The story was inspired after I was intrigued by the Galahs antics on a recent trip to West Australia. It belongs in my series named "The Pillars of Heaven". The series explores the joys in life through seeing the simple things played out before us. When we express gratitude we experience further joy and if we are one of the fortunate ones who has had heavens mysteries opened to us there is yet another level of joy added. I like parables, allegories, proverbs, and mystery because it entices us to ask questions which lead to answers. That is why I have included indigenous art in the story telling. In this story, the Galahs (Native to Australia) were frolicking and drinking in a puddle of water created by a leaking street water main. I enjoyed the moment and wanted others to understand the pleasure you get when you take time out to observe the natural antics of wildlife. I had photographed many telling images from this moment and to be honest I was overwhelmed with choices for the series. Time management controlled the outcome and once the series of digital reproductions are selling I will create an original oil painting to finish the series. THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL ART SYMBOLISM: I love the vibrancy and symbolism in native arts, in particular, Aboriginal dot painting. The language in Dot paintings today is recognized globally as unique and integral to Australian Aboriginal art. On the surface, the dot is simply a style of Aboriginal painting, like the use of cross-hatching or stencil art used in Western art. Exploring deeper into the history of the Aboriginal dot painting a world of camouflage, secrecy, and ritual is discovered. What the Aboriginal depicted in their desire to worship from the culture I now use and explore the visual medium from my culture to tell the stories of what I see. I am indebted to the Great Divine for the Aboriginals wisdom in story telling and the simple use of what was at hand to make their worship visible.

The accolades include being an Assistant Art Director, Creative Director, Fashion illustrator, editorial illustrator, political cartoonist, campaign director and general artist learning the twists and turns of an industry traveling through major changes from drafting board to computers. “The greatest gift God gave to man is not sight; it is a creative vision. The eyes function is sight. The spirits function is a creative vision. Natural eyes see the world. Spiritual eyes, (the heart of man) creates a vision for living. Embedded within every spirit is a hunger to discover something true to idolize and what we idolize will either destroy us or create a life worth living.” ~ Ian Anderson
