    I'm looking forward to the Exhibition and good luck with the blog.
    Keith had a profound affect on my life although unfortunately I never told him, despite chatting to him over the years. As a teenager and at that time of my life (1970), holiday maker, I used to stand in the arcade down on the harbour and watch Keith work his magic. Sadly Keith is no longer with us, but his spirit lives on and I am fortunate enough to own some of his prints and an original oil on canvas.

    Wish I could have met him, and wish I could see the exhibit in person! You’ll have to take and share photos for us across the pond!

Unicorns, Pegasus and other mythical beasts - part ll

Image
Parallel Dimensions The stunning image of Pegasus the flying horse has captured our imaginations since the days when Greek mythology began. There is something so free and noble about him. In the stories, Pegasus often uses his powers to rescue others. According to legend, Pegasus was the offspring of the sea god Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa. The white sea foam gave him his brilliant white colour. Illuminated Pathways Keith was always fascinated by the concept of a black hole. What if it divides us from another Universe?  What if it is ruled by Mother God? What if it is parallel to us but in negative relief? So many mysteries to explore! Keith asked all these questions. I like to think he is bounding through the Universe now gathering all his answers!!! And if he could command the Pegasus he would be flying free! The Story of Semele This painting, The Story of Semele, is a depiction from Handel's opera 'Semele'. Zeus loved the princess Semele and she, in fa...

Where it all began...

Image
St Ives Harbour at Dawn A lot of you own or have seen examples of Keith's early work. When Keith first started painting he began with subjects that he could see... He used actual models or he painted a seascape or landscape that impressed him with it's beauty. He used to say that if it stood still long enough he would paint it! His subjects never remained exactly the same. After several years of painting the sea or schooners he would shift to painting clowns or character studies. The pathos in the single tear on the face of his very unique clowns have the ability to make you feel reflective or sad. Because of the emotion that he brought to the surface through the paint, you either loved them or not. But no one could deny the skill behind them. Keith had a wry sense of humour and often this was evident in the paintings, making you smile. EscarGOt - these snails are impossible to eat! Everyone loves the seascapes... he captured water so beautifully, emplo...

For the love of our beautiful planet...

Image
Unrequited Love Keith loved our planet with all of his being. He saw and appreciated her beauty every single day. This painting was first titled "Lost Will" but as so often happened when paintings were around long enough, Keith felt her meaning had changed and he re-titled her "Unrequited Love". He longed for all of us to hear a wake up call and start to protect our amazing planet Earth. Here we see Earth as a beautiful woman rising through the maelstrom beneath her. Mother In this depiction of Earth she is seen as an ancient woman being overseen and protected by a beautiful goddess in the heavens. Keith titled this painting "Mother". I once saw two women viewing her and they said to each other, " My mother was never a dolly-bird like that!" missing the message altogether! But we are all entitled to our opinions and it did make us smile! I wrote the following poem for this: Mother With unconditional love she nurtures us Forgi...
