“My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.”

-A Storm of Swords

“Over the petrol skinned rainbow”. Now and again, actually, quite often, I try to achieve something in my humble little pictures that the singer/songwriter Donovan called “an exhulted state”. In his words….”Imagine a scene, a moment of great beauty, a dove grey sky with smokey pink clouds, a dusky purple mountain. Let this scene put you into an exhulted state”. Don’ achieved this originally by drugs and then by meditation. It was a need to feel at one with the world and all it’s creatures.

I am not particularly “spiritual” or “religious” in my thinking, but Donovan’s aim strikes a chord with me and reminds me of what the “Pope of Surrealism” Andre Breton said in the manifestoes of Surrealism “Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.”
