The Kiss

                           In what green garden of regret did you sit so happily?

Snake in the mouth..

   Don't bite down on the snake in your mouth! 

Raphael's Catherine

        With all their zeal she could not be broken on the wheel. 

Cinquante...

                 The descent into old age and memory.

Four Directions

In, out, left and right, the generations seek solace.

A world of wonder

      Who were the thieves that stole our eyes? 

The eyes have it

 Beware what lurks in the dark, keep your windows closed and your blinds down.

Grand Hotel Des Bains

On the beach of the Grand Hotel Des Bains I think of my Grandmother by the flowing falls. 

Conversion

You may wish to balance an idea's worth before   praying to the Shamanistic spirit for conversion; 

   beneath the glowing bush and narcissistic pool.

A collection of ties

Mabuse paints a little girl, he chooses a red tie from his collection to celebrate the muse always careful of the dogs in the undergrowth. 

Bookish Lamb

           Though you be a well versed lamb, 

                  the descent can be perilous. 

The Entombment

               By my wounds you shall know me.

Portrait of a Lady by Van Der Weyden

 Considering this propinquity of time and place...

Beautiful Losers...

               Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Motherhood

             Motherhood, divine, natural and difficult!

Luxembourg Garden

 

    The King is worried, the gondolier equivocates    

   and the dog howls at a distant moon.
                                                                                                                                                   

Red Head

                                      Bathing in the spirit of success.

Faces from the past...

 Paddling through the wilderness

 of the great Canadian outback 

Nascadites reach for the stars 

while Hokusai and Ganesa 

contemplate the  moon over Fuji. 

Dylan Thomas

        Dylan's Aunt Dosie had died, while the Doctor and the devils danced.

With palette and brush we enter...

         The Virgin's luxurious bed under the coffered ceiling, 

      below which the scuba man paints Elvis in the deep blue sea.

St. Jerome's Lion

            Lying in the wilderness his heart was beset by demons.

      And death laughed at his flaming problems!

Planted

         Man and Man - Woman and Woman
