- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Autumn has given Winter a mask, so that he can hide until She has made her Debut, and all have seen and enjoyed her glory, then it will be his turn to display himself in all his Icy Power. The servants will play, rarely, if ever maybe, here we see the young house maids having thrown down their brushes and dusters dancing a merry jig to the  sound of the footmans tin whistle, all having a grand old time. The butler has arrived to see what is going on, allowing the family cat to make a hasty exit from such undecorous frivolity. Beautiful young Middle Eastern Tribal Dancer wearing the Jewelry and Coins she has earned dancing, partly for decoration, also as a dowry to get herself a good husband. Facial Tattoos and markings vary with Tribe. This depicts the mysterious energy and power generated by a Storm. If  you have felt the stillness and noticed the silence as the dark clouds gather, the Birds stop singing, and the atmospheric pressure changes, its as though nature is holding its breath, awaiting the outpouring of furious passion. The female in this picture is willing this, she is surrounded by the lightening bolts, her creatures, to direct wherever she wants, She, becomes as one with the Storm. Greek Goddess. Legend says she was born from the foam of the sea near the Island of Crete. Here we see her attended by the Undines of water. Inspired by Japenese Gheisha movement and dance. Why are they meeting, a man and a woman on this cold winters day, is this a clandenstine meeting of lovers, is she telling him they can never meet again, or is this a warning of treachery afoot in the castle? He wears a magicians cloak, are they planning some enchantment, what do you think? Music is such a gift, something that has been enjoyed throughout the centuries, endless variations, choose one that makes your heart sing. Music is eternal. The third picture is the Rehearsal, overseen by the Ballet Mistress a Grande Old Dame of the theatre, whom will strive endlessly to achieve perfection within the performance, all will work and work until she feels that they are giving the very best they are able, only then will she dismiss them. The forth picture is the actural Performance in all its grandure, in the forfront we have a Gentleman wearing a Mask, also the magical essence of music who is, as always, striving to assist the performers whenever she can. She is nearly invisable, but all know she is there for them. A lovely Moonlit night, animals love the Full Moon, when they feel her pressence strongly, why then should they not howl or sing to her. One of a pair this picture symbolizes the Elements of Air and Water, with a female figure reaching for the Moon, held aloft by the night sky. A young mermaid finds an abandoned Beach Ball, abandoned and forgotten at the end of  the Season, how exited she is. She had watched the humans having fun all Summer, wondering why they never invited her to join them. But now she has a ball of her own, she sings to her friends 'come and join me'. This picture shows what can happen when you forget to watch out for time, he has a way of catching up with you when you least expect it. A beautiful Moonlit garden, where one can find peace and tranquility, the Snake symbolizes wisdom and healing, to be found here also. The Violin has been transformed into a living entity by the musician who has played his Instrument with such love and compassion for many decades. The musical notation has leapt off of the manuscript and transcended to another etheric level, which is to be expected. The manuscript is endeavoring to follow by folding itself into the origami shapes of birds. Fantacy Female figure depicted whipping up musical notes, which transform into Butterflys and then fly away. The second of a pair. This picture symbolizes the Elements of Earth and Fire, The Sun is held by a Phoenix. A male figure, would like to reach out for the Sun, but has to retreat and shelter from the burning heat within the rich tropical foliage. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
