SOMETHING SEEDY 2.

This view of a piece of pumpkin reminds me of a waterfall.

THE LIFFEY FALLS

We've had a lot of rain lately and in fact I recorded 29 mm over a 14 hour period up to 3pm today. With that in mind, my wife Val and I are off to the Liffey Valley tomorrow to see how much water is flowing through the Liffey Valley.

This area is about an hour's drive from our place and is a magnificent area of temperate rainforest.

The waterfall pictured today accompanied by two versions with different filters added, is the main feature of the valley. I shall post some images tomorrow to compare/contrast with today's image.

SINGLE OBJECTS Part 2.

The scallop shell is an important symbol in my art. It is associated with baptism in the Christian faith as well as featuring in some of my beach scenes purely for its own sake.

Today I have been researching some new work and one of my ideas is a new 'take' on the subject of Baptism. I have one idea that will feature a waterfall coming from the sky onto the shell and a school of fish swimming around the shell to form a frame. A dove (the Holy Spirit)will be hovering overhead. Where is the water coming from and where is it going? All will be revealed, hopefully in the next fortnight. Before then I have a detailed abstract to finish and a drawing on the 'Tree of Life' to start.

Which shell do you prefer? My choice is the last one, but I will rotate it 180 degrees.
