Happy Walk Mutterings of the Muses: What if this guy crossed your path? Even spirits are allowed to take happy walks. This must have been a very good day, or my sub-conscience was filled with gratitude for a series of similar sculptures I made years earlier. Either way, there could be no other title to … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #380 – Happy Walk
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #379 – Ol’ Groucho
Ol’ Groucho Mutterings of the Muses: It's odd what contributes to ones sense of humour. On occasion I am amazed to what extent the Marx Brothers are part of my everyday aesthetic vernacular. I quite certain the ghost of Groucho lives in some part of my head. Perhaps swimming in a duck soup, or surfacing … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #379 – Ol’ Groucho

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #377 – We Are The Masks We Wear
We Are The Masks We Wear Mutterings of the Muses: In the seemingly endless search for ourselves, we sometimes find many masks to wear.

Trying on … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #377 – We Are The Masks We Wear

Forest Spirit Mutterings of the Muses: From the forests of Japan, through the Canadian tundra, to the Jungles of Africa, the indigenous people tell folktales of spirits that guide, scare and exact revenge on the folks brave enough to walk their forests.

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #348 – Qcpg 13-015
Qcpg 13-015 Imaginings from what is perceived: Squash flowers are just strange. They are not quite plump like a succulent’s leaves, but there’s more water in them than regular petals. They also seem crustacean in some off way. Maybe it’s the claw-like way the petals grow forward, before opening fully and filing off. Then the … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #348 – Qcpg 13-015
