#078: Relief

Watercolour of a figure walking along a beach, looking ahead.  The tide is out and the flat sand extends to the horizon.  Beyond the figure, the sunlight is reflecting off the wet sand, giving the impression that there are large patches of golden water beneath the clear blue sky.

A simple frame surrounds the picture.  Along its bottom edge is engraved: “that tranquil moment / when it all comes together. / the space that opens.”

The figure is me.

#057: The Negative Zone

Oil on canvas.  A person walks across an arctic landscape of nothing but ice stretching for miles, edged with tall mountains.  Dark clouds fill the sky, storms rage above the mountain range.  Behind the person walks an angry-looking polar bear who leans its head down to talk into their ear.  A cloud of breath emits from the bear’s mouth, slightly obscuring the head of the person.  The ice throughout the landscape is littered with their footprints.

#051: Always and Throughout

Oil on canvas.  A figure stands on a path.  Before them the path forks off into different directions time and time again, stretching out before them all the way to the horizon.  The paths are made up of rooms, all individual, each with at least two doors leading out of them to a new room, or path.  On the distant horizon are many final rooms and doors.

#006: Telling it like it is, or Setting the record straight

A picture of a white shape with a black outline made up of four equal sides and four right angles.  A caption reads, "Rectangle."

Open up the door and see a truth totally or largely kept from the world - it could be personal or an aspect of history or literature, or any subject, buried by those to whom it is uncomfortable.  

Continue every day until the new world is born.
