I think these images belong under the general heading of motivation, or inspiration.
They are in fact in response to a private joke between Tom and me and unashamedly pander to our appreciation of "the finer things in life" :)



notice the Imperial Japanese purple too :)



and this is what I want for Christmas ( if my wife won't let me have my first choice B) ; see above :) )

Sake tokkuri by National Living Treasure, Harada Shuroku. The cup is an antique Chinese piece.


Shake it Ladies, and Kampai! :D

:) Ha! I'm feeling more motivated already! There's some metal in the studio with my name on it - or, actually, it doesn't yet have my name on it. Must go correct that! :)

Cheers, Ford!

well, you could try appreciating the rustic pottery :)

and I really don't think I'm qualified, despite outragous rumours :) suggesting otherwise, to discern what exactly interests the other half of the worlds population. B)

I might not know a lot about that but I do know what I like, to borrow a phrase :)

Ok, just so I can't be accused of being a chauvinist here's a little something that might be of more interest to the ladies who grace our forum.


there, all fair now. Did I do good? :)

Hi there,

music was always inspiring me : the first is for one half of the population

wild thing



peaches

the other for the other half

hope music that helps in that context too :)

Abrigado, Remo

that man has magical hands that make strings sing. Wonderful!, even though I could not understand his words I could still feel his pure and honest expression.

and Karl, yes, have a cold shower......I'm sure we all could use one too ;) , not sure that praying will be enough though. :P

Namaste, Ford

p.s. Remo, I've just been listening to that piece of music again this morning. I really enjoyed the instrumental piece that plays first. Can't find this on-line to buy though, perhaps I should visit you in Brazil. :D ...sometime :D

Hi Remo,

the cold shower helped a lot a little prayer too. :D

I found this while looking in a book on the sculptor Bernini. This is the head of St. Teresa in the Cornaro Chapel in Rome. The whole sculpure is called "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa". It is perhaps the climax of her prayer.



For the netsuke and inro guys here I found the following pic.



It is Edo period work.
Sorry for bad quality of the pics. ;)

In every culture even in Europe while the Baroque there was a deep adorment of the Eros - some finer things in life. :P

Here is a piece I did a few years ago that deals with creation and motivation. This is lost wax cast stainless steel and cherry.

My wife torments me with this song at any opportunity. She even requested it at a wedding dance once, just so she could make me dance to it. Much better to watch with the sound off.
