Jun. 04.16 - As I failed to have a footnote on this re-post. I will do so now. 

Paloma is a pastiche based on "Woman with necklace: by Modigliani, where she is actually sitting, one can hardly observe the necklace and wearing a dark dress. As I am often in the quest to "right wrongs" I felt it was time to stand and let be seen, as naturally as possible. The image is full of symbolism from the stones chosen to the pairing of doves. No, there is no bird in the original piece on on her head. That is only a "vision/perception" I had one day looking at it which. prompted me to paint this pice....

Social commentary: While man are free to remain unencumbered by social rules, women (many) still prisoners of the status quo (bejewelled and made up... looking for prince charming (no matter how big and ugly undesirable frog, while he is restlessly looking for his own "barbie"...

"Bloodstone Jungle"

Or as close as it "resembles" a jungle to me. As I continue to unpack and settle I found this work in progress...

Since the energy of the stone in not particularly suitable for me I enhance it (or "defused" it) with jade and green and red jasper as well as coral...
I am not going to continue making jewelry thus I am sorting stones, beads, charms, and sorts of sccutrements, setting aside the huge amount I need to sell - Any good offers for greatly selcted stones and glass beads?

"Intermezzo Giocoso" - acrylic - 80cmx160 .... as it was

Wishing you all a happy, creative and Prosperous 2016!

A little update on Medusa

For some reason, other than a bad cold I had immediately after the end of OTB that lasted over a month, I have no idea why I simply cannot move past the replacement of some of the snakes. I felt if would make a more effective piece if I kept it to just a few colours instead of going my usual multicolour way... I will be posting as soon as I get back to work on her...

(She was scheduled to be hanging at the WR Community Centre)

Closing OTB Event @ White Rock Community Centre

See you there!!!

@ the WR Library....

... after this past weekend's "Master Artists" series event

Outside the Box, this weekend! "Master Artist" Series at the WR Library

Cont.  ...

All I knew about Medusa was what imagine most of us know... a character out of Greek Mythology with snakes  for hair... As I researched in preparation, in order to have a staring point (after viewing a large number of interpretations on line) some of them quiet fantastic and imaginative, some almost sublime as the GIFF of an all white face and snakes moving about...

Never the less this Medusa was (as all else) going be to totally mine.

As the story goes... not exactly pinpointing when it began, but sometime during the Iron Age and the Bronze one for sure, I decided to have some daggers representing the iron and the "mandatory shield" had be bronze..

As for the snakes, I decides that as many added to the story through time to make such convoluted outcome in its versions, I could contribute to it with my own take on snakes, with which I finally made peace with in their synthetic form!

The ring of fire represent "war" an its calamities and as often in ancient times fire was set to eliminate the enemy.

Athena's shield would be a "girly" one if left up to me... thus, colour became  important as in all my works they represent diverse powerful and protective energies...

Will be White Rock Library (Master Artist Series) Fri. & Sat. September 11& 12, 11:00AM - 4:00PM
