Unless I see something
else that needs changing (and I may) Frames
of Reference (formerly
known as Prism, formerly known as My
DNA ) is done. Here it is along with
a close-up of the top left-hand corner where
I've painted a version of the whole
snapshot of my parents which was the basis
for the two central figures.
I
believe this painting is about different
dimensions of space and time and maybe multiple
universes but any and all interpretations
are welcome.

I've been working on it and staring
at it so much that I decided to take time off and
make a slideshow of some of the stages up to now. There comes
a time in every painting, for me anyway, when every part of it is frozen and something radical must be done in order
to get the flow going again. That's where I am at the moment
but I haven't yet taken any radical steps.
Do you see a black rectangle? The slideshow will start playing in a minute or
two. If it doesn't, you can watch it over at my blip.tv page. Unfortunately, the shape of the video screen doesn't
allow for the whole height of the painting to show and the
panning effect distorts it even more. Ach! Next time I won't
use it.
For some reason, the music doesn't play over here but it works on the main Blaugustine and at blip.tv.

I've been working on it, hoping to
finish before my birthday (August 7) but I can't predict
what the painting wants to do. Here you see it in my studio
and how it sort of flows into the surroundings. I think I'm
going to change the title to PRISM . The colours in
this photo do not accurately represent the real thing.
Speaking of birthday: can I have some
requests as to what you, my loyal visitors, would like as
my birthday post? You know, like those radio request programmes.
I will try to comply with your wishes, unless they are awkward
questions like, how old are you?. The answer to that, my
friends, is blowing in the wind.
