'Kingdom of the Condor’

My first single image quadtych is of an Andean Condor sailing over the vast footland’s beneath the mountains around Chuquibambilla, cattle country par excellence in the Apurimac region of southern Peru. This largest flying bird in the western hemisphere would make an impressive National bird for Peru, yet alas, it’s not. That is the colourful Cock-of-the-rock you see sat quietly on the second post from the left. Certainly here as a vagrant from its usual habitat of the mountain cloud forest to the east of here, this Peruvian member of the Cotinga birds is the holder of that title.

'Wolf Moon 2009’

The Wolf Moon falls in January, and that of 2009 was the biggest and brightest of the year, even more so than the forthcoming Hunters Moon which is ordinarily the biggest of the year.
I photographed this event through the branches of a London Plane tree, the cold weather creating added glow around her. 
It next occurs on 2010 Jan 30 06:19, GMT

'Reflections of a China Temple

The sun sets over a Chinese lake, reflecting itself and what may be  a Ming dynasty temple, this painting I did many years ago as a gift for a friend. I recently got to see it again and it was like meeting a long lost friend in it's own way too, it always feels like that when you see a painting you did in the past again. I took the opportunity to modify it a little and photograph it.

The painting is based on a photo I remember in a magazine given to me by a Red Guard  when I went to the port of  Tsing Tao in  north China with a British merchant ship called the  Armadale  in 1979.

'Old Crow’

An old Crow perches on a post that could have been his own for decades, taking his time so as not to betray his food stash to an intruding flock of Crows , otherwise known as a Storytelling or Murder of Crows, sifts through the snow.

‘Ravens Moon’

'Crow Moon'

A Crows reflection passes eerily under that of a Full moon on a lake, there is no Crow to be seen in the air to cause it.
Crow Moon is a Native American name for the Moon in March.
English and Celtic names include Chaste Moon and Moon of Winds. 
Crow Moon is the first painting to carry my Seawitch signature.

Acrylic on canvas 10 x 14 inch

'Owl Moon'

Owl Moon was inspired by my Crow Moon painting, a Witch friend asked me to paint it for her.
An ancient Oak guards the waters edge that reflects the full Moon and an overhead Owl that could be a resident of the Oak.
All Owls are sacred to the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, which has special meaning here.
