Man Climbing Mountain
·It seems to be an end of life painting; getting to the end of the climb, exposed but nearing the top. The rope is the way down and there is no way down as the wooden pegs are slipping out. They were place keepers to find my way back and they're gone.
A friend felt as though the fellow was escaping from a hellish situation.
This painting made it to a juried show in Bridgewater, Massachusetts

Men Crawling
·I imagine burying my problems sometimes. And I read something wonderful; that the mess in our lives can be thought of as the compost that can grow new life.

And then I thought, 'No, dig myself up again and we'll go on together.

Man At Night
·I had a dream about this fellow. It was just this; a great fat man, kind of, floating or walking gingerly through the night with a lantern and a piece of paper. We just see the foliage imedaitely illuminated by the lantern. But it's important that he's deep in the woods. I worked with someone who looked like this at the time. This was him in my dream. A friend has described him as the dream bringer

Worship
·I had this image come to me after reading "The Bones of Peter". An account of the excavations under St. Peters in Rome where the archeologists there figure they've found the skeleton of Peter himself and all the importance of this in people's minds and how that's kind of strange.
