A FOREST CLEARING EARLY MORNING
Cedric (the deer) stands by the grave of his deceased wife.

He lost her 5 years ago and often passes this part of the forest to pay his respects.
To indulge in the tranquillity of mourning and to simply, enjoy the delicate sounds of the wilderness.

He thinks of her, her smell and her doe eyes, her sense of humour. He thinks of Gary Larson and of Robert De Niro.

He then pictures the hunter’s face and what he would do if their paths ever crossed again.

He bows his head.

His left paw stomps on the forest floor.
A gentle rain falls, making “pattering” sounds on the fallen autumn leaves.
A twig snaps and Cedric turns his head.
The rain stops. The suns “cathedral“ beams shine on the dancing dust particles. They stand out white against the forest’s dark trees.

Cedric is gone.

26. “In solitude. He gathers up and carefully pushes around his memories of the past year.”
Pastel, conte, & coloured pencil on paper 12×16cm I 2011

27. “To atone for his stubbornness and narrow views Isaac, through force of will, would grow an insekty, hammerjack horn – dig his own grave and lie in it. And that every seven years.”
Pastel, conte, & coloured pencil on paper
12×16cm I 2011

28. “Ghost cloud passes blind man procession”
Pastel, conte & coloured
pencil on Fabriano
21×30cm I 2010

29. “Often, never, always! Why were these words ringing in my ears? As the dish turned, I got my answer”
Pastel & conte on Arches Satine
30×40cm I 2010

30. “A moonlight, monochrome dance, unaware of fates soft hand approaching.” Ink, crayon, pastel, conte on watercolour paper, mounted on a wooden panel
20×30cm I 2010
