I entitled this photo "JPan," because it is a panorama made inside a Jack's Restaurant.
Hence, "JPan."

An artwork entitled When the Animals Speak was created by Elizabeth Grajales and put up in the station in 1998. The pieces are on the end walls of the express platform and over the stairways. The south-end mosaic features a 9'x14' mural of a lion with a bird on his back facing his mate. The north-end panel features a 15'x13' mosaic of a bear looking toward a deer and her young.
This painting is entitled Mining America (Diptych) by Joyce Werwie Perry that currently hangs in the Westmoreland County Museum of American Art in Greensburg, PA. When I looked through the door of the room where it hangs it spoke to me in a visceral way. They didn't have to be miners. They could have been shop workers, railroad workers or a crew of men on any job anywhere. I looked over the bunch of them half expecting to see either one of my Grandfathers looking back at me. Or this could have been a group shot of any machine shop I've worked in over the last forty-four years. although there would be more fatties and about half of them would be wearing camo of some kind.
A colourful folding brochure entitled "Lincoln and Lincolnshire" issued by the Great Northern Railway in c.1907 with covers decorated by colour sketches of Lincoln by "E.W.". As well as Lincoln and the surrounding county the brochure looks at the various cathedrals found en route from London Kings Cross toward Yorkshire. The covers also show the GNR's unusual, for the UK, almost American style 'herald' or badge.
The Great Northern Railway was incorporated in 1846 and began operations in a small way in 1848. It took some years to finally construct and open what is now the East Coast Main lIne southcof Doncaster to London but this was to become, along witht he GNR, part of the vital main line from London to Scotland via York and Newcastle that was jointly operated by the GNR, the North Eastern Railway and the North British Railway. The GNR also operated a network of branch lines in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, the latter being of particular importance in terms of access to the county's great coalfields.
These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

By a Lady.
Acrylic on Stonehenge paper.
Calgary, AB.
22¾ “ x 28¾”
This acrylic on Stonehenge entitled By a Lady is part of a series of paintings on the theme of self-reflexivity. I began the painting in 2008 and it has taken me two years to complete. The basket of artbooks include books I used as references for tours of National Gallery of Canada exhibitions that I particularly enjoyed including a Renoir and a Corot exhibition. I replaced their book covers with images of my granddaughters.
By a Lady is a pivotal work by the same title by Maria Tippett on Canadian women artists.
The blue tea pot refers to a series of paintings I began in the 1990s in which the highly-reflective surface of the blue teapot mirrors a moment in my everyday life. I was initially encouraged to deepen this theme of reflexivity for a number of reasons including Escherian perspective in spherical shapes that I spent a lot of time with in the weeks during the showing of Escher’s work at the National Gallery.
The windows themselves are like pages of a book like a story within a story. I am drawn into books by the climatic literary descriptions and I am drawn into paintings in the same way.

I spend way too much time on Flickr. Period. I'm beginning to realize that it might be a slight obsession. I want to get better. I want to improve and learn and grow as a photographer. I see so many photos, and I think - wow, that's amazing. I want to understand how to do that. There's still so much to learn. Textures, proper lighting techniques, advanced knowledge in photoshop, blahblahblah. Photography is such a passion of mine, and I worry that maybe I chalk my "skills" up to more than they are. I worry that I won't ever be as good as some of the other talent I've seen, and the truth is that I may never be. But I am going to continue to hone my skills to the best that they can be. ♥

This piece is entitled "self portrait of ones entire life". I executed this piece with the a theory I developed that is called Dimensionalism . This theory has its inspiration form my experiences with pre-seizure events for I have epilepsy. In this state I become detached from reality and see time in a different construct,that of a hyper intensity. A hyper awareness of a moment and everything that constructs it from sounds,thoughts,things tactile . While in these pre seizure states, some instances time is slowed down/speed up or frozen. While in other instances I am forced away form all comprehension of what is in my present environment and reality takes on a totally foreign existence where all has to be re learned.
For the viewers of my piece all of life is in dimensions and how one moves through these dimensions of either large dimensional constructs such as ones life or to the minute dimensional construct of a simple word. Thus giving the viewer this new perspective of time and space. The suspended animation of the piece is only dynamic as the viewer views the piece from the narrower sides form either end where a visible play of time sequencing exists and ones eye is drawn into the piece...
A perspective of a Dimesionalist where one has a view of a moment with a gods eye/time traveler or a pure energy source . From looking at a simple word to a memory one has. All is captured in dimensions. There are other branches of my theory that further portray my experiences. Demensionalising and facitile dimensionalism. These ideas also play with the constructs of how one sees time/moment.I hope to execute these ideas in the future...........
All these ideas/theories have a direct correlation with present day society...from the over abundance of information that is transferred by different technologies to the ways these technologies directly affect our existence and how it adds other dimensions of time to our lives.
I will be placing more info online in the future. and creating a temp website that fully explains all the details and shows examples of these theories as well as go into more details..

I started making a list in my diary entitled âThings I Have Been Silent About.â Under it I wrote: âFalling in Love in Tehran. Going to Parties in Tehran. Watching the Marx Brothers in Tehran. Reading Lolita in Tehran.â I wrote about repressive laws and executions, about public and political abominations. Eventually I drifted into writing about private betrayals, implicating myself and those close to me in ways I had never imagined.
--From [Things I Have Been Silent About](http://www.amazon.com/Things-Ive-Been-Silent-About/dp/1400063612)
[Azar Nafisi](http://azarnafisi.com/), author of the beloved international bestseller [Reading Lolita in Tehran](http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Lolita-Tehran-Memoir-Books/dp/081297106X), now gives us a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a countryâs political revolution. A girlâs pain over family secrets; a young womanâs discovery of the power of sensuality in literature; the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by political upheavalâthese and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir, as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and âreminds us of why we read in the first placeâ (Newsday).
I met with and photographed [Azar Nafisi](http://azarnafisi.com/) for The Times in London she is a fantastic upbeat person....... very personable..... totally fascinating........... Im sure her new book......... [Things I Have Been Silent About](http://www.amazon.com/Things-Ive-Been-Silent-About/dp/1400063612) is well worth reading........ although I myself do not yet have a copy.
I was thinking of [Azar Nafisi](http://azarnafisi.com/) today as I was listening to reports about the jailing of another Iranian American woman........ [Roxana Saberi](http://freeroxana.net/) who has been arrested while reporting from Iran........ I have listened to her reporting many times both on the BBC and NPR ......... I felt sick when I heard she had been jailed for on trumped up charges spying and sentenced to 8 years...... I feel the new Obama administration's attempts to engage Iran are not wrong and anyway could hardly be less successful than President Bush's attempts at manipulation through isolation............. but I did feel slightly sick that the totally unjustified incarceration of this brave individual reporter by this awful theocracy......... just might just be brushed under the carpet to allow dialogue with the oppressive ayatollahs.
Lets try and engage with Iran but lets not forget [Roxana Saberi](http://freeroxana.net/).

When I first saw this picture I know I had to paint it, full credit to the original artist, it is a masterpiece. Bursting out of the Colosseum, on the left you have the elements of history and tradition, and on the right you have the future, which looks like a space craft, and in the middle you have the Centurion, signalling, forward...the past and future being lead by the present, how it should be.
Working full time as well, this picture may take me 3 to 4 days to complete, every night I will post more & more stages to completion. If you click on the Slideshow link below you can watch a Slideshow showing the many stages in the painting of the picture, iv uploaded 11 so far, it may take as many as 30 until im happy with it. Every night if you click on the same link you will see the new additions automatically added to the slidehow, giving you an insight into how 3D Paintings are created.

As with all civilisations, nations & empires, its not how strong you are, its what you stand for that counts , it is these values, not military might & brute force, that determines longevity & prosperity.
Many things have been said about the Romans, the recent film released 2010 entitled Centurion is a good example, as was Spartacus, and the birth & life of Jesus Christ. When all is said & done the Romans lasted an aweful long time, they must have been doing something right.
There demise was started with the emergence of a movement that put forth to mankind a much higher set of values, not a stronger military force. That movement is Christianity.
The Roman civilisation tried to Adapt, tried to absorb, but its decline was inevitable. The Catholic Church is what remains of the Roman branch of Christianity.

Regensburg is a city with more than 2,500 years of history. The Celts arrived somewhere around 500 B.C.; four centuries later, around 90 B.C., the Romans established a military camp nearby. By 179 A.D., in the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, there was a permanent fortress named Castra Regina within the boundaries of what is now Regenburg's Altstadt. In the 6th Century A.D., the first Duke of Agilofinger established his royal seat in "Reganespurc," which became the first capital of Bavaria.
St. Boniface founded a bishopric in Regensburg in 739, and Charlemagne ousted the Agilofinger dynasty in 788. The city continued to grow, albeit slowly, until the Steinerne Brücke was built between 1135 and 1146. This unprecedented stone bridge across the Danube opened major international trade routes between Northern Europe and Venice, and much of Regensburg as it exists today was built by wealthy merchant families over the next few centuries. These traders had no compunctions about flaunting their wealth; some of their houses had purely decorative towers that made them the McMansions of the Middle Ages.
The Free Imperial City of Regensburg existed for 600 years. But as trade routes changed, the city's fortunes declined and many of the patrician families left for better opportunities elsewhere.
Regensburg got a second wind in 1663, when a permanent Reichstag or Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire was established within its walls. The old merchants' houses were taken over by bureaucrats and emissaries, and Regensburg was the seat of Germany's first parliament for 150 years.
The empire was dissolved in 1806; three years later, the city was conquered by Napoleon's troops and turned over to Bavaria. Although many events have taken place since, Regensburg's Altstadt looks much as it did during its heyday as a Free Imperial City, with some 1,400 registered and carefully preserved medieval buildings that coexist with structures from the Roman Era.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(shrub)
The spindles, genus Euonymus, comprise about 170-180 species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and small trees. They live mostly in East Asia, including the Himalayas,[1] and they also have a distribution in Europe, Asia, Australasia, North America and Madagascar.
Mature Spindle fruit, after splitting open to reveal the seeds
The flowers are situated in small groups, inconspicuous and of green or yellow shades.[1] The leaves are opposite (rarely alternate) and simple ovoid, typically 2-15 cm long, and usually with a finely serrated margin.
The fruit is a pink-red four- or five- valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds. The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. All parts of the plants are poisonous to humans if eaten.The wood was traditionally used for the making of spindles for spinning wool; this use is the origin of the English name of the shrubs.
Spindles are popular garden shrubs, grown for their foliage, the deciduous species often exhibiting very bright red fall colours, and also for the decorative berries

This piece is entitled "self portrait of ones entire life". I executed this piece with the a theory I developed that is called Dimensionalism . This theory has its inspiration form my experiences with pre-seizure events for I have epilepsy. In this state I become detached from reality and see time in a different construct,that of a hyper intensity. A hyper awareness of a moment and everything that constructs it from sounds,thoughts,things tactile . While in these pre seizure states, some instances time is slowed down/speed up or frozen. While in other instances I am forced away form all comprehension of what is in my present environment and reality takes on a totally foreign existence where all has to be re learned.
For the viewers of my piece all of life is in dimensions and how one moves through these dimensions of either large dimensional constructs such as ones life or to the minute dimensional construct of a simple word. Thus giving the viewer this new perspective of time and space. The suspended animation of the piece is only dynamic as the viewer views the piece from the narrower sides form either end where a visible play of time sequencing exists and ones eye is drawn into the piece...
A perspective of a Dimesionalist where one has a view of a moment with a gods eye/time traveler or a pure energy source . From looking at a simple word to a memory one has. All is captured in dimensions. There are other branches of my theory that further portray my experiences. Demensionalising and facitile dimensionalism. These ideas also play with the constructs of how one sees time/moment.I hope to execute these ideas in the future...........
All these ideas/theories have a direct correlation with present day society...from the over abundance of information that is transferred by different technologies to the ways these technologies directly affect our existence and how it adds other dimensions of time to our lives.
I will be placing more info online in the future. and creating a temp website that fully explains all the details and shows examples of these theories as well as go into more details..

A kinetic sculpture entitled Heureka by Jean Tinguely (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Tinguely) on the shore of Lake Zurich.
The sculpture is as much an auditory event as it is visual, with all the rusted whirrings of the gears, belts, wheels, and pulleys.
I found a video (alas, no sound) on YouTube, which conveys some of the effect. Watch the video all the way to the end, the last few seconds convey the scale of the machine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8plV5trScw
It was interesting trying to photograph the sculpture, because there is so much going on. I decided to take a few shots of the gears I like the most. I found it impossible to take a picture of the entire machine that captured enough of the details that made it interesting.
Just now I browsed around Flickr to see if I could find a macro view of the sculpture I liked, and I like this one. flickr.com/photos/bskl/74556729/
The Civil War Monument, entitled Soldier at Rest, was designed by sculptor Henry H. Davis, was dedicated in the Morristown Green on July 4, 1871. The monument features an 8-foot full length white Quincy granite figure of a Civil War soldier surmounted atop a 50-foot white Quincy granite shaft, divided into three horizontal sections. At the bottom of the shaft on the front is a bas-relief medallion. The base of the shaft stands on a series of steps. A cannon stands at each corner of the base. The monument is enclosed with a wrought iron fence. Inscriptions on the sides of the shift list battles of the Civil War inlcuding Antietam, Vicksburg, Appomattox, Shilo, Wilderness, Malvern Hill, Roanoke, Winchester, Gettysburg, Atlanta, Donelson and Cold Harbor.
Morristown Green is a two and a half acre park in the center of Morristown and bound by Park Place, Bank Street and Speedwell Avenue. The ground, which dates back to 1715, became George Washington's first encampment in the winter of 1777. The land, originally owned by the Morristown Presbyterian Church, was purchased in 1816 by the trustees of the Morristown Green and maintained as a Common ever since.
The current edifice rises over a pre-existing 5th century Palaeo-Christian church entitled to Sts. Peter and Paul, built by order of St. Amantius of Como, third bishop of the city. Erected c. 1 km outside the city's walls, it was intended to house several relics of the two saints which Amantius had brought from Rome.
The basilica acted as bishop's seat until 1007. Six years later bishop Alberic moved the seat within the walls. The basilica was then entrusted to the Benedictines who, between 1050 and 1095, rebuilt it in Romanesque style. The new edifice was dedicated to Amantius' successor, Abundius. The structures of the Palaeo-Christian church, discovered in 1863 during a restoration, are still marked by black and pale marble stones in the pavement.
The new basilica had a nave and four aisles. It was consecrated by pope Urban II on June 3, 1095.
The church has two notable belltowers rising at the end of the external aisles, in the middle of the nave. The sober façade, once preceded by a portico, has seven windows and a portal. Notable is the external decoration of the choir's windows. There are also Romanesque bas-reliefs and, in the apse, a notable cycle of mid-14th century frescoes. Under the high altar are the Abundius' relics.
The medieval monastery annexed to the church, recently restored, will act as the seat of the local faculty of Jurisprudence of the University of Insubria
This is "Bisquit",one of my Syrian hammies:). He's very sweet & loves to roll around the house in his ball while I'm on Flickr...
I nearly entitled this, "Plan 'B' ", as, because of grey, windy, drizzly weather at the start of my holiday, I spent most of the first week going round churches in the S. Lakes, photographing any stained glass windows that caught my eye. This had definitely not been my first intention for the holiday!
The rather ornate East window in the delightful old, Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels in Hawkshead, depicts Jesus' Ascension into heaven, fourty days after his Resurrection, witnessed by the Disciples, (minus Judas, who betrayed him.) .The brochure notes that this window replaced a plain rectangular window (probably like Grasmere Church still has), and that for modern taste, the new one (1895) does not match the simple dignity of the old building. I couldn't agree more, as I'm not very keen on it either, but I posted it as a foil to the next which is of Grasmere.
The Nativity window in the South West corner of the Church is a very different style and one of my favourites, but I'll save that for Christmas time.

New Deal mural entitled "Peony Festival at Hamburg" originally painted by William E.L. Bunn in 1941.
When the lobby was renovated probably in the 70's, the postmaster and a "buddy"--I think maybe a local dentist--"successfully" removed the original mural from the wall using basically brute strength and spatulas. Needless to say, the paint came off the canvas as the canvas came off the wall. The replica was done by Tony Rajer's art class @ UW in 1999. Mr. Rajer has restored many post office murals around the country. To the far left of the mural is a listing of the art students involved in this replication.
A cultural event entitled “Follow Georgia” featuring an exhibition of work by contemporary Georgian artist Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze and a music performance by ethno-jazz band “Shin” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from October 2-11, 2017.
Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze’s works take roots in antiquity and mythology as well as in surrealism, which successfully combine art and construction. The music of the Shin smoothly combines Georgian folk melodies with jazz, which is the sound of Georgia’s musical encounter with the world.
WIPO co-organized the event with the Government of Georgia to mark the 25th Anniversary of the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – SAKPATENTI.

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more.

Victorine de Bellio is born in Paris of a Romanian father and a French mother, Victorine de Bellio is shown here in a portrait painted by Renoir, a friend of her father's who was one of the greatest collectors of Impressionist art in 19th C Paris.
Moost of the family collection of paintings was left to the Marmottan Museum in Paris.
Victorine also persuaded Monet's son to donate his father's estate at Giverny to the Marmottan.
Few people know that the word "Impressionsim" comes from the iconic painting "Impression du soleil levant" which was acquired by Dr. de Bellio. He was a medical doctor and close friend of the artists whom he subsidised to pay for their canvasses and oils as well as to lend them money and look after their welfare: he was often repaid inImpressionist paintings.
Another turning point in the history of Impressionism was the realisation by de Bellio that the famous canvass "Olympia" which caused a public furore had to be saved for the nation; de Bellio did just that by initiating a public subscription; Olympia is now at the Orsay museum.
Born in Bucharest of a Vlach stock George Bellu studied and practiced medicine in Paris. His family remained in Romania and the main Orthodox cemetery in Bucharest (the Romanian Pere Lachaise, now a UNESCO site) is named Bellu after the family estate.

"As a member of the commonly referred to “Indian Group of Seven”, Janvier is one of the significant pioneering aboriginal artists in Canada, and as such has influenced many generations of aboriginal artists. By virtue of his art, Janvier was selected to represent Canada in a Canadian/Chinese Cultural Exchange in 1985. Although he has completed several murals nationally, Janvier speaks of the 450 meter squared masterpiece entitled “Morning Star” at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, as a major highlight in his career. In January 2004, one of Janvier’s works was displayed in Paris, France at the Canadian Forum on Cultural Enterprise. In recognition of his success, Alex Janvier recently received three prestigious Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation, The Tribal Chiefs Institute, and Cold Lake First Nations. Janvier’s passion and natural talents for creative expression remains strong to this day. "

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.
