"Before heaven and earth were born, Solitary and silent, Stands alone and unchanging, Pervading all things without limit. It is like the mother of all things under heaven, But I don't know its name - Better call it TAO, Better call it great." (Lao Tzu)

5 pen and ink drawings for an exhibition in May this year.

Apart from the lower right drawing they are fantasized versions of where I live in Singapore.

Enjoyable and therapeutic to produce. All A3 size. Okay, they are obsessive, but deliberately so. A world of details. (One lady while viewing them said "Are you autistic?" Yes maam! I am today. Tomorrow, who knows).

Wessex Estate Singapore

26 3 storey apartment blocks plus a lot of semi-detached houses.

Built by the British army in the 1950s it is now an oasis of peace and quiet in the intensity of Singapore.

People do their jogging here, go for walks, walk the dog and take a       helluva lot of photographs including wedding photo shots.

Outside my balcony is a jackfruit tree where we have squirrels, golden oriols and other birds I dont recognize AND recently an irritating macaque monkey who the raided my kitchen (little bastard).

3 minutes away we have the Colbar coffee shop. Food and drink and a 50 year old standard on the estate. Tiger beer and Western and Chinese food run by Mr. And Mrs Lim who were serving British National servicemen 50 years ago.

Its beautiful.

For the full range of pictures click on 'Wessex Estate Singapore' on the 'Personal Albums' category on the left hand column.

USA Trip May 2012


Top Picture: Guggenheim Museum in New York (Me and My son Michael)
Bottom picture: Yankee Stadium (with my son, Malcolm)

The Trip: New York, Washington, CharlottesvilleVirginia, Jefferson's Monticello, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah Valley, Luray, Gettysburg battlefield, Hagerstown, Antietam battlefield, Washington, New York back to Singapore via Shanghai (14 hours!) Wonderful.

American food is big and heavy but generous. Katz's Deli New York was typical. But it does get a bit tiresome. Big, big, but ho hum.


To see the album go to 'Personal Albums' section on the left hand column. Then click on 'USA Trip'.
