Hasn’t everyone lain awake on occasion, unable to turn off the thoughts running rampant thru the minefields of a restless brain? There must be others who can relate to a lost love, a failed relationship, doing the mental exercises to figure out where things went wrong and what might have saved it. / / Communication is key to any social situation, but if everyone always said the right thing at the right time, many great literary works would never have had a premise to build on. Where would Gone With the Wind have been if Scarlet had only told Rhett she loved him… / / Anyway. I wrote this at three a.m. on one of those sleepless nights, rehearsing a conversation that will never happen. For the background abstract, I used colors of fog and smoke, regret, tears, and maybe just a tiny touch of hope. The writing is positioned deliberately off center; what can be in balance when you have lost part of your Self? / / Anyone who has a relationship in jeopardy that might still be saved could use this card as a starting point to get a dialog started. It’s worth a try. / / Oh, if you can’t read the zoomed-in version, see the original in my writings section. /

THE BOOMERANG DOG / Cervidae canidae SIZE: COLOURATION: / The boomerang dog has distinct markings. It has a pelt of short, black fur with bright, almost luminous, blue markings that remind one of ancient war paint. It also has mauve eyes. This patterning and colouration is thought to help confuse predators on the hunt. It is the same for both sexes, although the arrangement of the fur patterns varies from animal to animal. PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES: / Long, sinewy limbs and sturdy pads tell us that the boomerang dog is built for running. Its streamline shape and sleek pelt also aid this cause. The boomerang dog spends most of its life running. Even as early as ten minutes old, this unique creature can already outrun most predators. It has a huge lung capacity and prefers flight to fight. CALL: / A series of short, high pitched bleats that remind rather of one sneezing. DIET: / Being an insectivore cum herbivore, this animal feeds on various plant- and insect species, all found relatively close to the ground, as the boomerang dog often eats in the run. REPRODUCTION AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE: / The female boomerang dog mates once a year. The males move around, constantly seeking females in heat. Their social structure is very loose, with herds forming and breaking every so often. There are about three males to a herd, and no limit to the number of females. The gestation period is 6 months, and the young few. When females are in heat, they tend to become more placid, and can be found resting more often than usual. Once mated their vitality returns for the first half of the pregnancy, but tapers off again slightly for the more crucial stages of pregnancy. HUNTING METHOD: / Some would argue that the boomerang dogs were the creators of fast food. They eat whichever insects and plants don’t look poisonous, often without slackening their pace. TEMPERAMENT: / This animal is timid and restless, even neurotic, but can be bred in captivity (Note to aspiring breeders: Large areas of land are necessary to breed boomerang dogs). After about six or seven generations, their neurotic nature can be polished into mere alertness. HABITAT: / Forests, high bush and jungles all suit the needs of the boomerang dog. General notes on the BOOMERANG DOG It is interesting to find that the boomerang dog is not really a dog, or even remotely canine at all. It is part of the cervidae (deer) family, and is a distant relative of the Karga. / The name originates from native tribes, who, in ancient times, never caught more than a glimpse of an animal that was shaped like, and ran like, a canid. The boomerang dog has most of the characteristics of modern cervidae, but differs in that its digits are more dog-like than deer-like. It has two vestigial (receded) digits on either side of its paws, and three digits used for running on. The nails on these have thickened and are becoming more hoof-like. (Gouache, watercolour)

Here is a scene of serene strangeness, originally there was a mountain on the mushroom shape (“mountains come out of the sky, they stand there…” – Yes) but I liked it better without. Mostly it was the shells on an alpha object I was experimenting with. Bryce 3D, Strata3DCX.

I’ll tell; it’s easy, quite. Wait till a yellow moon gets up O’er purple seas by night, And gilds a shining pathway That is sparkling diamond bright Then, if no evil power be nigh To thwart you, out of spite, And if you know the very words To cast a spell of might, You get upon a thistledown, And, if the breeze is right, You sail away to Fairyland Along this track of light. by Ernest Thompson Seton /

It’s been a while since I did one of these!!! :) They’re still my favourite type of piece to do but time and energy has been lacking lately. This one started life as a macro photo of, of all things, a head of broccoli. I was looking at it and thought what a cool texture photo it would make, so I took some shots. / All the photos used for this work are my own – an old pic of my daughter, photos of water drops, feathers, flowers, everything.

Could this be the surface of Iapetus, the mysterious moon of Saturn. Most of its surface is shrouded in darkness so what it looks like, for the time being, is up to the imagination. / Most of Saturn’s moons are icebound but I thought a little water wouldn’t go astray. As for the red colouring well a bit of poetic licence. Planetscape created in Artmatic Voyager. Moons created in Bryce 6 and Saturn itself a big thank you to NASA/JPL. / I must say that I have been experimenting for a long time to create real-looking Saturn rings but I have never been happy with my attempts so far.
