ÉMIGRÉ (2006) Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 12” A study done at the time I painted END OF NATURE VII, later finished to become a new small painting in its own right. #art
The viewer is drawn into a low angle view from the underside of a wide crescent of trees. Bare trunks bathed in golden light lean toward an unseen sun setting low off-panel to the left. The play of light on bark illuminates rich texture, defined in detail by soft shadow. Thinning branches rise and spread like the delta of a river to support flat treetops that stand dark green against clear azure sky. Blending among the upper branches, a female holds a suitcase, clasping it by the handle with both hands. Pensively she stares off, posed as if waiting for a ride. The line of her eyes extends from nearby branches to an inward facing sliver of chalky moon. On her back flare wings that seem constructed rather than natural. Secured with leather straps crossing her chest, the wings flare out revealing a webbing of wooden supports underneath to lend structure.

Throughout history, the bare tree has symbolized introspection, seasonal transitions, and the cycle of life and death. The promise of return.
PHOTO by Anuj Yadav. A single leafless tree stands on the edge of a concrete surface, silhouetted against a vast mountain range bathed in warm light. The jagged peaks, dusted with snow, stretch across the background, while the lower slopes are cloaked in dense forests. Above, the sky is overcast with soft, muted clouds, casting a quiet stillness over the scene.

The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what’s happening up there. - K.D. Lang
Photo by wang binghua. A vertical photograph where open blue sky fills most of the frame, deepening to a darker blue at the top. Thin white clouds drift in soft wisps across the lower sky. At the bottom, the gentle crest of a green grassy hill runs straight across. On its edge sit two empty wooden benches in dark brown, spaced apart and facing the viewer. Nothing else fills the scene. The two small seats rest beneath the wide sky, as if waiting.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

BREAKING: The world's most sensitive dark matter detector has announced it has spotted something it can't easily explain: a single event that's tantalizingly consistent with a type of theorized dark matter particle. Very early days yet, but pretty wild. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

allow me to surf on odyssey hype to repost an old piece from 2013 Penelope, Queen of Ithaca - 30x40cm ink on claybord
a black and white scratchboard illustration depicting Penelope, queen of Ithaca waiting for Odysseus. She is standing at the edge of a small stone platform, the sea right underneath, like by a ray of light, wrapped in black robes. Behind her, stairs climb back up the hill behind tall pine trees. In the distance, a square palace sits on the top of the hill, with light coming from the windows.
