*privately owned and posted with permission of owner. This painting has been posted some month back at which time it was photographed with a different camera and for some reason, perhaps because of lighting the colors were distorted. This was brought to my attention by another artist, Teag Mcgilligary who commented on it. Comparing the two postings there is a wast difference, hence my posting of the more recent photograph send to me by owners before framing.
I am calling this interesting discovery to the attention to artist's using digital cameras that the lighting of art work plays an important role in the recording of one's artworks.
p.s. this painting is best viewed on black, thank you!
*The above,"the fisherman" from my set:"Las Sirenas de Baru" In Colombian folklore where beautiful green eyed, bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lure nearby fishermen with their enchanting dance to the rhythm of cumbias to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island with promises of passion, only to rob them of their souls which they place in nests to feed their own offspring resulting from their mating with the dead fishermens ghosts.
Scenes of the plight of these fishermen is described by Jorge Luis Borges in his "Hydriothapia" , where Borges discusses man's struggles with mortality, and the uncertainty of his fate and fame in this world and the next, to produce an extended funerary meditation tinged with melancholia. The changes wrought by time and eternity, the fleetingness of mortal fame, and our feeble attempts to cope with the certainty of death. At the same time, Borges can be tersely witty, mocking human vainglory.
"Las Sirenas de Baru" compositions are made entirely of feathers, dried body parts of animal skin and decomposed plant life found on my hikes to a nearby preserve near my home some years ago. presently the items have been further degraded to a mulch like composite having left them in a lidded trash can over a extended period of time. Thoroughly hosed and cleansed they have been lovingly arranged to create these "Natural" sculptures.

Although heritability estimates are significantly greater than 0%, they are also significantly less than 100%. As noted above, heritabilities are substantial, typically 30% - 50%, but this is a long way from 100%.... So intelligence is not an inheritance one can relay on!
thus inherited superiority by birth right is at best an ineffective way to give powers to small numbers of people over billions..

*von einer neuen serie: "Auf einem Straffgespannten Seil" * the above series evolved from my last years "musical compositions" set which brought personal memories of departed friends and their influence on my artistic life.
/the tightrope dancer/ depicted above, is the first of the series and is based entirely on the performance of one singer, one performance and a short lived friendship. The song titled "la revancha del Tango" so popular in the early 70's has come back with a vengeance; last visited it had over 196.000 hits!
For you classical music fans, I am linking this image to the new version of this classic; hope you like it: youtu.be/n-6lOwrGH_o
“I wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. On recalling my childhood it seems I was always drawing and painting. At the age of eleven I was allowed to paint a mural in our bathroom of a big lady wearing a red swimsuit dancing along a beach.
In 1986 I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with a degree in graphic design and worked for a number of years there as a graphic designer and illustrator before returning to Edinburgh to start a family. I have had various jobs and now work night-shift part time which allows me to paint avidly every day.
I like to draw on my imagination and find much of my inspiration for paintings in the humour, sadness, love and quirkiness observed in everyday life.”
