UNDERTOW
The undertow sucks you while your sleeping,
Dreaming of the perfect wave,
Knees buckle as Baby Blue suckles,
taking your strength…
Your life-force.
Offering only a deeper ennui,
A place to settle,
A place to contemplate
The Naval scene,
Deep was in me,
Deep was silence,
Deep was darkness,
Deep was still.
And to breathe meant a subtle death,
A silent scream…
The stream washes it away,
Washes everything away,
Soul torn by the fickle thrall,
Of the depth defying undertow.

These represent some of the stages my paintings have gone through, I searched for a style through abstract, landscape and figurative. It has taken years to get anywhere near good enough to satisfy myself. I know that a lot of these are rubbish… But they are a useful to a would-be artist as paintings that people can readily enjoy. Some are political… I was angry about chem trails and tried to paint the desecration of the skies as I saw it.
A lot of the shard paintings describe the disintegration I felt during my seperation and divorce. To be honest, It was more to do with guilt over letting my children down than thinking I had made a mistake. Moving in with the woman I love was the best thing I ever did… For all of us, I think.

ROBIN WILLIAMS HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE! more to do with work stress, than painting problems.
