Mixed Media oilgraph with acrylic, graphite and gunpowder on wooden panel // 12x16
Base image photographed with a Mamiya 645 on Tri-x and processed in Agfa Rodinal
From the new series ‘The Spirit of Ukraine’ Being over half Ukrainian and Russian I take the war in Ukraine personally. In this continuing series I hope to capture the both the strength and vulnerability of the Ukrainian people.
The textures were created by igniting gunpowder on the surface of the panel and burning into the print itself. It’s an uncontrollable process and the explosion chooses its own direction. Just like war itself.

Art Week Gallery Theme ~ A Bit of Glow ~
This week 25 Aug. - 31 Aug. our theme is:
~~~~~ A Bit of Glow ~~~~~
Lovely calligraphy— the darker areas are much deeper than the vertical letter stems. They are about a quarter of an inch deep in the darker areas.
Looking at the physical relationship between the human and animal forms, pencil and pyrography on wood then worked into with white pen- A level course work.

[Español abajo :)] - Matryoshka doll (Russian doll).
For a while I was a marketing manager for the North Europe region in a multinational technology company. It was a job I enjoyed because of working with people from other countries and for the occasional opportunities to travel.
This Russian stacking doll was bought on one of the trips to Finland. The Finns are interesting folk. Just like their language, they are a totally different people group to any other European one, and definitely not Russian! They can appear dour and grim as befits their climate, but I always found them friendly and hospitable.
Finns have a strange, virtually incomprehensible sense of humour. The best way I can describe it is to say that it is drier than arid, and for a dry-witted Englishman that is saying something!
Ah... In this world of unintended consequences, I can tell my viewer would now like to hear a Finnish joke. Well first gather your group of Finns, and then tell them this story:
‘Once a man was fishing in the centre of a remote lake sitting by a hole in the ice. There was then a very rare occurrence. Another man came in sight.
Seeing the fisherman the visitor walked over and sat down beside him in silence. Three hours later they were still sitting there and not a word had been spoken.
Eventually the visitor spoke, “Why are you fishing here?” he asked. The fisherman paused and then replied, “To catch fish.”’
At which point your Finnish audience will fall about laughing uncontrollably…
The really worrying thing is, now that many years have passed I actually appreciate why it’s funny. By you have to understand the Finnish mindset :)
The trip started at Helsinki but mainly consisted of an overnight boat trip to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia on the other, southern side of the Baltic. Ostensibly it was for a product update from me and others but everyone knew the real agenda: to get into International waters so the draconian Finnish alcohol taxes could be ignored and for the clients to get wildly drunk.
And drunk they did get. My, how they did!
I have been in drinking groups before but never have I seen a group of people drink so much and then walk on two legs the day after. We congregated for dinner and folk had had three double shots of vodka before the starters were served… and then it went on like that for eight hours…
Well, a pint and a half of beer and 37 Cokes later I arrived in Tallinn.
Tallinn is a lovely city. The old town is a very typical North European walled city (not Russian) built on a hill. But it is surrounded by grim grey Soviet-era tenement blocks that fill the suburbs.
On one of the cobbled streets as I walked up to the top I found a lovely little shop that specialised in these Russian nested dolls. There were dozens of different types all in different designs. Most of them stack three to seven deep with each doll twisting apart to reveal the smaller one within.
I bought this one as a memento of the visit, and for the joy of seeing the smile of delight on my young daughter’s face when she saw it taken apart on my return. This one appealed because it wasn’t in the bright glossy colours that characterised most of the tourist ones. Instead it was fashioned in matt wood, carved then marked with a hot iron and finally gilded. It seemed more authentic.
This is the smallest and largest of the 5 doll set. Taken for the 2DWF group’s Two Together theme.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy 2DWF :)

Muñeca matryoshka (muñeca rusa).
Durante un tiempo fui gerente de marketing para la región del norte de Europa en una empresa multinacional de tecnología. Fue un trabajo que disfruté por trabajar con personas de otros países y por las oportunidades ocasionales de viajar.
Esta muñeca rusa de apilamiento fue comprada en uno de los viajes a Finlandia. Los finlandeses son gente interesante. Al igual que su idioma, son un grupo de personas totalmente diferente a cualquier otro europeo, ¡y definitivamente no son rusos! Pueden parecer severos y sombríos como corresponde a su clima, pero siempre los encontré amigables y hospitalarios.
Los finlandeses tienen un extraño y virtualmente incomprensible sentido del humor. ¡La mejor manera de describirlo es decir que es más seco que árido, y para un inglés ingenuo que está diciendo algo!
Ah ... En este mundo de consecuencias no deseadas, puedo decirle a mi espectador que le gustaría escuchar una broma finlandesa. Bueno, primero reúna a su grupo de finlandeses y luego cuénteles esta historia:
"Una vez un hombre estaba pescando en el centro de un lago remoto sentado junto a un agujero en el hielo. Hubo entonces una ocurrencia muy rara. Otro hombre apareció a la vista.
Al ver al pescador, el visitante se acercó y se sentó a su lado en silencio. Tres horas más tarde todavía estaban sentados allí y no se había dicho una sola palabra.
Finalmente, el visitante habló: "¿Por qué estás pescando aquí?", Preguntó. El pescador hizo una pausa y luego respondió: "Para atrapar peces".
En qué punto su audiencia finlandesa caerá sobre la risa incontrolable ...
Lo realmente preocupante es que, ahora que han pasado muchos años, realmente aprecio por qué es gracioso. Por que tienes que entender la mentalidad finlandesa :)
El viaje comenzó en Helsinki, pero consistió principalmente en un viaje nocturno en barco a Tallin, la capital de Estonia en el otro lado sur del Báltico. Aparentemente fue para una actualización del producto de mi parte y de otros, pero todos sabían la verdadera agenda: entrar en aguas internacionales para que los impuestos draconianos del alcohol finlandés pudieran ser ignorados y para que los clientes se emborrachen violentamente.
Y borrachos se pusieron. ¡Mí, cómo lo hicieron!
He estado en grupos de bebedores antes, pero nunca he visto a un grupo de personas beber tanto y luego caminar con las dos piernas al día siguiente. Nos reunimos para la cena y la gente había tenido tres tragos dobles de vodka antes de que se sirvieran los entrantes ... y luego siguió así durante ocho horas ...
Bueno, una pinta y media de cerveza y 37 Coca Colas más tarde llegué a Tallin.
Tallin es una ciudad encantadora. El casco antiguo es una ciudad amurallada muy típica del norte de Europa (no rusa) construida sobre una colina. Pero está rodeado de sombríos bloques de viviendas de la era soviética que llenan los suburbios.
En una de las calles empedradas, mientras caminaba hacia la cima, encontré una pequeña tienda encantadora que se especializaba en estas muñecas rusas anidadas. Había docenas de diferentes tipos, todos en diferentes diseños. La mayoría de ellos apilan de tres a siete de profundidad con cada muñeca separándose para revelar la más pequeña dentro.
Compré este como un recuerdo de la visita, y por la alegría de ver la sonrisa de alegría en el rostro de mi hija cuando la vi destrozada a mi regreso. Este apeló porque no estaba en los brillantes colores brillantes que caracterizaban a la mayoría de los turistas. En su lugar, fue fabricado en madera mate, tallado, luego marcado con un hierro caliente y finalmente dorado. Parecía más auténtico.
Este es el más pequeño y el más grande de los 5 juegos de muñecas. Tomado para el equipo Two Together del grupo 2DWF.
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para mirar. Espero que disfrutes la imagen! Feliz 2DWF :)

This is what I do as a hobby, paintings on a 3 mm Birchwood plywood and they measure about 9 inches by 12 inches,(22cm X 30cm) others are 12 inches by 17 inches (22cm X 43cm)
I start drawing with a pencil, then I use a pyrography tool (wood burning) and go over of what I draw burning it deep, and then apply acrylic paint or pastels on the rest of the clear spaces, once that they are finished I protect the painting with a couple of coats of clear varnish.
Some of them I sell on Ebay, some I keep them to myself because they are a part of me that I refuse to let go.

They are 15/16" - 1" in diameter.; what you see here is just about the real size. They will be made into wooden brooches. I went with this disc shape instead of the higher ones in my previous photos because I like the look better.

Using my newly purchased/upgraded wood burning tool. Still need to experiment with the temperature.
Various wooden beads I created with my woodburning tool. Fun! I am especially pleased with the owls. The rest are works in progress. :)
This is a gift that I made by burning an owl design on a wooden bead and then adding a tiny bit of driftwood, stone bead and a brass leaf. I love how it turned out, I hope she does too. :)
