Waterfall Contemplation
This is a reproduction of "Waterfall Contemplation" of 2011. This is an intrusion on a very private moment when a young man strips himself of everything artificial and goes to a quiet place surrounded by Nature in which he can contemplate the beauties he has found and reflect upon what these may mean to him, his life and his future.

James IV rex Scottorum
This is a tribute to my fourteen greats grandfather and a reproduction of "James IV, king of Scots" of about 1503 by an anonymous artist. James IV was one of the most successful Stewart kings and, through his marriage to Margaret Tudor of England, led to the union of the English and Scottish monarchies which foreshadowed the creation of the United Kingdom. He died fighting the forces of his brother-in-law Henry VIII on Flodden's Field on September 9, 1513. The original of this painting is in the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.

Waiting for Something
This is a reproduction of "Waiting for Something" of 2011 by Troy Caperton. It is a painting symbolic of the universal yearning of youth for something more than he has ever known. It can appear to a young man that he is naked to what may be coming down the road of life, but he yearns for it. He waits for something.

Beloved of Hadrian
This is a lovely image of the Farnese Antinous which is currently in the National Archeological Museum in Naples. It is called the Antinous Farnese because of its prior location at the entrance of the Carracci Gallery in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. The statue was one of the myriads which were produced after the young man's death and deification in October, 130 CE. He had been the beloved of the emperor for probably six years and the mythos of the young god was that he had laid down his earthly life as a sacrifice to the Olympians to save the life of his lover Hadrian. The emperor in gratitude founded the city of Antinopolis at the site of the death and ordered the inclusion of Antinous into the ranks of the gods.
