Take one long poem and some disturbing current events...

...and mix well. I have been reading Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and already have an interest in current affairs in the Middle East. So, images of dark towers, skeletal fingers casting gold lucre, and oil in the burning sky, but also tiny plants flowering amid the chaos, combine to form my latest oil painting Childe Harold in Gaza. Hope you like it. I don't discuss politics on this blog, but if you're interested in views similar to mine, PSC is a good place to start.
