CLOUDS

 

Clouds
Looking at the vast masses of cloud in evening-sky
will be a meditation that the souls of the
dead may be floating through heaven as
majestically looking down on everything below…..

Clouds.
Down the blue night the unending columns ‘press
In noiseless tumult, break and wave and flow,
Now tread the far South, or lift rounds of snow
Up to the white moon’s hidden loveliness.
Some pause in their grave wandering comradeless,
And turn with profound gesture vague and slow,
As who would pray good for the world, but know
Their benediction empty as they bless.
They say that the Dead die not, but remain
Near to the rich heirs of their grief and mirth.
I think they ride the calm mid-heaven, as these,
In wise majestic melancholy train,
And watch the moon, and the still-raging seas,
And men, coming and going on the earth……

                                                     Rupert Brooke 1887-1915.

Maili Blue
”In Ancient Hawaii, the great Gods of Sea, Land, And Sky united in the
Cosmic Celebration to create Maili Point, my favorite spot in the Islands.
Always sunny, always sweet, always great surfing.”

Clouds: a theme for many varied artists.
Mysterious clouds, something exalted in this painting.
Are they a warning for the ‘too much wanted’ human beings: too much property,
too much luxury and too much wealth on earth….?
Just a warning to take care of the beautiful nature and the ancient beliefs in Hawaii?
It seems the Point will tell, assisted by the threatening clouds: there is no further…..

Note: No coincidence this is Richard’s favorite spot in the Islands, here he can be one with nature.
Here he can create!
         No coincidence his company is called: “Maili Point Productions”.

Birth of a Rainbow.
“Magnificent Maili Point, with the Waianae Mountains swooping down to the turquoise ocean.
Here, unpredictable, the sea gives birth to arching rainbows,
a sign that the Hawaiian Gods are pleased.”

The Rainbow, a symbol against destroying earth.
A continuing of Maili Blue….Did the people obey the warning of the clouds…
The clouds are still watching over Maili Point, and at last there will be new life and happiness.


Moonscape.
“Defying Night’s darkness, the Moon drapes glistening pathways across the
sea and flashes among wind- swept waves.”

The contrast Dark and Light.
Is the night ominous or will there be  joy in the morning?
The moon gives energy for continuing…
The blue between the dark and the light gives hope and rest,….
there will be a beautiful day!

Landscape.
Memories of Sussex
A very early painting.


Human figures in the clouds.
A rampant growth in the foreground; also a mysterious growth…what is it?



 

A closer look will learn: beautiful plants and flowers.
A call for communication….between all lives on earth?
What do we call it today? Nature……environment….
