Hole in the Sky

This new piece, a diptych, was based on an unusual and compelling visual "happening" while meditating on the shore of Canyon Lake. (It seemed as though I could see through the daylight sky into the infinity of space.)

Yes, I was sober! I don't assert any higher meaning to this, nor do I rule it out... but it was fascinating and beautiful.

Arowana: an Elegant Predator

The freshwater arowana is a primitive, solitary, and altogether odd family of fishes. This specimen is typical of the South American varieties, but they are also found in Asia, Africa, and Australia. His longevity as a species depends upon his hyper-aggression and his fearless hunting technique. Arowanas have been observed jumping more than six feet out of the water to feed on unsuspecting insects and birds (thus earning them the nickname, 'water monkeys').

Insofar as form follows function, this carnivorous river dweller is an elegant, athletic predator whose appearance makes plain who and what he is. Beautiful.
