  • Can nothing be an important concept in itself? This poem pays homage to the invention of zero as a number, in the form of a rhyming riddle. And (foolishly for my sanity) I decided to add the constraint that the first letter of each line would spell out the alphabet. (Check out the text version here )

  • The Other Side of Paradox Center / is stillness Sight / no guarantee for light Shadow / means nothing by itself How long to dwell on death / to delight in life? Have all questions been answered? / What if the answer is no? Truth? / It is our shadow. © Assef Al-Jundi

  • New Born baby. A few years ago I worked at another farm and found this baby in the early morn. She was still wet and just born. Took this a couple of hours later. You can see its still early by the mist of her breath.

  • I felt very lucky when I found this wall, and took my picture of it in a little street in my hometown, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Next day I came back and found that the figures had disappeared, painted over again with nice white paint. / Sometimes graffiti in the process of removal looks great! :-)

  • http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/EM/_art/riddle.php / This folded stainless-steel triangular sculpture is the latest addition to Exeter High Street. Made by the artist Michael Fairfax, it has alternate ‘wings’ with verses from the Exeter Riddles which date from the circa 960AD, Exeter Book, the earliest known example of Anglo Saxon poetry in existence. The Exeter Book is kept in the Cathedral Library, and has recently been copied, along with translations onto an interactive DVD Rom. The book is not quite complete, as it has been used as a mediaval carpenters chopping block, had glue spilt on it and suffered from scorching at some point. The riddles have been translated into modern English and engraved on the wings of the piece, in reverse. A careful choice of riddles was made, as many were either too long or obscene. The verses can be read, by looking at their reflection in the adjacent ‘wing’. Between each pair of ‘wings’ is a polished, stainless-steel sphere on which is engraved the answer to the riddle. The 6 meter high sculpture, which cost £65,000 (2005 cost) is part of the million pound plus refurbishment of the High Street. It was unveiled on 30 March 2005 by the leader of the City Council, Cllr. Roy Slack and the Chairman of Devon County Council, Cllr. Mike Knight. Its creator, Michael Fairfax said: “Some of my father’s poetry features in the new book of Exeter Riddles – that’s how I came to know there was an ‘old’ book. I read it and thought the riddles were absolutely brilliant, so I decided to put them on the obelisk.” Camera: Nikon D700

  • Who is Silvia? what is she, / That all our swains commend her? / Holy, fair, and wise is she; / The heaven such grace did lend her, / That she might admirèd be. / Is she kind as she is fair? / For beauty lives with kindness. / Love doth to her eyes repair, / To help him of his blindness, / And, being helped, inhabits there. / Then to Silvia let us sing, / That Silvia is excelling; / She excels each mortal thing / Upon the dull earth dwelling: / To her let us garlands bring...Shakespeare Watercolour on Arches Not Paper FEATURED IN THE FOLLOWING GROUPS… / CREATIVE CARDS.. / IMPRESSIONIST ART / FINE ART / The Riddle / Illusion / The Wish / Virtue / The Party / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage

  • We see you as we see a face / That trembles in a forest place / Upon the mirror of a pool / Forever quiet, clear and cool; / And in the wayward glass, appears / To hover between smiles and tears, / Elfin and human, airy and true, / And backed by the reflected blue...Katharine by / R.L.Stevenson When this painting was finished, I could not help but think of Stevenson’s “Katharine” and her “elfin” face…this delicate “quiet and cool” beauty seems to “mirror” his “trembling face, hovering between smiles and tears”..

  • As in Bathsheba Everdene, from Thomas Hardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowd”...within a short time of arriving at her aunt’s house, Bathsheba has the neighbouring young men at her feet…independent, beautiful and intelligent, she rises quickly when she inherits her uncle’s farm, then shocks everyone by deciding to manage it herself…..her three suitors are each determined to marry her.. / “The book (which I have read a zillion times), has been described as an early piece of feminist literature, since it features an independent woman with the courage to defy convention by running a farm herself. Although Bathsheba’s passionate nature leads her into serious errors of judgment, Hardy endows her with sufficient resilience, intelligence, and good luck to overcome her youthful folly”.wiki Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / Katharine / Sylvia / The Riddle / Illusion / The Wish / Virtue / The Party / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage

  • A selection from The Portrait Collection of “Phenomenal Woman” and “Significant Faces”...I have matched the faces to the seasons...

  • When exactly nine years had passed since this gracious being appeared to me, as I have described, it happened that on the last day of this intervening period this marvel appeared before me again, dressed in purest white, walking between two other women of distinguished bearing, both older than herself. As they walked down the street she turned her eyes toward me where I stood in fear and trembling, and with her ineffable courtesy, which is now rewarded in eternal life, she greeted me; and such was the virtue of her greeting that I seemed to experience the height of bliss. It was exactly the ninth hour of day when she gave me her sweet greeting. As this was the first time she had ever spoken to me, I was filled with such joy that, my senses reeling, I had to withdraw from the sight of others. So I returned to the loneliness of my room and began to think about this gracious person. Dante (La Vita Nuova III) Dante first met Beatrice when he was nine and she was a year younger…he was entranced with her, but they did not meet again until nine years later..he went home and wrote what is considered to be one of the worlds greatest romantic poems, “La Vita Nuova”... many painters have recorded their meeting on the bridge…however there is only one (presumed) portrait of her…I discovered it after I painted this and there is no resemblance.. / Dante thought her angelic…I hope you think the same of my Beatrice...
