Sailing away

The Pleasure Boat

The sun-light falling on her sheet,
It glitters like the drift,
Sparkling, in scorn of summer's heat,
High up some mountain rift.

The winds are fresh-she's driving fast.
Upon the bending tide,
The crinkling sail, and crinkling mast,
Go with her side by side.

A Full Moon Night in Paradise

It was a wonderful full moon night in paradise!

Moon...Moon...Moon...Come to me
Release me...make me free
Absorb me in your luminesence
Sparkling pathway of your fluorosence
Dancing in the sky
Lovers looking at you sigh
Oceans leap and surge
Stars whirl and merge

Surreal Paintings of Vladimir Kush

Vladimir Kush' is a Russian born painter, who is identified with the metaphorical realism movement.

Born in 1965 in Moscow, he learned to draw at home and started attending an art school at the age of 7. He entered the Moscow art institute at 17, and when he went for his mandatory two years of military service at 18 was soon set to painting murals and canvases rather than regular infantry duties.

Bored with the Cézanne-style painting his art school concentrated on, Kush switched to surreal images as a teenager; he experimented with different styles of impressionism after seeing a book of Salvador Dalí's work in the late 1980s but it didn't appeal because shape was lost in the style. Strongly influenced by his father (a scientist), he believes that realistic paintings show the artist's professional skill and draw the viewer in so that they accept the impossible images enough to see the metaphors in them and explore the different layers of meaning.

In 1990 he showed works in Germany together with two other Russian artists; he visited Los Angeles for a show and stayed in the United States.

A Group of Palmtrees in the upper Keys

It looks for me almost like they do a dance together, isn't it? So then,.....let's dance!

Cloud Impressions after the Storm

What a big and impressive cloud between my two palms in the yard!

This is the view to the south down in my street....

and this is the view to the north where more of the thunder clouds were forming - and it was raining very hard pretty soon again...

...and then, finally it was over!

Golden reflections in the water.

Yesterday the rain never stopped in paradise - Thunderstorms were rumbling on and off and it seems it will never end to be gray and wet. But to the evening finally it stopped and at sunset time we had these wonderful cloud formations around the house. Aren't they majestic and impressive? I had to take some pictures!

Night on the Bay

I tried to figure it out what this man is thinking just now when the evening comes slowly to the shores:

It's night on the bay
And lights are shinin'
And the sailboats sway
And that cool ocean breeze.
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, night on the bay.
Sure feels good to me.
