REBIRTH OF VENUS

2004
Acrylic on Board
125 x 65 Inc frame (no glass).

6) Rebirth of Venus shows: 1. Goddess Tree, (womb) gives birth to Venus the Goddess of love. 2. Venus, one face of the Mother Goddess gives birth to the Craft. 3. The pentacle is balanced between black and white, (representing Magic). 4. The ‘TEMPLE OF THESEUS’ is a miniature of a 6th century B.C. Temple in Athens. 5. Standing stones of golden sand glow with energy of Mother Earth. 6. A Full Moon beams her energy down on Venus invigorating her whole body. 7. The obelisk with phallic top is being caressed by the hand of Venus burst with the stuff of life. 8. The writing on the obelisk is real and refers to an unsolved murder mystery. 9. The whole painting shows a balance between black and white, or night and day. 10.Venus as depicted here is vibrant and glowing, renewed and reborn. 11. The body of Venus is shown in a loving pose and pulls all of the Hagley structures together.

PYRAMID POWER

1999
Oil on Canvas
125 x 80 Inc frame (no glass).

3) Pyramid power shows an Egypt of long ago when the pyramids were regularly used/ Cosmic ships float across during an electrical storm as the pyramid tips are struck with massive amounts of electricity. The pyramids then store it for later use. This causes the Nile to run blood red. The whole scene show perspective can be played with.

DREAM TIME

1995
Oil on Canvas
126 x 80 Inc frame (no glass).

4) Dreamtime shows a real dream I had stood outside these watery objects floated towards me, and then I realized I could reach up and catch one? As I held it a spherical ball came out the top and cracked up to hatch a little dragon, which bit me. The background scene shows Sacred mountain sites of South America.

DANCING STONES

1998
Oil on Canvas
100 x 66 Inc frame (no glass).

5) Dancing stones shows the standing stones of Clannish, which to me look as if they are dancing. The colours are vivid on purpose to show the strength of the elementals. Above to represent air is what looks like a flying egg through a fire red sky. It is as if the stones are alive!

ORION TIME

2005
Acrylic on Board
55 x 45 Inc frame (with glass).

7) Orion time shows a painting based on my name, it was not planned and just came to me as if by Magic. Orion’s belt and a giant sperm, the male life force. Also slightly industrial as if riveted, with a witch trapped in a glass ball?

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

2000
Acrylic on board
105 x 75 Inc frame (no glass).

2) Dark side of the moon shows another Earth we cannot see, one that time forgot. Or is it the shadow of how this Earth was? The other Earth is full of a substance called angel web.

SUNFLOWERS DEAD

1989
Water Colour & Wax
66 x 88 Inc frame (with glass).

8).Dead sunflowers is a tribute to Van Gogh and to the most famous set of paintings ever. I tried to copy his style in a simple way.

EARTH MAGIC

1988
Oil on Board
105 x 65 inc frame (no glass).

1) Earth Magic shows a Cosmic ship floating over Earth spirits as they perform their Sacred Rites within a Stonehenge. The outers stone circles glow with energy. The cone of power bursts up to the mother ship as it refuels. The Earth Magic is complete and balanced until the next visit?
 
Education and biography
I have many Engineering qualifications and letters after my name, plus in Auto CAD & Supervisory Management.
