New Chapters

The computer medium is challenging, but I love learning new things that can enhance and accompany the traditional Artwork. Creating websites keeps the long and short-term visions open and organized at the same time. The Majesty of Trees website is a place to organize the upcoming solo exhibit, identify, and share information. A lot of tree-photography taken over the past few years is posted here, and it’s exciting bringing the best together in these categories: Flowering Trees, Bark, Leaves, Roots, Fruit- Nuts – Seeds, Oddities, Textures, Looking Up, Seasonal, Cityscapes, and more.
Galahs in Traffic, version 1
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006
Galahs in Traffic - Version 1 – This drawing started out to be a portrait of the Norfolk Island Pines growing in this coastal area of South Australia. Many of the pieces in the Paper Places series have a first stage at the end of a day or two worth of work where it could be called finished, then further scrutiny says that it needs to be changed.
1) This is an area unlike any other, where flocks of Galahs flew directly into the traffic on the main highway leading to the Kangaroo Island ferry. Dead Galahs lay along the side of the road for miles. After two days of work and remembering the horrifying feelings of that scene, it was undeniably clear that the drawing as it is in the stage above, even though it could be called finished, is stagnant, ordinary, and so very unsuitable for the subject and what takes place there every day.
