  • OIL on CANVAS -

  • This is one of my favourite pieces, partly because I was happy with how it came out aesthetically, but also because of the reaction I get when I show people. They either think it is a very happy picture or a very sad picture, and I believe this is down to which side of the photograph they are drawn to first. Naturally, there is a level of progression across the picture – I had to wait for that little black cloud to float over to where I wanted it to take this shot.

  • / Evening

  • On again On again I love a good bum on a woman, it makes my day. / To me it is palpable proof of God’s existence, a posteriori. / Also I love breasts and arms and ankles, elbows, knees; / It’s the tongue, the tongue, the tongue on a woman that spoils the job for me. / Please understand I respect and admire the frailer sex / And I honour them every bit as much as the next misogynist. / But give some women the ghost of a chance to talk and thereupon / They go on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on. I fell in love with a woman with wonderful thighs and hips / And a sensational belly. I just never noticed her lips were always moving. / Only when we got to the altar and she had to say “I do” / And she folded her arms and gathered herself and took in a breath and I knew / She could have gone on again, on again, on again till the entire / Congregation passed out and the vicar passed on and the choirboys passed through puberty. / At the reception I gloomily noted her family’s jubilant mood, / Their maniacal laughter and their ghastly gratitude. She talks to me when I go for a shave or a sleep or a swim. / She talks to me on a Sunday when I go singing hymns and drinking heavily. / When I go mending my chimney pot she’s down there in the street, / And at ninety-five on my motorbike she’s on the pillion seat / Wittering on again, on again, on and again and again. / When I’m eating or drinking or reading or thinking or when I’m saying my rosary. / She will never stop talking to me; she is one of those women who / Will never use three or four words when a couple of thousand will easily do! She also talks without stopping to me in our bed of a night; / Throughout the sweetest of our intimate delights she never gives over. / Not even stopping while we go hammer and tongs towards the peak - / Except maybe for a sigh and a groan and one perfunctory shriek. / Then she goes on again, on again, on again on and I must / Assume that she has never noticed that she’s just been interrupted. / Totally unruffled she is, and as far as I can see / I might just as well have been posting a letter or stirring up the tea! She will not take a hint, not once she’s made a start. / I can yawn or belch or bleed or faint or fart – she’ll not drop a syllable. / I could stand in front of her grimly sharpening up an axe, / I could sprinkle her with paraffin, and ask her for a match - / She’d just go on again, on again, on again even more. / The hind leg of a donkey is peanuts for her, she can bore the balls off a buffalo. / “Mother of God,” I cried one day, “Oh, let your kingdom come / “And in the meantime, Mother, could you strike this bugger dumb?” Well, believe it or not, she appeared to me then and there: / The Blessed Virgin herself, in answer to my prayer, despite the vulgarity, / Shimmering softly, dressed in blue and holding up a hand. / I cocked a pious ear as the Mother of God began. / Well she went on again, on again, on again, on, and I / Will have to state how very much I sympathise with the rest of the family. / Give some women the ghost of a chance to talk and thereupon / They go on again, on again, on again, on again, / And again, and again, and again, and again / They will go on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on.

  • coming soon AFTER-LIFE and ‘DEATH’

  • This is my 3rd and final piece in this series and I believe it closes this chapter yet leaves the door open to endless possibilities. This piece represents the past , present and a greener yet unwritten future. I believe we are all very resilient; can come through hardship and triumph in our unpredictable journey through life…... Again, a huge thank you to my friend and model…. / Nikon D80 / 18-200mm lens

  • It’s not a beach in the Bahamas. It’s not the top of Mount Everest. It’s not a view of the beautiful land I call home. It’s a small gravelled garden where I stood and felt happy with the world. It matters not to the general viewer the where or why, it just was! It’s where I want to be, not for the garden, the walls or the door, but for how I felt at the time and the reason I felt that way, but the door beckons and will call me away to my responsibilities. At times, I wish I could be more selfish!

  • on my way to the art show …I was in a sad mood …don’t know why just sometimes it hits like that….anyway as I was driving I went over the bridge and a flock of birds flew over the water ....it was early morning and the moon was still out as parts of the sun were waking up …and I though how beautiful it would be if they could lift me fly me to wherever i could feel happy ….silly thoughts but the sence seem to boost me for the day…. i have a few more of these and I am calling them my daydreams series pastel and ink on wood panel 14”x14”

  • Portrait of my son. / / Canon 400d / 50mm f/1.8 / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

  • my lovely little nephew – not v. happy about our little photo shoot…

  • When you have a roll of thick masking tape and a face, you can’t help but pretend to be an emote…. right :-) enjoy x Also because i’ve recently joined the “budget photographers” group I feel that it is important to say how you don’t have to be minted to express yourself. I edit everything with Gimp which is free software, I use free lighting (high 5 to the sun anyone) and I used in this case a window ledge, jewellery box and a book as a tripod. Chocolate hearts and bunny truffles to these groups for the feautures :-D / Shameless Self Promotion / Young Enthusiasts / Photographers self Portraits / Artrageous RB Artists

  • I have not stopped thinking about the works of / LisaG and her newest piece called Sad Tree it got my mind and heart juiced up! SAD TREE _Beside a waterhole / a sad tree was planted seasonally / it leaned forward in a spirited attempt / to soulfully drench an act of love it did it all / without shame smoke often filled the air / the sad tree / was the last of its breed it had seen a fair amount / it had danced the last dance all that was left was to / take care of its bounty no more travel / c’est la vie a railway line sang blue / as the willow / spoke to flesh and blood flesh ran / to the rose bush without bud / asking for no reason why must I hang my head? It was the truth a bird floating from the heavens / hid / behind / the mercy of the burning / sad tree twisted ivy / seeded / in the minds / of blank onlookers the sad tree / discovered redemption / in the brushing of a cross in the hope / of / never truly knowing in the rooted earth / of / every lasting life in the ache / of birth turn your head / give away your perfect suit pick up your roots / be gone understand / black as coal / light as the few_ By Lisa G. 2009 ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
