Over Under Sideways Down

Posted by Conceptual Muse on December 23, 2011

#40 – Tuesday December 20th

A bit of an anomaly . . . my traditional orientation tends toward the vertical, but every now and again, one of my canvasses just wants to go sideways, and who am I to argue. The jumping off point for this painting, a late afternoon while watching raindrops drip from the boughs of a fir tree. It was after a hard days efforts, under a sky the color of bruised skin, and as the afternoon slid toward evening, and happenstance would have it, into night illuminated by a full moon. It all begins somewhere, and the adventure from start to where ever, is the wild ride . . . over under sideways down . . .

Thanks for reading

Charles

The Joy of Colour

Wow!

Scéalta Ealaíne

Early this morning, hundreds of people gathered at Newgrange in Co. Meath to mark the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. On the days around the solstice, between the 19th and the 23rd of December, the light from the rising sun shines straight into the inner chamber at Newgrange, as it has done since the passage grave was first constructed about 5000 years ago. It was cloudy this morning however, so there wasn’t much to see, but the solstice falls on the 22nd of December this year, so hopefully tomorrow, the clouds will stay back and allow the light of the Sun to reach into the ceremonial chamber and illuminate the mysterious symbols carved into its stone walls.

Unfortunately the knowledge and understanding of those who constructed this monument is lost in the mists of time but we do know that after tomorrow, the days will grow longer…
