Photo Albums

Ms P got hold of three of the same type of photo album and asked for colourful covers for them. I knew the utilitarian nature of a photo album and that these paintings/collages would not last forever – as long as Miles got a photo of them for the Web then it didn’t matter.

They were spontaneous, without little occult forethought or significance, but nonetheless a lot of fun. I am looking at them as I write this…

1 The Sermon on the Mount

A fascination with the island of Gozo near Malta (and part of the Maltese nation) led to this scene. I was reading Dr Paul Brunton’s interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount and, in particular, the Beatitudes at the time. Scissors out, a Maltese tourist brochure and some 7th century figurines from the megalithic community of Gozo slowly morphed into an odd assembly at Christ’s feet. He is the one with the halo.

I have Google Earth located it approximately where it was held - in the lowest place on earth, not a mount at all. Wiki 'Sermon on the Mount' and they direct you to the Church of the Beatitudes, northern Galilee. I honestly think no one is certain where our Blessed Christ delivered the Beatitudes. The most beautiful interpretation i have ever read of the Beatitudes is by Dr Paul Brunton. He was a practitioner of yoga and has applied this science in his writing.

I found good info in a wiki feed:

Tabgha (Arabic: الطابغة‎), known in Hebrew as Ein Sheva (עין שבע), an area situated on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel, is the traditional site of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 6:30-46) and the third resurrection appearance of Jesus (John 21:1-24) in Christianity. The site's name is derived from the Greek name Heptapegon ("seven springs"). St. Jerome referred to Tabgha as "the solitude" (=eremos).

Acrylic, gouache, and cut outs from a Maltese tourist brochure 2007 (this one contains the 3-D portfolio I carry around).

No matter how many times i tried to relocate it on Google Earth the Smug-icon insisted on one spot. So i left it there - perhaps that is where God wants it.
