Merry Christmas one and all…..

Shodo

August 28, 2019art, beauty, poem, Poetryart, beauty, Japan, poem, poetry, shodoThe Cheesesellers Wife

Art and philosophy
Elegant, sparse, fluid
With singular precision

Product of a moment
Product of a life’s practice
Product of the ages

Open to all with the time and open focus
Pad left open, pen laid down
Beauty and meaning await

Clouds

Clouds herald dawn with flame and gold
escort the sun, clothe mountains
paint landscapes with flying shadows
move in silent and solitary grandeur
or blanket the sky
are torn and hurled by wind and storm
unvaried, cloudless skies stifle and suffocate
clouds are the artists of the sky

Whaling Boat

May 29, 2019art, Azores, poem, Poetryart, azores, poem, poetry, whaleThe Cheesesellers Wife

Cleaving through the waves
Slender, fragile
A wooden sailing boat
Races its kindred
In the regatta
Brought back to life and beauty
Restored to some use
But not the original fatal one
Man against beast
Hand launched harpoon
Against the deep diving leviathan
A dreadful trade
Forged in harsh necessity
Killing Whales and men
In this isolated archipelago
As the boat turns into the wind
A bright Orange speeder passes close
Bouncing from wave to wave
Full of tourists
Out to hunt whales
With their cameras

Pheonix rising —and gone!

I am both happy and somewhat sad this week. I exhibited several of my paintings at Ytterbium, the 2019 Eastercon — a science fiction convention that was held across the Easter weekend. Amazingly I sold three paintings, which is wonderful, but this means that I will never see my lovely Phoenix again. She’s off to Los Angeles California and this is all I now have of her:
