Oil on stretched canvas 45cm x 60 cm
Painted 5 years ago when I resumed painting after a long break - stored away and forgotten.
Inspired by an empty pint beerglass.
Uneven lighting on photo.
No comments expected as I am working on a larger canvas at the moment which is nearing completion.
I'll try to catch up on my regular contacts before I go to UK in April.

This one is for my friends Pervez, and Rick Schlamp.
This Image was taken when Air France took off for the first time with it's A380 service from San Francisco International Airport.
The jetliner had just disappeared into a fog bank over San Bruno, and I was putting the lens cap back on my camera when I suddenly saw this starting to take place.
After grabbing several shots, the plane ascended and was out of sight.
It was a good end to a long day of avoiding TSA and police as I searched for places to grab shots of Airliners taking off from this overly protected airport. A very nice end.

I love the fascinating geology of Coyote Buttes. In case you haven't heard, we have a BIG announcement coming up. You'll want to join our update list so you don't miss out:
"The image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy." - Ezra Pound

It was almost hypnotising taking this image. I like the reoccurring pattern.
I would kindly accept any constructive criticism regarding the lighting.
Abstract view of the wonderful river flowing down from the Bruarfoss Waterfall in Iceland.. This is a most wonderful little waterfall with the most wonderful aqua blue water, which is quite difficult to locate... Also had to trudge for 15 minutes through very fresh snow to get here... Not especially fun times...
Most pictures of this waterfall look exactly the same, so hopefully this different one catches your eye as a wonderful piece of poetry in motion!
I was walking up onto Barker Arch when a pleasing pattern in the rock gave me pause. The word "vortex" rose from the mists of my memory banks--this vortex in stone made me smile.
The converging lines in the stone suggest that this area of sandstone is fossilized sand dunes, cut by wind then buried in sand, again and again. Erosion then shaped the surface and sculpted its form, and I suspect the major architect of erosion was wind.

Sunset wasn't great this morning but the clouds were suitably moody and the sea choppy enough to get some good patterns.

Can you see Jack Skellington in the vortex?
I went to Moominvalley museum store today, it is situated downstairs the city library. I had to visit the library itself too. This is the vision in stairway from Moominvalley to the library. City library building was designed by architects Raili and Reima Pietilä. Reima Pietilä's sister Tuulikki Pietilä was Tove Jansson's life partner (and she was inspiration to Too-Ticky), and her work can be seen in Moominvalley dioramas.
I’m an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas
but not afraid
to speak my lonesomeness in a car,
because not only my lonesomeness
it’s Ours, all over America,
O tender fellows—
Let the states tremble,
let the nation weep,
let Congress legislate its own delight,
let the President execute his own desire—
60 miles from Wichita
near El Dorado,
The Golden One,
in chill earthly mist
houseless brown farmland plains rolling heavenward
in every direction
one midwinter afternoon Sunday called the day of the Lord—
Pure Spring Water gathered in one tower
where Florence is
set on a hill,
stop for tea & gas
O but how many in their solitude weep aloud like me—
On the bridge over Republican River
almost in tears to know
how to speak the right language—
on the frosty broad road
uphill between highway embankments
I search for the language
that is also yours—
almost all our ecstatic language
of prayer has been forgotten.
--Allen Ginsberg
from Wichita Vortex Sutra, 1966
