Interlacement With Fish
This picture is really about the interlacement of two offset waves which each create a little fish where they intersect. The big fish in the foreground is designed to distract and give a focus to the unwary :-) although, it's true, thoughts of Chinese Prosperity Feng Shui goldfish went through my mind there at some point.

Dragon Rising
I painted that during the same time as I wrote a book about metaphors called Project Sanctuary. The two are linked and the dragon of this painting has become the logo for the book/process. I am very fond of it, in spite of various comments from people telling me they thought it looked like a
bean sprout, phoenix, and Freudian sex thing respectively!
However, a few years after I painted it I came across a book on Chinese medicine which refers to "Dragon Rising" as the spiritual awakening, like Kundalini rising. I didn't know that at all and thought it was way cool.

The Chalice
I dreamed of a chalice and it haunted me to the extent that I eventually decided to paint it.
It ended up very three D with lots of gold structure, layered gel crystal, turquoise and jade, and the real life version is far richer, more sparkly and generally much, much more impressive than this :-).

Imagination
This is one of a series of "magic art" very (very!) loosely based on celtic rune symbols, rune staffs, rather. It has a purpose in that it isn't ornamental, but an energy channeller that sits on your wall and does its thing. I usually do the rune staff first then let the old unconscious mind fill in the rest, without arguing with it as to design or colour. The pictures end up as interesting surprises usually :-)

The Magicians
That is my first true breakthrough painting. I dreamed about being at a magician's conference and had this memory of it, clear and strong, and in particular a view of an enraged crowd outside the hotel where the conference was held. The crowd was barely contained by policemen. I sat for about two weeks trying to get a drawn outline but how do you paint an angry crowd and a bunch of policemen, for god's sake?
In the end the light bulb came on and I *represented* the crowd by flames, the steps by those circular things, the policemen became a thin blue line. Makes a pleasing painting and I stopped obsessing about the dream as soon as I had put my signature into the wet paint.

Fire
This is from a series of stained glass style illustration for a novel about magic and love. I've worked out if I was to actually *make* that window in the size it's supposed to be, the glass in this design alone would cost in the region of 3,000 USD. And that's without breaking too much whilst cutting it. One day, one day
