went to the Brecon Beacons in South Wales at the weekend and photographed these beautifull, mystical trees coverd in moss and lichen. They inspired me to do a bit of artwork :-) Doorway comes from St. Konan’s Kirk, Loch Awe,Scotland

father o father where do rainbows start? / well my little one, that there is an art! / rainbows are made by a magical thing / when we need rainbows we know who to ring! / rainbows are made from a magical cup / cool amber beer, drunk skulled and sup / and when the rain clouds leave oh what glee / out comes a rainbow in the gush of a pee .;.

/ (Mocha timber frame/off white matt/medium size) / Greeting Card hand drawn on paper / digital painting Legend of Little Geisha / art and story by K Taylor (4/09) In the village of Ishekawa by the Sea of Japan lived a poor couple who wove and carved for a living. The couple had no real possessions but were content with the beauty of the mountains and the sea surrounding them, and happy to be together. The only thing they wished for and did not yet have, was a child to call their own. One day, an ancient crone visited their home and as always, the couple offered their hospitality, gave her rice cakes and sake to warm her belly. The old crone, in return for their kindness, bestowed upon the couple the ability to have a girl child. The child grew from a seed into a strong and beautiful young woman, glowing with pride and joy, she was the delight of Ishekawa by the Sea of Japan, and many young suitors came to visit and pay her homage. But as is the way with old crones, you can never quite trust them to do you a favour without some twist in the tale. Unfortunately, the seed from which the child grew, began to sprout roots, and she was bound to the earth. In time the beautiful young girl became a majestic tree and all the birds from near and far came to perch and nest in her branches, she gave them shelter from the wind and rain, and everyone who knew the legend realised the tree was actually the Little Geisha. / here’s the drawing (above) prior to being digitally coloured

I woke up one morning and came out into the kitchen just after I had finished this work and the rainbow was spot on the stone of destiny! It was goosepimple stuff, I tell you! The spirits walked my house that morning! These big powerful mandalas are connections… connections with spirit, connections with others, connections with myself. My ancient celtic ancestry is in full bloom… ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! Please DO NOT COPY this picture. It is protected in more ways than one… Cheers:) Marg

Watercolor on board, sold. / This painting was inspired by a medicine story from the Crow Nation. The story is about an actual event that taught the People about the importance of love, devotion, sacrifice, bravery and unity. A couple wanted to spend some time alone and as was customary, chose to go on an extended trip far from the band’s summer camp. Individuals often broke off from the band and traveled alone or in small groups to visit relatives, trade, gather plants for food and medicine, and hunting. Distances were vast, so they might be away significant amounts of time. By adolescence, most had knowledge of the band’s basic migration pattern and destinations. The general areas would be located using topographical landmarks, stars, weather and plant life. When a band moved on it wasn’t difficult for members to predict their direction. In this story, time passed and summer turned to fall. There was an early snowstorm and winter set in early. There was deep snow followed by a prolonged period of harsh cold. When mid-spring arrived the band initiated the annual trek to intercept the annual bison migration and replenish stores. Summer returned once again and by then it was obvious the pair had disappeared without a trace, as none of the other bands they encountered had met with the missing couple, nor had bodies been found. With the passage of time their families assumed the worst and mourned them for dead. Many years later the band came to a remote place in search of game, an area they rarely hunted in. There was evidence of abundant game, sweet springs and running waters, protection from the elements and hostile eyes. They decided to stay awhile and as women set about erecting lodges, children spread out to explore the area. Eventually some boys discovered the partially collapsed frame of a lodge, the once white hides that covered it now hanging in tatters. Looking at the cooking pot still sitting upon a long – cold fire circle and deteriorated satchels, they knew this was a hunter’s camp from which residents departed quickly. Inspecting the area they found nearby two weathered corpses, practically skeletons, curled in fetal positions and embracing one another. The garments were discolored and disintegrating, damaged by sun, rain, and melting snow of many seasons. Nature was reclaiming the area and absorbing the bodies back into her self, they were almost hidden by foliage. Nearby was the disintergrated form of a large grizzly and within the rib cage a hunter’s blade. The children called their elders, who knew after Inspecting the weapons and bits of jewelry that here were was the pair who’d gone missing so long ago. The bones were buried on the spot, embracing as they’d been found, and in the same place was buried the bear’s body. Periodically the people returned this way, and each time shared the history with the new generations. A seedling had sprouted over the grave, and eventually grew into a massive oak, two trunks issuing from a single, wide trunk. This tree stood for many decades and may still be there today. It was believed the oak held the spirits of the lovers and the bear.

King Arthur, waits quietly for the ages to turn. He knows that there will be a time when the curse must be lifted, world order restored… and makeovers are much cheaper. :)

I like this image in the black version too (negative). So thought it might appeal to others as well. Flying black Pegasus. Beautiful creature from myth and legend.

The fantasy behind this is based on The Mabinogi- a famous Welsh legend. Arawn is the King of Annwn, who appears in the first of the four branches of The Mabinogi. This is how I imagine his kingdom- both glorious and apocalyptic. (The photograph was taken in Milan, and altered using PS CS3).

Taken in 1966, this is one of my favourite images of the 60’s of the iconic DJ, Sir Jimmy Savile OBE. I took the shot when I was 20 during my assistant days at 1:15 am, after a long advertising shoot for a petrol company with my boss, top fashion and advertising photographer John Cowan. I asked Sir Jim if I could run a couple of rolls of film for my portfolio. True gent that he is, Jim said “Sure!” even though every one was pretty tired after the 5 hour gasoline ad session. Anyhow, this is the result and it remains one of my favourite pictures to this day as it shows Sir Jim as he really was and is – a strong and generous human being who did not take himself too seriously. You are a true professional Jim, and I am eternally grateful to you for giving me this opportunity.
