The Katanga Sunbird

The mythical bird of the Katanga savanna - a cousin to the  Bird of Paradise which is not actually a bird at all. How absurd.
Ink on paper (8 1/2" x 11") 1984 Lubumbashi
The Katanga Sunbird is rumoured to enjoy rushes in the marshland of the artificial lake. Very inky!

The Gulf meets the Island and plays.

Sea and Sky are One

Enduring the lasting misty presence that persists despite the wishes of 100,000 plus for it to disperse.
Begone grey! Then out comes the sun and all is well.

Once I lived on a Mountain - reprised

Once I lived on a mountain - cypress trees grew there, in abundance.
Cypress in Yellow, 1998 (acrylic on paper)
Veils of Haifa, 1998 (acrylic on paper)
Cypresses at Bahji, 2000 (acrylic on paper)
They still grow there on terraces and in circles. They surround the olive groves and interact with palm trees, always reaching upward.

Warriors

Swirling about on the page, moving forward in a big hurry. Warriors they are - each with a fancy weapon.
