This veteran motorcar was on display in the local Ipswich Library. I think this car was built in 1909, and called a Kurmobile.
There seems to be a number of different makes of cars in those days that all looked the same!

The Green Man - a semi impressionistic study
The Green Man is my idea of a semi impressionistic painting - the man in the painting is looking into his computer while talking to me on the Internet.

Carpark Sunset - artwork with sunset and cars
I painted this sunset based somewhat loosely on a photo I took with my mobile camera (cell phone) some time ago. I was standing in the carpark (parking lot) of our local liquor store when I just had to snap the beautiful sunset that presented itself. We have had a lot of cloud and rain over the last couple of years - while the floods were not welcome, some of the sunsets were magnificent!

The Dark Side - a poem about life
The Dark Side by Paul
Howlett
1 The dark side of life
2 A move to the left
3 Do we have the right
4 To be good and bad
5 Do people take a walk
6 A walk to the wild side
7 Do we need the fact
8 That life is not on tract
9 Finding things about ourselves
10 Darkside of our character
11 That scares the soul
12 Clinging to the truth
13 Finding the light
14 Shining so bright
15 Cleaning the spirit
16 Making us whole
17 Unity is the answer
18 Blending the good
19 Blending the bad
20 Forgetting the duality
21 Becoming whole, healthy
22 Loving life with a smile
23 Seeking the good
24 Making our way
25 And seeking to be
26 Happy, happy with life!!
The reason that I have gone back and numbered all the lines in this poem is that I received some (a lot) of interesting comments and feedback from an old friend of mine, (Rev. Rick Anderson). He is not on the Internet so I have been printing out my poems and mailing them to him for time to time (together with other items). Here is some of the comments that Rick wrote:
"...it does fit into a (what I would call) "Concerto". By this I mean, it starts on a gentle note (lines 1 -3) then progresses into a louder and louder movement (lines 4 - 11), evens out on a plateau (lines 12-15), then takes a louder, more profound, percussion type climax (lines 16-20). Then, after all this dramatic and empathic music, concludes like a pastoral symphony or movement with a "Mantric" feel leaving the listener calm and hopeful and satisfied, after a dramatic /symphony that encapsulates the spectrum of emotion."

Man in White - artwork in black and white
This little painting was created late at night, after I had finished working on my 'regular artwork', with some left over paint.
I had a look at it the following morning and and added some more white paint to give the artwork a 'funky' look. Hope you enjoy.
