Taken on November 11. One of the few. He is a member of the HMS Hood Association, Pride of the Royal Navy the Ship was sunk on 21 May 1941 during the first surface action between any unit of the Home Fleet and The German Battleship BISMARCK. The action lasted less than 10 minutes and resulted in the destruction of HMS Hood (it sank in under 2 minutes), of the crew of 1,418 only 3 men survived. This picture is not one of these as only one of the men survives today, he is one of the sailors that had previously served on HMS Hood before this last voyage. The Naval Prayer O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out of / the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; / who has compassed the waters with bounds / until day and night come to an end; be pleased / to receive into thy almighty and most gracious / protection the persons of us thy servants and / the fleet in which we serve. Preserve us from / the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of / the enemy; that we may be a safeguard unto our / most gracious sovereign lady, Queen Elizabeth / and her dominions, and security for such as / pass on the seas upon their lawful occasion; that / the inhabitants of our commonwealth may in / peace and quietness serve thee our God; and / that we may return in safety to enjoy the / blessings of the land, with the fruits of our / labours, and with a thankful remembrance of / thy mercies to praise and glorify thy holy name; / through Jesus Christ our lord.

Another women in history portrait…. (and probably my favourite!). I have a few collabs to finish then I may finally get round to finishing my portrait of Boudica – which seems to be taking months to complete.

Friday August 3rd It happened again tonight. The old fool had left the door unlocked; and there, above the cages, some apparently empty and some housing pink-eyed rodents; stood the vessel containing the precious green liquid and marked with the words: “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION” once more, at my disposal. Thanks to yesterday’s acquisition of a rather splendid pocketwatch, I have been able to establish that administration of about 2floz of the serum is sufficient to remain effective for approximately two hours. I have thus resolved that, weather permitting, tomorrow’s edification will begin with the short trip into town whereupon I will partake in what will no doubt be another fruitful bout of “shopping”, after which with any luck, there will be ample time for a spot of inexpensive dining followed by a close inspection of the ample figures belonging to those delightful ladies up there at Pedlar’s Lane bathhouse, whom I understand,usually prefer to keep themselves hidden away from prying eyes. Dash it… Awfully sorry ladies!

Narrative / http://www.redbubble.com/people/edwardfish/journal/1046376-an-audience-with-the-hapless-narrative The Making of / http://www.redbubble.com/people/edwardfish/journal/1046719-the-making-of-an-audience-with-the-hapless Extract / By now, still unable to contain his amusement the dog was rolling about the room as his master swatted and flapped with one hand whilst pulling bird after manic bird from his throat with the other. And then with a thud to the back of my head came blackness. / Waking to find myself face down on the floor, I could hear the grating wheeze of the dogs laughter and the tinkling of broken glass falling from my back as I rose to my knees. I rubbed a tender spot at the base of my skull, and then my eyes. / Through a haze of dust and feathers the scene before me gradually came into focus. The frenzied attack on my host continued, and it was clear that despite his bravery, his efforts to fend of the relentless beasts had become futile. / However, at the very same moment his eyes had suggested a man resigned to his fate, with a swipe of his glove he was able to buy himself enough time to reach into his overcoat and pull out a large shiny object which he tossed into the air. / The object – a medal of the grandest order- fell at the feet of the sniggering hound. The dog looked down at the prize and breathed out a deep sigh of smug satisfaction. “Well…” gurgled his battle worn master, by now at the limits of his patience: / “DON’T JUST STAND THERE LIKE AN OVER GROWN FRICKIN GOOFBALL…D-O-O-O SOMETHING!!!!!”

June 26th How excited I am! Tomorrow is my birthday, and my sisters have told me that Papa will be arriving first thing, and that he has a very special treat in store for me. Naturally since learning of this, I have been at pains to discover what awaits me. Yet to my utter dismay, when I try to interrogate my sisters , they will only say that they are sworn to secrecy, then glance at one another and burst into infuriating giggles. I feel that if I am to succeed in my endeavour to extract the necessary information before morning, I must first get to each of them separately, then use all the cunning and ingenuity inherited from my beloved father. What springs immediately to mind, is to adopt the guile of one of Nature’s predators and pursue the weaker of the pack. Knowing as I do of Audrey’s great fondness for fruit bonbons, I shall arm myself with said items, and make my way to her bedchamber this very evening. Let us see how long her lips remain sealed when such delightful confection is offered in exchange for her secrets!

Please visit Charity website: http://www.philadelphia33.org/ 100% of all money raised from sale ofall my art goes toward the extreme poor in isolated villages in Africa. I will never forget taking this photograph, as I was standing waiting for the ferry to come. Anyone who has been to rural Africa will know that things runs on African time. That’s why I call them Last minute.com. After three hours, these two guys came to me and said the ferry Had broke down on the other side, and that they would take me accross. So I got in, with all my camera equipment and a very wet Interpreter, who fell into the water. / One the way accross I suddenly realised that the large boat coming straight towards us was the Ferry. It was so funny. The fishermen refused to take any payment, as they said it would bring good fortune to the, as they had a white man in their boat. they both recieved Jesus as Lord and Saviour. It was really a blessed boat trip. visit: / http://www.philadelphia33.org/

[portrait taken in Natural Light] : 16/11/2008 [AS IS] I was walking from one village to the next, in Remote Nigeria. one of the team noticed this young girl following us for some time. I stopped and spoke to her through an interpretor. We learned that she was 13 years old and caring for three younger Sisters. As she told us here story, I Felt compelled to return to her village. There we met her three younger sisters in the most extreme poverty. Both Parents were dead and no other living relatives. We spoke to the village Chief and the elders who pleaded with us to help the family. We did, as God lead us to and blessed her with clothing, and the following day we sent two of our field workers to meet with her and now they have a small regular income from our mission funds. UPDATE 5-8-2009. Mary is now at School. We pay her school fees adn her three younger sisters are well and happy. We need help with Susan, aged 9. She wants to go to school also. We need help with school fees, uniform adn text books. Can you help? will you Help?

Barack Obama – Change for America, for the World, for All of Us – The Audacity of Hope On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States. In his victory speech, delivered before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of his supporters in Grant Park in Chicago, Illonois, Obama proclaimed that “change has come to America.” Born in Hawaii, Obama will be the first U.S. President born outside the contiguous United States. He also will be fifth youngest President at the date of accession and the second since Lincoln whose primary political base is Illinois. This portrait illustrates and epitomizes the audacity of hope. President Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2009. Selected information courtesy of Wikipedia.

Today we visited the Medieval Festival held at Gumeracha, in the Adelaide Hills. There were so many interesting people there, including this man, Keith, who makes silver jewelry and replica artifacts from the past. His particular love is viking history. He was dressed in period costume and his hair and beard were perfect – in fact he could have stepped out of a previous time. He was interesting to talk with, and kind enough to pose for me. I have layered his portrait with some textures to bring out the depth of the character in his wonderful face. Oh, and that is a great walking staff he is holding – a great weapon for defending yourself, if you have to! Canon 40D, Sigma 18-200 / various textures added in photoshop. This image featured in the group South Australian Artists in May 2009. Thanks so much! And featured in the group The Adelaide Hills in May 2009, thanks so much! And featured in the group Canon DSLR in May 2009, thanks very much! Yet another feature, in That’s Entertainment in June 2009. Thanks so much! This image featured in the group Portraits in Natural Light in August 2009. Many thanks! This image featured in the group Bubblers Weekly Challenge in September 2009. Thank you so much!

FEATURED in IMAGEWRITING GROUP / FEATURED in ETHNIC ART Back in the 80’s when I lived in a suburb of Vancouver BC, I did a series of drawings for a long distance truck driver who had a real love for what he called “cowboy art” and the history of the native tribes of North America. It piqued my interest as well at the time I must admit. / This little girl I drew from a very old photo…a Jingle Dancer I believe she was. / Starting in 1880, the Jicarilla Apaches started negotiations for a reservation, and though promises were made by the federal government, the Jicarilla Apaches didn’t have a reservation of their own until Feb. 11, 1887. President Grover Cleaveland gave the executive order. / The Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation is located within two northern New Mexico counties: Rio Arriba County and Sandoval County / The reservation has a land area of 3,532.864 km² (1,364.046 sq mi) and had a population of 2,755 as of the 2000 census. Its capital is Dulce which comprises over 95 percent of the reservation’s population, near the extreme north end. / As a point of interest, the Jicarilla Band of Apache were the single band that refused to cooperate with the United States military in trying to locate Geronimo. /
