Beautiful work! For some reason it reminded me of the gospel story of maidens keeping their lanterns lit for the surprise arrival of the bridegroom.

Odd you should mention that, as I thought of the story too - but after the fact

Seven virgins to begin with...
It's like an arctic version of Masada.

It's the single funniest comment I've ever left.

And had it been a less hectic week I would have appreciated it before now

I found the entire Mr. Bean series on DVD for half price at Barnes & Noble-- I haven't laughed this hard in months...

At some point I'm going to splurge and get the Blackadders
Have you seen that 2004 version of Salem's Lot? I made the great mistake of watching it the other night....
There's three hours I'll not be getting back...

I watched The French Connection on dvd the other night and just loved, loved, loved it...

I honestly don't want to know if King was involved with that script. If he was, it may be time to substitute Velcro for shoestrings.
I've not seen The French Connection in ages...

King had full reign over the made for tv version of The Shining, which sucked quite a bit more than Kubrick's version-- might be the best book he'll ever write, but it's just never going to be properly transmitted to screen...
I'm reading an excellent police memoir called Blue Blood, and its author, Edward Conlon, mentioned that the French Connection is the one movie that gets the most details right about what the job is really like-- again, Barnes & Noble with the half price-- I couldn't resist, and I'm so glad that I didn't...

That's pretty sad.
I know the books weren't created with film in mind... but if you have to twist them to that extent, what's the point? Absolutely the worst role Donald Sutherland ever had (Straker). Every character was so unlikeable; it was a relief when they were killed off...
I can remember when Kojak was considered gritty and cutting-edge

Funny you'd mention that-- in this same book, Conlon talks about his dealings with the real Sonny Grosso, whom Roy Scheider plays in The French Connection (and plays AGAIN in The Seven Ups-- I need to see that movie), and among other things, Grosso took on a job as a consultant to the Kojak series-- I need to rent the Kojak series!
Have you read Salem's Lot? I loved that book, man!

Oh yes, and I occasionally listen to the audio version. Got the book on my 20th birthday - along with the Focus lp Mother Focus. I guess they'll always be connected in my head.
Did you ever see any of Robert Blake's Hell Town series? He makes a great priest

I only got to see a couple of those-- I remember Blake on Johnny Carson, promoting the show, which came on after Michael Landon's new series-- "Take the Highway To Heaven straight to Hell Town," Blake said in closing; Carson laughed his ass off...
Have you read any Peter Straub? Straub's If You Could See Me Now singlehandedly pitched me into bibliomania-- "Stephen King, author of The Shining" had a blurb on the back of the book, and that's how I discovered King-- I just got the latest Straub yesterday in the mail from Amazon...
The new R.E.M.'s as good as its hype, Danny-- you wanna hear?
π: 0 β©: 1
Straub?... ages ago. 70s probably. For the past decade I've been stuck on dead authors...
I would, surely. The last one I really listened to was Green

the rock looks like a giant black iguana's head with its eye burning fiery
the wide endless snowy(foamy...?) spaces around are just superb too!

Grat work, have you read Le Moyen-Γge fantastique by Jurgis Baltrusaitis?

Thank you
I'm sorry to say I haven't read it. My French is more than a little rusty

No problem; i don't know french either but that's just the original name and i have no clue how they named it in english (i read it in spanish); anyway, there's a chapter where the symbolism of rocks and mountains with human features is analyzed both in far eastern painting and the work of flemish artists, like Dieric Bouts and Hyeronimus Bosch, there's a particular detail in Bout's Hell where a man falls into some kind of rocky abyss; i think there might be some similarity (because of the subject and mysterious meaning) between that image -along with other included in that book- and these beautiful painting of yours.
Maybe you're unconsciously perpetuating an ancient tradition.

Sounds like a very interesting read. I'll see if i can find a decent version in English...

Interesting indeed, unfortunately it's the second part of another book which was actually published later with less success and that i havenΒ΄t found translated(Reveils et Prodiges Le Gothique Fantastique).

If i say " so real" or " so cold" I know you will 
Can i say " Can you paint a kite in the tree for me?"
