A large feature painting in oil on canvas – Part of the 2024 exhibition of work at Ocean View’s Gallery, “Storm Warning”
The work is in the show is guided by this wonderful poem by Adrienne Rich .
The glass has been falling all the afternoon,
And knowing better than the instrument
What winds are walking overhead, what zone
Of grey unrest is moving across the land,
I leave the book upon a pillowed chair
And walk from window to closed window, watching
Boughs strain against the sky
And think again, as often when the air
Moves inward toward a silent core of waiting,
How with a single purpose time has traveled
By secret currents of the undiscerned
Into this polar realm. Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on
Regardless of prediction.
Between foreseeing and averting change
Lies all the mastery of elements
Which clocks and weatherglasses cannot alter.
Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.
I draw the curtains as the sky goes black
And set a match to candles sheathed in glass
Against the keyhole draught, the insistent whine
Of weather through the unsealed aperture.
This is our sole defense against the season;
These are the things we have learned to do
Who live in troubled regions.
-Adrienne Rich

A mixed media painting on vintage Whatman paper ~ the prime version of a larger work in oil on canvas.
I often look to poetry to name my paintings and came across this wonderful poem by Adrienne Rich –
The glass has been falling all the afternoon,
And knowing better than the instrument
What winds are walking overhead, what zone
Of grey unrest is moving across the land,
I leave the book upon a pillowed chair
And walk from window to closed window, watching
Boughs strain against the sky
And think again, as often when the air
Moves inward toward a silent core of waiting,
How with a single purpose time has traveled
By secret currents of the undiscerned
Into this polar realm. Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on
Regardless of prediction.
Between foreseeing and averting change
Lies all the mastery of elements
Which clocks and weatherglasses cannot alter.
Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.
I draw the curtains as the sky goes black
And set a match to candles sheathed in glass
Against the keyhole draught, the insistent whine
Of weather through the unsealed aperture.
This is our sole defense against the season;
These are the things we have learned to do
Who live in troubled regions.

When I make up a vintage piece of embroidery I often get a sense of the person who created it many years ago.
This piece is a bit different because it’s so beautiful and yet it’s unfinished…many stories have spun around as I stitch. Each ending different.
Made in the spring of life with such devotion and preparedness.
Nothing could have prepared this fine needlewoman for the future of her skillful endeavour and I hope that I have paid a suitable tribute to her by mounting the unfinished piece, along with the webbing that stretched the fabric, onto a soft pinky brown silk, using a length of frilled trim, kept for years waiting for the right project.
Whoever comes to own this beautiful piece of work, abandoned before completion, will probably mull upon the possible tale it tells as I have…with the freedom to change its story to suit oneself.

I saw a unicorn today.
It first appeared in the far distance on the misty bay.
The dog and I stood to watch as the beast moved along the line of the outgoing tide towards us.
Sunlight shone rainbow droplets through a flying mane and flag end tail as its thunderous hooves crashed through the gently rippling water. As it came closer I was filled with fear; what I had thought to be a fine white horse was this wondrous creature, with its sharply pointed horn gleaming ike a sword carved from mother of pearl.
We stood stock still, frozen as the unicorn veered tumultuously towards us – passing so close that we sensed the heat from its gleaming flanks and felt the breeze in its wake.
With explosive force it mounted the shingle bank, blasting pebbles in a roaring avalanche as it clambered the steep wall of stones.
Then it was gone.
As we dazedly walked towards home and safety. I realised that it had spoken to me as it passed, burying its message in my mind.
I am powerful resourceful and emblematic.
I am the giver of life
The curer of disease
I am alone, live alone, travel alone…
I don’t exist.

At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow
and bring The eternal note of sadness in…

This drawing was competed in 1982 when I lived in San Diego. It is from an image that I discovered of Lucille Ball when she was young.
Having been a great fan of “I Love Lucy”as a child – I couldn’t resist. And the image carries some of the disquiet and feelings of misplacement that I felt during these days.
