The first woman is shutting her eyes in the onrush of wind; she shows us a tranquil profile as she leans forward and the air whips a few loose strands of hair over her forehead. The second lady, gazing at us with a smile, is clearly suited up for the a sunny day at the seaside; we can see the cheerful pattern of her sundress and its little tie at the back of her neck, not to mention that clever hat...</p><p> These drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.

<br />
<br />
Well, Loneliness, here you are again.<br />
You refuse to enjoy the morning sunlight with me<br />
Or help me to mix up the paint.<br />
<br />
Instead you tell me all the bleak memories we share,<br />
All the time you knew me so well,<br />
All those hours you had your arms wrapped around me<br />
And clung to me, as melancholy<br />
As a rat in the rain.<br />
<br />
I can't tell you to go away. Why not?<br />
Not out of pity, certainly, you're no happier with me<br />
Than without me, sitting on the hill,<br />
Sniffling instead of singing, Loneliness.<br />
<br />
No, because of circumstance only.<br />
I can't shake myself, and put on a face,<br />
And go see the rest of the world<br />
And leave you alone by yourself, Loneliness.<br />
<br />
Outside, the quail whistles in the long grass.<br />
The wild green grows like a disreputable botanical garden<br />
Full of jungle specimens with dangling berries<br />
And spiky thistles.<br />
<br />
The little dog dozes, whiskers spread<br />
On the brown carpet, as if some morning magnetism<br />
Between fur and floor<br />
Keeps her sound asleep.<br />
<br />
Listen, Loneliness, this time my life is different than it was.<br />
This time you're no more here<br />
Than a thousand, million others of real souls<br />
Who sit the same way I do, in the quiet.<br />
<br />
These I invite, even as I bow you out.<br />
Look, friends, here<br />
Is the slant of sunlight from an open sky,<br />
Coursing across a shuffle of winged papers.<br />
Papers unkempt<br />
But covered with pencil lines,<br />
Faces that look at yours, and waving arms,<br />
Arches and lines, notes from a future<br />
Sketched in a most primitive way, as if<br />
Someone was one step away<br />
From charcoaling them on the walls of a cave<br />
With a burnt-out torch.<br />
<br />
Over here is a raucous crowd of paint tubes,<br />
Caged in a gracious fruit-basket of silver wire.<br />
Here are the eyes of a line of canvases, staring<br />
In bewilderment at their own chaotic colors.<br />
They aren't alone, a whole party of them<br />
Clamors for us<br />
To put on our brightest clothes, put on jewels,<br />
Hats, wreaths of flowers,<br />
Pose elegantly before the broken mirror,<br />
Hear the silence and the music<br />
Of a year gone down a road none knew,<br />
Not even those<br />
Who found Loneliness beside them every moment,<br />
Spreading dust in the food,<br />
Blurring the outlines of the world<br />
Like rain distorting light beyond the glass.<br />
<br />
In this silence I hear the solitude, but not the loneliness.<br />
A burden rolls along, a planet like the rock<br />
That Sisyphus trundled up the slope in Hades.<br />
We slip aside, like sparrows, out of the way,<br />
Fluttering and trembling.<br />
<br />
But this I say, both to my friends<br />
And to the ghost of Loneliness with its muttering and threatening.<br />
We have more courage, we who dare the quiet,<br />
Than those who shriek and run from it, gathering, grinning and boasting<br />
That nothing can change them, that they cannot die<br />
Because they would rather die, and see others die,<br />
Than face this empty light, this warm silence.<br />
<br />
Far less courage we have, perhaps, than those<br />
Who armor themselves with kindness and good<br />
And stand between the wreck of life<br />
And the shadow that comes with an in-drawn breath.<br />
<br />
But all the same, friends, invite me in<br />
Instead of the Loneliness that left by my window<br />
A moment ago, shredding away in the sunlight.<br />
If we cannot sing, at least we will whisper.<br />
There is a way, and a place,<br />
Made of many ways and all places.<br />
Perhaps it takes solitude to find<br />
The faces of friends where we saw<br />
Only Loneliness and the sunlight of summer.<br />
<br />

She faces us directly, her eyes sparkling like the rich jewellery ornamenting her
sinuous neck. A large aqua-green collar wraps her warmly and a pink
satin toque hat sits perched elegantly on her head. The canvas, even with its deep, intense red, recedes from woman's poised
presence, her confidence filling the entire picture. This work was

She glances downward gently, lips smiling at some pleasant, quiet thought. Long, simple lines form the shapes, head elegantly poised on the neck with its graceful curve. At the top, a little burst of acid-green marks the bloom she wears pinned in her hair, a bright hue which stops and accentuates the lengthy contours creating the rest of the image. She is surrounded by a warm atmosphere of rose-pink and vibrant orange bordering on brown. Behind her, blue shades toward the realm of purple and lilac. Acrylic on canvas, 2019.<br />

A droplet from the fountain of the Sun<br />
Rolled through my window to my floor today;<br />
I saw it melt like molten sugar, run,<br />
And flow together, laughing as it lay.<br />
<br />
I touched it, barely, with an outstretched toe;<br />
It climbed my foot, and like a tiny bird<br />
Sat perched with golden feathers all aglow<br />
To sing the sweetest silence. And I heard.<br />

The dashing sweep of
her hat darts in same direction as her eyes… Black, red, blue all
rush across the canvas of the first painting in my newest series of
artworks. Simple, rapid brush strokes define the face with its
sideways glance and slightly parted, slightly smiling lips. A wider
range of play from a larger brush, loaded with rich, intense black,
gives the rough outline of the hat. Yellow-orange and even metallic
gold speak from time to time to detail the woman's lively expression
or the edges of her stylish headgear. November 2019.<br />

A lady with a flock
of sparrows fluttering in the air behind her, the whirl of their
wings echoing the spiral of the long ringlets trailing down her
shoulder… and a woman staring earnestly out at us from a background
filled with climbing, billowing clouds which mirror her bouffant
bows, her frills and edges of lace. These two drawings are part of a
recent collection of artwork in charcoal, sketched with simple lines
across large sheets of paper. The darker, stronger charcoal contours follow paler pencil lines which form the preparatory stage.</div>

The precious fruit
poised in her hand, she turns, watching for her moment; heavy cloak
clutched tightly across her side but right arm lightly lifted to aim.
Her eyes glow with a sudden spark…<br />
In Greek
legend, Eris – Discord – stirred by mischief, secretly brings a
golden apple inscribed “To the Fairest” with her to a wedding
feast on Mount Olympus, and, at the height of the revels, tosses it
into the midst of the celebrating deities. The treasure, claimed and
counter-claimed by the most powerful goddesses of the Grecian
theogony, causes a quarrel which wreaks havoc on the serenity of the
divine abode, and this squabble in its turn causes the grief and pain
of the Trojan War among mortals far below.<br />
I have never
been able to feel that the gravity of the results could place a
greater responsibility Eris than on the other mightier beings that
took the conflict so much farther; and her playful objectivity (after
all, the apple could have remained hers) gives a certain sympathy to
her place in the myth. So I chose this subject in spite of its
mischievous, almost militant, nature, as I saw in it the possibility
to capture a form I've long wanted to investigate; a sculptural
moment that is both the height of action and a point of stillness and
suspended motion. Her hand is just at that transition where the
impetus will be imparted to the fruit, which will fly from her a
fraction of a second later; and in the expression of her wide eyes
and slightly parted lips, you can see her thoughts as she both
anticipates the result of her deed and already sees it completed in
her mind.<br />
And there is in
this sculpture simply the abrupt glimpse of action conceived and
taken, perhaps if abstracted into that one fragment of time, a thing that held the good of its own movement and beauty.<br />

Here are two
drawings with classical inspiration; a figure with an overflowing
cornucopia and an Athena with helmet and shield. While the minimal
outlines describing them are a style we associate with modernism, it's also true that
the ancient Greeks were masters of the very simple, very accurate line
that brings so much life and energy to their vase-paintings, and I hope
that some of that influence remains in my drawings - even though
these quick sketches, made at least partly to express fugitive
thoughts on even more transient social media, are very much results
of the present era.

She tilts her head
gently to the side, counterbalancing the elaborate flare of her
velvet hat. Around her neck cling rich Renaissance jewels; the top
of her bodice is embroidered with a scrolling pattern of stylized
leaves and stems; a few stray locks of hair escape from her ornate
headgear, which is also beaded and jeweled. Her sidelong glance is
thoughtful and bright but almost wistful.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
My most recent
sculpture was inspired, as its name implies, by the paintings of a
great sixteenth-century painter, Lucas Cranach the elder. His vital,
energetic but opulent portrayals struck me as perfect source material
for a portrait like this one, created in a vivid red-orange
terracotta at about half life-scale.

Two drawings show a
woman with a swallow and cherries, another lady with a dove and an
orange. We might be tempted to think that the swallow was begging
for fruit, but if you can see a speck in the air overhead you will
understand he is actually looking to catch the little fly that is the
winged thing in pursuit of the cherries. And the dove in the next
picture is a friendly visitor flying into land, perhaps on the
outstretched hand, perhaps on the shoulder. From my collection of
line-drawings in charcoal.<br />

Sometimes an
artwork contains more than its creative or intellectual history - as
in this sculpture, where a wholly unexpected event, an explosion in
the kiln, left marks unintended in the original form. It still seems
odd to think of so tranquil a personage flying apart while surrounded
by white-hot coils three times the temperature of a baking-oven; but
such was the case.<br />
As she now stands
she is not only the outcome of creation and catastrophe but also
some gentle remedying. Several days ago I placed the two largest
pieces back together as best I could. Though some chips and ceramic
splinters remain missing, as they had pulverized, she now appears
much as she was first intended; a peaceful, heart-shaped face, the
tilted head poised on a long, graceful neck. Half-classical, half
modern; and now, with the fracture lines of her mishap - where no
mending could conceal the warp produced by a fire of 1260 degrees
celsius – perhaps a little post-modern as well.<br />

She leans forward on
the palms of her hands; elaborate bracelets encircle her wrists and
her dress front is shaped like a great bow which is echoed by the
ribbon perched atop her hair. But her gaze is full of thought,
reflective, quiet, contrasting with the extravagance of her clothes
and jewellery…</div>

I created this
piece some years ago, using a pale pink terracotta that gives a
life-like effect. The composition is a very stable triangle from all
sides, with small, lively edges, such as the corners of the hair-bow,
the flaring bodice, lines of the bracelets and the very strong
direction of the gaze emerging from the three-sided structure to give
the sculpture vitality and energy.</div>
