NEW PILGRIMS / OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS / $900 US (12” X 16” ORIGINAL) / SIGNED DEDICATED PRINTS AVAILABLE I have always wondered exactly what is over that next mountain? What new adventure is awaiting my arrival? And when can I leave? It has always been that way with me. I’m not exactly sure why but it is the lure of travel and new vistas that has always captured my heart. Age has not diminished that lure. Age has actually made the temptation greater. Time, it would appear, limits me to one life and there is so much to see and so much to do that I find myself wishing for more minutes in the hour, more days within the week, more months within the year and if at all possible more life’s to live. So I have constructed a means, a way, a ruse to cheat Time. I can travel to places far, far away visit with whomever I wish and whenever I desire. Places that no one yet has seen. I can travel far into the future or if I wish I can go back deep within the past. The remarkable thing is that how I do this is not unique. I see it done, mostly by young children, when they play. This trickery, this means by which I travel is simply my imagination and with it I can do the most wonderful of things. By allowing myself to dream I can be transported anywhere and at any time I wish. So with my brushes and my oils I have traveled deep into the future where I beheld the most wonderful of sights. There before my gaze were the “new pilgrims”. They were landing on the shores of a “new world”. Brave new adventurers, romantics, and daredevils all. Not fearing the unknown. Intrepid explorers going where no one had gone before. So what a wonderful gift the Creator has given to me. The gift of imagination. When I feel too “adult” all I need to do is spend some time with some very young explorers. Children are the greatest of explorers, as they see for the first time the wonderful gift of imagination. What a joy it is to see them fashion new, vibrant ideas with supple minds that are open to all new discoveries. They leave “no stone unturned” as they explore everything and everywhere. Their minds are like “clean slates” waiting to be filled with the abundance of Creation. visionary imagist “Joey”

National Heritage site Heritage Listed Lindisfarne, Northumberland, UK For with the flow and ebb, its style / Varies from continent to isle; / Dry shood o’er sands, twice every day, / The pilgrims to the shrine find way; / Twice every day the waves efface / Of staves and sandelled feet the trace. / Sir Walter Scott / More from Lindisfarne:
the storm is still approaching, with tooth and sweat filled spray riding on the back of a breaking wave.

THE PILGRIM / A rich and lovely country wide unrolled, / A fair face by me, heavens where white clouds sail, / Why does my heart forever still bewail / Far-distant lands, more distant days of old? / Litwa! your roaring forests sang more bold / Than Salhir maid, Baydary nightingale; / Id’rather walk your marshes than this vale / Of mulberries, and pineapples of gold. / Here are new pleasures, and I am so far! / Why must I always sigh distractedly / For her I loved when first my morning star / Arose? In that dear house I may not see, / Where yet the tokens of her lover are, / Does she still walk my ways and think of me?

A group of Sikh Pilgrims at the Golden Temple – Amritsar, India – the spiritual center of the Sikh Religion. A visit to the Golden Temple is a moving experience and a pleasure for both Sikh and non-Sikh. It has none of the unpleasantness associated with its main rival to the south – the Taj Mahal.

An old lantern next to the entrance to the Virgin Mary Visitation church in Hejnice, Jizera mountains, Czech Republic. I feel that giving light is very symbolic for this place where the pilgrimage roads from several countries cross since the 13th century… February 2002. Canon EOS 500N, Sigma 28-135.

St Catherine’s Chapel is a small chapel situated above the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset, England. It is thought to have been built in about 1400 as a Pilgrim chapel for Abbotsbury Abbey. Its position on the top of a hill about 80 m (260 ft) high, overlooking the coast means that it was a prominent feature for seafarers. / The medieval strip lynchets etched into the side of the hill are known locally as the Chapel Rings. I liked the effect almost duplicated in the clouds. / The chapel appears briefly in the Powell and Pressburger film, The Small Back Room. / St Catherine’s Chapel has a local tradition of ‘wishing’. This involves using the niches in the chapel walls to ‘post’ prayers to the saint asking for her help. This tradition still goes on today.
