Autumn has given Winter a mask, so that he can hide until She has made her Debut, and all have seen and enjoyed her glory, then it will be his turn to display himself in all his Icy Power. The servants will play, rarely, if ever maybe, here we see the young house maids having thrown down their brushes and dusters dancing a merry jig to the sound of the footmans tin whistle, all having a grand old time. The butler has arrived to see what is going on, allowing the family cat to make a hasty exit from such undecorous frivolity. Beautiful young Middle Eastern Tribal Dancer wearing the Jewelry and Coins she has earned dancing, partly for decoration, also as a dowry to get herself a good husband. Facial Tattoos and markings vary with Tribe. This depicts the mysterious energy and power generated by a Storm. If you have felt the stillness and noticed the silence as the dark clouds gather, the Birds stop singing, and the atmospheric pressure changes, its as though nature is holding its breath, awaiting the outpouring of furious passion. The female in this picture is willing this, she is surrounded by the lightening bolts, her creatures, to direct wherever she wants, She, becomes as one with the Storm. Not available Greek Goddess. Legend says she was born from the foam of the sea near the Island of Crete. Here we see her attended by the Undines of water. Inspired by Japenese Gheisha movement and dance. Why are they meeting, a man and a woman on this cold winters day, is this a clandenstine meeting of lovers, is she telling him they can never meet again, or is this a warning of treachery afoot in the castle? He wears a magicians cloak, are they planning some enchantment, what do you think? Symbalizing the discipline and passion of Latin American Dance. Music is such a gift, something that has been enjoyed throughout the centuries, endless variations, choose one that makes your heart sing. Music is eternal. This picture is the first in a series of five depicting a theatrical scenario. Now the performers are arriving at the Stage Door. The second picture shows a dressing room where some of the female dancers are making ready, putting on make-up, perhaps reading the musical score, chatting about various aspects of this rehearsal, where they might meet later, so on and so forth. The third picture is the Rehearsal, overseen by the Ballet Mistress a Grande Old Dame of the theatre, whom will strive endlessly to achieve perfection within the performance, all will work and work until she feels that they are giving the very best they are able, only then will she dismiss them. The forth picture is the actural Performance in all its grandure, in the forfront we have a Gentleman wearing a Mask, also the magical essence of music who is, as always, striving to assist the performers whenever she can. She is nearly invisable, but all know she is there for them. Last but not least we have a young man sweeping the stage after the performance, he looks very happy to do this, maybe as he looks out into the empty theatre he imagines that one day he will be a performer on this stage. He has brought his supper with him as you can see. Also on stage are other workers, and of course the Theatre Ghosts whom appear frequently. Who is that in the Orchrestra Pit, a musician collecting something they had forgotten or could that be another spirit, they find it very hard to leave. Beautiful, loving, nurturing Mother Moon, the essence of devine female. She is shown here with a child not yet born, holding two babies that are newly born, not perhaps hers, but those in need of a loving mother. Surrounded with Moon flowers that only open at night, her flowers. The Astrological symbols signify her circumnavigation of the heavens. A lovely Moonlit night, animals love the Full Moon, when they feel her pressence strongly, why then should they not howl or sing to her. One of a pair this picture symbolizes the Elements of Air and Water, with a female figure reaching for the Moon, held aloft by the night sky. A young mermaid finds an abandoned Beach Ball, abandoned and forgotten at the end of the Season, how exited she is. She had watched the humans having fun all Summer, wondering why they never invited her to join them. But now she has a ball of her own, she sings to her friends 'come and join me'. How much do you need, we know that we should not be greedy or envious, but we sometimes might encounter the green Eyed Monster. These young women are about to do this. Can you imagine their dismay when they see him looming over them. They'll surely trip over all their parcels and goodies in their panic to get away. A nasty scare I'd say!!! What fun, even the little dog wants to join in. Symbolizing the Ancient Celtic celebration of Beltane. This picture shows what can happen when you forget to watch out for time, he has a way of catching up with you when you least expect it. Punchinello the first Italian Clown, rides in a medieval procession, his small dog rides behind him. The horse looks rather nervous, probably not a real horse but a Hobby horse maybe. Punchinello was the forunner to the character we know today as Mr. Punch. The old tree is watching a bonfire being built with his pruned branches, as is evident he already has lost several other limbs and is wondering what they might take away next. Rather a fun but silly painting in the vein of the early American Primitive style, that in fact could look very effective in a very old house.

A beautiful Moonlit garden, where one can find peace and tranquility, the Snake symbolizes wisdom and healing, to be found here also. The Moon rises over the still black water of the Mill pond,then cascades over the dam in a rushing torrent, one moment still and dark the next a seemingly white rushing fury of energy. Changing again as it hits the rocky shallows of the river bed, bubbling and dancing away. A salmon or two make their way up stream. The Violin has been transformed into a living entity by the musician who has played his Instrument with such love and compassion for many decades. The musical notation has leapt off of the manuscript and transcended to another etheric level, which is to be expected. The manuscript is endeavoring to follow by folding itself into the origami shapes of birds. Indicating different weather patterns, then slicing through some of the earths stratter. Within a deep caven we see a reptile, finally at the very back in the dark, a human figure sitting crossed legged in the leaves and debrie. Could this be full circle? Spring almost, the sun is melting the snow, we have lots of icicles, the little birds search for bare patches to scratch about in. Fantacy Female figure depicted whipping up musical notes, which transform into Butterflys and then fly away. One of a pair. Modernistic Garden Maze, shown in Summer. One of a pair. Modernistic Garden Maze, shown in Winter. Sculpture of the Sea. The second of a pair. This picture symbolizes the Elements of Earth and Fire, The Sun is held by a Phoenix. A male figure, would like to reach out for the Sun, but has to retreat and shelter from the burning heat within the rich tropical foliage.
