Yellow Submarine My interpretation to the lyrics of Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea And he told us of his life In the land of submarines So we sailed up to the sun Till we found the sea of green And we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine And our friends are all on board Many more of them live next door And the band begins to play We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine As we live a life of ease (A life of ease) Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need (Has all we need) Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of green) In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (Submarine, ha, ha) We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

A depiction of the lyrics to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. So, so you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail. A smile from a veil Do you think you can tell. And did they get you to trade, your heroes for ghosts. Hot ashes for trees Hot air for a cool breeze Cold comfort for change And did you exchange, a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage. How I wish, how I wish you were here. We are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found. The same old fears. Wish you were here..

Absinthe. Art Deco style oil painting on canvas. Shes out on the prowl, shes ready to take Shes looking for feelings, some real and some fake The night is so dark it surrounds all her senses She feels the chill air, it deepens defences She sips on her Absinthe and inhales the sweet scent Tonight will be different she will not lament Some hapless soul will fall foul of the deed Unwittingly drawn in by desire and need Her lust will abound and take control And tonight, at midnight, there is no parole.

Art Deco style oil painting on canvas. Courtenay is a lady who just loves to shop. A woman of means who delights in the feeling of being free to savour her desire for decadence. She strikes a pose in her world of glamour To claim her place and his hearts enamour Always on top and in the vogue No time for wasters or a handsome rogue Is she for real or is she a fake One things for certain she will make his heart ache.

Playing with Fire She laughs in the face of danger, she winks as she takes a shot. They can speculate all they like, but they know that she is hot Her many accomplishments, her numerous flings, these are a few of her favourite things There′s no fun in safety, it′s all about risk. She stirs them all up with her feminine whisk Some say she is foolish, a gambler by trade, puts her eggs in one basket when they′ve just been laid Skates close to the edge of the very thin ice, decides her tomorrow on the roll of a dice Men hang by a thread, or fall at her feet, tempted by lust her irresistible treat She will draw lots on those men who admire, and they will be certain they are Playing with Fire.

Social Butterfly All her desires and needs are right there, just above those clouds where she can prepare To flit and float with gregarious ease, to just be accepted in varying degrees Her easygoing nature keeps the smile on her face, but that smile fades quickly without any trace When she is alone, no comfort, no belonging, flicking through her diary, the agony prolonging Until her next flight into the people throng, those fair-weather friends, none lifelong She unfurls her wings, looks up to the sky, and majestically flutters, that Social Butterfly.

Paper Roses As a birthday present, I attended an acrylic workshop by Lisa Christiansen who showed me how to work with acrylics in the same way that I worked with oils. I had a problem with glazing and layers, so once Lisa had opened my eyes I started to play and I am now enjoying working with acrylic paints. This is my tribute to Lisa, see what you helped to create!

Michael Hutchence These are the lyrics to Possibilities, from Michael′s solo album that was released after his death. It′s so strange How my life′s changed I know nothing About the people that I touched Heard a story It sounded easy If you don′t care Then you′re lying through your teeth I was shook up Intoxicated Drank the juices Of the possibilities I′m so alive If you told me Nothing′s perfect Hearts are broken Nothing′s free I could show you Why it′s worth it That′s the way that it′s meant to be It′s too strange How your life′s changed You know nothing About the people that you′ve touched Someone told me Life is easy Hearts were bleeding and breaking They were lying through their teeth If you told me Nothing′s perfect Hearts are broken Nothing′s free I will show you Why it′s worth it And that′s the way that it′s meant to be If you told me Nothing′s perfect Hearts are broken Nothing′s free I could show you Why it′s worth it That′s the way that it′s meant to be Heard a story It sounded easy Got a new skin and I′m lying through my teeth I was shook up Intoxicated I drank the juices of the possibilities Of the possibilities

Mark Knopfler The Sultan of Swing. Another painting inspired by song lyrics. You get a shiver in the dark It′s been raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel all right when you hear that music ring You step inside but you don′t see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Too much competition too many other places But not too many horns can make that sound Way on downsouth, way on downsouth, London town You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords Mind he′s strictly rhythm he doesn′t want to make it cry or sing And an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn′t mind if he doesn′t make the scene He′s got a daytime job he′s doing alright He can play honky tonk just like anything Saving it up for Friday night With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing And a crowd of young boys they′re fooling around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don′t give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain′t what they call rock and roll And the Sultans played Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings ′Thank you goodnight now it′s time to go home′ and he makes it fast with one more thing ′We are the Sultans of Swing′

Where R U A modern take on an age old problem. Where is he, why is he late, the camels were fine last time I looked, so why is he not here with me? In the old days, she would have sat and waited but in the new age of modern technology, he could at least phone her, or even send a text! Just a fun painting, very bright and colourful.

Lady Bountiful The summer so far had been long and hot, Mummy and Daddy were off on their yacht To pass the long days until learning returned, she would make the most of the time she had earned The farmer seemed pleased that she was so willing, to work in the fields and help with the tilling As well as the picking of veggies and fruit, she had gathered her thoughts that were now so astute The powers that be that decided her life, had caused her concern, had caused them all strife Her Mother was noted, for her charity work, her Father only known for being a political jerk The US Anthem, never meant to condemn, was its true meaning really Us and Them? She was the privileged child with no cares in this world, and she carried her flag completely unfurled But no matter how open, how truthful, how keen, she was always caught up in the media machine She worked hard and long throughout the hot day, and the cornucopia begun to heavily weigh She rested a while, the harvest outpouring, and noticed above her an eagle was soaring Silently rising up effortlessly into the sky, watching her intently with his piercing gold eye The rooster, who had followed her from the outset, also spied the eagle and was starting to fret As she slowly wiped away the sweat from her brow, she gently whispered inside a solemn vow Anthems are one thing, true goodness is not, I will not become part of the hysteria plot Make an Ass out of you and me, if you only assume, that being real only ends up in dismal doom Let the seeds of humanity continue to grow, and no matter how poor or rich, reap what you sow Stay genuine, be generous, charitable and liberal, and remain as always The Lady Bountiful.

This diptych represents a couple, sometimes at odds with each other, but in total Synchronicity as well. The black lines are the same on each painting, each one being a mirror image of the other, but the other shapes are coloured differently to echo their individual perspectives on the situations going on around them. Because of the synchronicity of each piece, this diptych can be hung in 16 different positions, but each way will line up with each other. Whoever gets to own this painting will be able to choose how they want to hang the pieces to portray their life at that moment in time. They can then change them around according to their particular mood. Painted on deep edge box gallery canvas in quality oil paints, with the painting continuing around the edges and in deep Art Deco colours. The price quoted is for both paintings. Currently on exhibition at Artrium Gallery, Wellington, New Zealand
Synchronicity 3661 USD

Angst Take a life, an artists life Make it hard, give them strife Turn them into someone forlorn Dont think twice about pouring scorn Upon their work, for all to see Does it well with intense glee Cloaking you with their disdain Its not the trend Are you insane Its too much this or not enough that With a sneer you are turned down flat Time ticks away, you still produce Your heart and mind need no excuse To create at will, is your Endeavour To climb the ladder of success, however Many times they snap the rungs You will climb and shout with expanding lungs You will not hide your work away In dusty drawers in disarray You want the eyes of the world to gaze Upon your work and lift the haze To break fragile shells, and look inside No longer run, no longer hide Break through the fabric of your life Your brush becomes a switchblade knife. Will be part of my Solo Exhibition A Story to Tell at Zohar Gallery - see Exhibitions page for details.

Pure Greenius.
