Moroccan Sunset Celebration

Have you been to Morocco? Have you? Have you? I have been asked this many times regarding this land of paradise and rich heritage. I wanted to understand this landscape of dreams and be transported to it's world of enchantment.

Recently, the government of Morocco has suggested autonomous status for the region, through the Moroccan Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS). The project was presented to the United Nations Security Council in mid-April 2007. The proposal was encouraged by Moroccan allies such as the USA and France, but did not gain Security Council approval, and Minurso remains formally committed to the organisation of a referendum.

This is my response and encourages a call to all parties to enter into direct and unconditional negotiations to reach a mutually accepted political solution. Mixed media on canvas.

The Broken Horses

Who will mend the broken horses? They huddle together, in storm fields of lost moments. This one has also been around for 5 years or so, but mostly in my mind. I recently revisited him with renewed energy, ending a self-imposed cycle of internal struggle and a lack of focus that has clung to my back for a whole lifetime. Then one bright spring morning, two years ago, I passed the field of broken horses and their sad but magical presence shattered my complacency and filled my body with bright, searing hope.
