digital photographic in hours, painting takes weeks and with children around it’s just messy and frustrating. I don’t even do as much vector illustration these days, I keep dreaming of pixels. I won’t ever stop writing, it’s always there and I enjoy poetry, not so much on RedBubble but I have been a serious poet since I was in high school and the RedBubble poetry scene pales in comparison to going out on Sunday and getting up in front of a microphone and spellbinding the audience with a vocal performance. I don’t use props other than myself and my voice. You speak of change, and opening people to awareness of both vision and spirit… what is it that made affecting others so important? It’s never been a secret on RedBubble that I experience what is widely referred to as psychic phenomena (a few people here have experienced some of my little ‘sights’). I pretend that I am a witch only for the performance aspect but really I am deeply religious and spiritual. When I say deeply religious though, that is my own religion made up of all the things I have experienced over the vortex and totality of what we refer to as ‘time’. Living and seeing in the way that I do is incredibly frustrating and hard to negotiate at times simply because it is the kind of gift that I can’t ‘prove’ with a given order such as ‘if you are psychic than how many fingers am I holding up?’ party tricks might work for some but I channel my energies into finding things link secrets and mysteries and live in quite the fantasy realm of mysticism and history. Ancient history actually, I find it very hard to bring my mind back from. If there is a ‘god’ than she/he gave me this gift to educate and help people, it is a very nice way to be but very lonely. I am trying to find better ways of moving this forward to being a much broader asset to the human race. / It’s not so much about affecting others for me as about education of the truth of the human mind. When the everyday person not only accepts but understands that we only use a tiny, tiny part of our brain when we operate on a day to day functional level, and open them up to the possibility that we were once using a lot more of it but now we are ‘slaved and lived’ out of this knowledge, we might actually be able to apply mind over matter and save the Universe from our own imperfections because we will have access to the biological information super highway… These things have been written about for centuries and centuries, it’s not so hard to understand if we were allowed (as a race) to break away from the oppression of consumerism and greed and find ourselves as survivors and earth people again, then we could actually study out past and open to the intelligence of the cosmos. I might add all that I find in the occult world is also discussed at great length and importance in the scientific cosmological world as well. When it meets in the middle with be a golden information era of the matter and spirit joining together. No, I am not a Jehovah’s Witness… How does your artwork express the change you’d like to see in the world and the people around you? I believe we, as a race, have been so confused about our goal in life, we have lost the right corridor to follow in the labyrinth if you like. We have been at the mercy of ‘the powerful’ throughout such a long number of days that collective humanity is now at the mercy not only of money but of the people who have more than they should. Nothing new there so much, but add mind controlling black magic{k} into the pie and you got a greed recipe for world domination AND world destruction, if you look at the symbolism of the Nazi’s and the consequences of that symbolism, ideology and propaganda, it’s not a big jump in a conspiratorial mind to think it is more widespread than anyone would ‘believe’ – cause that’s what they want you to ‘believe’, that they are good and caring, those baddies and that magic{k} is all in the imagination – but if they were nice, why are people starving in a world where a Hollywood movie can have a budget that is bigger than that of a developing nation’s average GDP… What if the Universe (space and all it contains) is a symbiotic organism? What if the Earth (as the Ancient Greeks preached) IS actually the ‘spiritual’ heart of the Universe? If the Earth Heart dies, then so does everything else… In my art, I strive to get people thinking about the truths of the ancient religions, when we needed the Earth to look after us, when we were more a part of the Environment, when the spirit (Holy Spirit if you prefer) was strong with us and we were receiving the information sent to us in a clear and certain way. When ancient mysteries were to show us our distant future not being so cheerful. In addition to that, I try to portray a sense of cultural and social awareness, I can’t create a piece of work just because it’s pretty, what story could I tell about it then, there would be no words or wonders to go along with it… that is shallow art to me, cause it limits the spectrum of my creativity. There are times when one feels that no matter what they create and give, no one wants to accept the gift – this is especially truthful of artists. Do you get discouraged, and what is it that discourages you? What is it that brings you back to life? I get discouraged every minute I am not making something new and I guess that is the motivational force of necessity (or Ananke(1) in Ancient Greek terms) that drives me to create and burn as much energy as I can to evolve. I get discouraged when I am not feeling like a successful artist – which is hard because when I wake up one day the only gauge of success I care about is the process and the motivation and the result. But other days, all I want to be is the most renowned digital artistic photographer/designer/artist that will ever live ever. I get discouraged if I don’t get on the homepage of RedBubble – no strike that out… not today anyway… haa ha… What brings me back to less than depression is that I have a home to keep safe and warm in, I have a beautiful husband who is an intelligent partner and great provider and I have 3 young children who are looking like being gifted – they need educating… so… I think – I can do it all, I can be successful at everything I do at once… I can want for my kids and the happiness of my family and know I am happy – but to be extra happy and achieve creatively as well would be the ultimate divine gift – I hope I deserve it! You have done everything from management to freelance work – been both the conductor and an instrument – which do you prefer, and why? Is it hard coming from a background of having other to do the technicalities for you and then suddenly having to do much of the grunt work yourself? I don’t know a manager on the level I have worked on that can be that free. Middle and lower management rolls work just as hard as their employees and they are the first to get their arse kicked when the proverbial poo hits the portable desk fan. Plus, I didn’t like it, prefer being the grunt, some days, I don’t like to brush my hair, can’t do that in a manager role… Unless you are a tiny percentage of really cool creative management and run your own business or something. If you work in the ‘system’ you will always be a slave to their corporate rules, even when you are the ‘token artistic one’… (1) Editor’s Note: The personification of destiny, necessity and fate. She is depicted as holding a spindle and marks the beginning of the cosmos with fellow primal being Chronos. She bore the Moirae, or fates, who use this very spindle’s thread to unwind, decide upon length, and finally cut (end) the life of each human as they see fit. She was called Necessitas for “necessity”, by the Romans.

Taken on sunrise on my Hasselblad 6×6 with the 40mm lens. With the huge light difference between the boats and the sky I had to stack my ND filters in order to capture detail in both areas. On this day I was lucky to get good clouds.
