Some Drawings about Mary Magdalene

from the Diary of a Tree Standing On Its Head

Mary anointing the feet of Jesus. I find myself, in my heart seeing Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene as one Mary- incidentally I also see them as Eve.

What Sam Sees

What I See: Go On Shepherd and Lamb

by Sam Kee

My good friend Sam Kee wrote a nice essay about my little shepherd print. I marvel at how and what Sam sees in my art. If you want to read it it’s over at the Color of Dust Substack– no pay-wall. While Sam gives me more credit than I deserve, he truly helps me to see what I am, sometimes blindly, about. Every artist should be so fortunate to have friends who are willing to engage their work on such a deep level. Somehow I have more than a handful of them and I’m mighty grateful.

I’ve also released a second edition of this print for sale over at Baumwerkshop.com if you are interested. The stock might be low at the moment but there are more coming.

Orion Visits John Moriarty

From The Diary of a Tree Standing On It’s Head

John Moriarty describes a dream in which he hears a knock on his door late at night. He opens the door to the incarnation of the constellation of Orion. Orion as a representative of the whole Universe has come to deliver a message to John (as a representative of humanity?), concerning the accumulation of everything which humanity has believed about the Universe, well, the Universe doesn’t recognize themself in any of it.

Sacred Heart

This drawing is part of The Diary of a Tree Standing on it’s Head series I’ve been working on.

I also decided to make some prints of this one. They are for sale here at Baumwerkshop.com

The Cosmic Tree

“I cannot bear, nor even hear the voices of men

unless they be in song and sore-amazed at the nearing nearness,

soaring -soaring in awful timbre about the unified flame”
