Aenigmata

Enigma of Autumn. • "Old Holland" oil paint on a medium smallish canvas. A sweet sadness invests the image. Garnet light filters through the bare trees from a fading, setting sun illumining a veiled figure that is crossing the stream of life under a waning moon. Autumn colours predominate.
Enigma of the Foolish Ascent. • Oils on stretched canvs, about 16"x20". An inadequately garbed though handsomely booted figure in scarlet climbs a broken ladder to nowhere while a luminous sea rolls in to disturb the symbol for the body and the symbol for the soul under the deceptive light of a gibbous waning moon.
Enigma of Sidereal Time • Old Holland oils on canvas about 24x36. The moon is full, silhouetting the veiled figure of decorum which regards the nude who is yielding to the lunar energy, as we all must whether we realize it or not. The clock records the passing hours, minutes and seconds. painted at approximately 49ºnorth by 5ºwest in the early Two-Thousands.

Harbinger of the Enigma. • Full title: "Enigma of the Harbinger of the Flood". • Roberson's oils on recycled panel, about six feet by four. Painted in London in the nineteen-eighties when distant alarm bells were already ringing for those with their ears to the planet. The monitory veiled figure gestures enigmatically and appears to be leaking crude oil. The iconic car is the Cord 810 from 1937 designed by Gordon Buehrig.
The-Enigma-of-cold-water-swimming Michael Harding oil paint on stretched canvas. employing coudrille's oft-used symbols for the body and, the soul. A peaceful scene but, note the warship on the horizon.
