I love epic music! For me it is a perfect combination of the classic orchestral scoring, chorales and electronica music that I have enjoyed for decades. This stuff inspires me, and is a great companion as I write away on an exiting piece of fiction. Therefore, on Mondays I share a new piece by various... Continue Reading →
Photo Finish Friday: ‘Eclipse on Rocky Top Mountain’, by Matt MacPherson
Click the picture below for full-size. On Photo Finish Fridays, I feature a selected piece of landscape photography that I have come across.

Throwback Thursday: The Lady of Shalott, by John William Waterhouse (1888)
Inspired by the poem of the same name by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892): The Lady of Shalott PART I ON either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by To many-tower'd Camelot; And up and down...

Throwback Thursday: The Magic Circle, by John William Waterhouse (1886)
I’ve loved this painting by John William Waterhouse for a long time. The many layers of detail and symbolism, not uncommon in Waterhouse’s work, leave so much to consider and see. The Magic Circle is so open that it can leave you with one idea of what is happening in a viewing, and inspire a... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: August 30th, 2017
