A TIME TO WEEP AND A TIME TO LAUGH. 2012

A Time To Weep, and a Time To Laugh. 25.June 2012. Ink on Acid free card.

” To everything there is a season……” and that is what this is about- ‘that there is nothing new

under the sun’, so it is said. The drawing is based on the  book Ecclesiastes(c. 935 BCE), Chapter 3 vs 1-8.
An interesting biblical book, speaking of ‘The Son Of David’s thoughts about life. It is an interesting

work that even talks about the timing in the Heavens. Astrology and Astronomy and

Religion were once part of the same discipline.

VASE AND FLOWERS

 

 

 

 

ink on acid- free paper. 26th April 2011

Sometimes the most simple line drawings can be quite simple in their effect on us,

lending itself to a visual and a feeling, that is easy, and comfortable.

50’s UNITE

 

 

 

 

Drawing on acid free card, then digitally enhanced with visual graphic embellishments.

10th October, 2010

 

This work was advertised in, and made for a leading Art magazine to advertise for over 50’s artists to become a co operative in venturing with group projects.

Unfortunately, most were busy with grandchildren, and the verve that was needed to reinforce

this practical concept was greatly hindered by this fact. Fortunately though, I realised that not everyone my age

still gets buzzed by the thought of art making!

SELF PORTRAIT EXORCISM

 

 

 

Pastel on canvas. Very large canvas approx. 1 metre x 1 metre.

This is another conceptual piece regarding the constant self evolution we go through,

using props and masks for a guise while we metamorphosise into a changed and altered human being- forever evolving.

EGGS ANYONE?

 

 

 

 

Pencil drawing on acid-free card. 18th August, 2009

Here is another drawing in 2009 that I did at the Design Course at the TAFE College in Kingswood, NSW.

Here we see a drawing of a drawing of a bowl of eggs and a hand reaching below the bowl

as if coming through the paper drawing to grab an egg. Beside the drawing is a pair of

spectacles resting on the edge of the drawing book, with an overlapping pair of small

feathers in the right hand lower corner.A hand is close by to the left of the drawing of the drawing.

(I hope you just understood all of that! )

EILEEN’S RECEPTION

I was working as a Temp for a couple of months at the not too far away Department of Education, where I met some really lovely people. Eileen was my boss, and though she ran the reception area more efficiently than bleach, she was really lovely- especially with her Irish accent…My God! Just heavenly!

ELEPHANT ON THE PIANO

Elephant on The Piano. Ink on acid free card. May 2009

 

 

 

By the title, one would expect an elephant playing a piano. How absurd! 🙂
It was actually a beautifully decorated resin vase that became broken through a kitten

climbing onto my piano, and shoving it off in the excitement. 🙁

The symbol of the crocodile hanging onto the side of a Wheel Of Fortune, in a stellar atmosphere, has its own Metaphysical meaning.
