Acrylic on canvas, 15.5” x 15.5”, created in January 2009. With a new president and philosophy in the USA, a spirit of optimism has finally opened up for many of us who had problems with the previous administration’s attitudes. This is especially true in regards to the overwhelming evidence of the harm we’ve been doing to our environment. In this painting, a rich red poppy has also opened up, growing out from a rusty, discarded tin can. The atmosphere around it is grungy and its spindly leaf is barely recognizable – is it up to the task of photosynthesizing the nutrients the flower needs to survive? The title of the work provides a hint at my hopes and feelings. A closely related piece is “The Price of Redemption – an Ecological Statement”. / / ~

Oil Painting on canvas (40×40 cm) I have been so fortunate in my life to have seen many, many dolphins – in Table Bay, on the west coast of South Africa as well as off the coast of Robben Island. So, this little painting is for all the dolphins: may we always be blessed to have these wonderful creatures in our oceans. Dolphins are caught be fishermen, slaughtered by trawlers and horribly killed in some far east countries. The following is an extract from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin Dolphins are considered to be amongst the most intelligent of animals and their often friendly appearance and seemingly playful attitude have made them popular in human culture. Dolphins are social, living in pods (also called “schools”) of up to a dozen individuals. In places with a high abundance of food, pods can join temporarily, forming an aggregation called a superpod; such groupings may exceed a thousand dolphins. The individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations. They also use ultrasonic sounds for echolocation. Dolphins also show cultural behaviour, something long believed to be a quality unique to humans. In May 2005, a discovery was made in Australia which shows this cultural aspect of dolphin behaviour: Some dolphins, such as the Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) teach their young to use tools. The dolphins break sponges off and cover their snouts with them thus protecting their snouts while foraging. This knowledge of how to use a tool is mostly transferred from mothers to daughters, unlike simian primates, where the knowledge is generally passed on to both sexes. The technology to use sponges as mouth protection is not genetically inherited but a taught behaviour. Some dolphin species face an uncertain future, especially some of the river dolphin species such as the Amazon River Dolphin, and the Ganges and Yangtze River Dolphin, all of which are critically or seriously endangered. A 2006 survey found no individuals of the Yangtze River Dolphin, leading to the conclusion that the species is now functionally extinct.[36] Contamination of environment – the oceans, seas, and rivers – is an issue of concern, especially pesticides, heavy metals, plastics, and other industrial and agricultural pollutants which do not disintegrate rapidly in the environment are reducing dolphin populations, and resulting in dolphins building up unusually high levels of contaminants. Injuries or deaths due to collisions with boats, especially their propellers, are also common. Various fishing methods, most notably purse seine fishing for tuna and the use of drift and gill nets, results in a large amounts of dolphins being killed inadvertently.[37] Accidental by-catch in gillnets and incidental captures in antipredator nets used in marine fish farms are common and poses a risk for mainly local dolphin populations.38 Dolphin safe labels have been introduced to reassure consumers that the fish sold has been caught in a dolphin friendly way. In some parts of the world such as Taiji in Japan and the Faroe Islands, dolphins are traditionally considered as food, and killed in harpoon or drive hunts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin

Cropston Reservoir, illuminated some 8 miles outside the city by the light pollution from Leicester. Whilst the orange Sodium glow is visible to the naked eye at night, only with long exposures does it truly show…... / No chance of star trails whatever!

Our planet is slowly dying of disrespect. Governments and industries are not doing enough to stop the global warming process. People have changed their daily habits, sometimes quite a bit, to help control pollution, but in many cases, it’s only as long as there is no extra cost or too much effort involved. In the meantime the Earth is sick, bleeding to death. Another composite created for a challenge. I’m really pleased with myself because I wanted a texture layer with splatters or drippings or leaking of some kind, and I was about to purchase a stock image, when I decided to try making my own. I went through my things, and picked a tube of bright red poster paint, which I diluted with a bit of water to make it manageable, added corn syrup for texture and a splash of concentrated beef stock to darken the mix. I used a kitchen brush to make the splatters on an old board and made several shots. When my son walked in, for a moment he thought that I had injured myself seriously or that I gone mad and butchered the dog! ;-) Position cursor over the thumbnails for more details on how these photos were used Featured in the Anticonsumerism group on March 16, 2009 1st place winner in the Experimenting with Media challenge of the Experimental Group on March 19, 2009 Finished in 8th position of Top Ten in the Unconventional Flower challenge of the Unconventional Artistry group on May 8, 2009 Also available as a T-shirt in my greeting cards and clothing portfolio and while over there , perhaps you could take the opportunity to add me my to your watchlist… ;-) /

Americans believe we can develop clean coal technology. There is no such thing as clean coal. Coal is the most pollution producing fuel human beings use. I grew up in a coal town. I know.
