San Nicola (Saint Nicholas) is the Patron Saint of the City of Bari. I fingerpainted this in brushes app on my ipad. It is not a historic reproduction but rather a loose and personal interpretation based based on Byzantine paintings of the Saint.
It was commissioned by a regional Italian Magazine for their December issue.

The Sorry Bot
Man had created robots for everything. Robots to clean the house, to prepare meals, to work, provide comfort and fight the endless wars that intense cyberindustrialism was causing.
The planet was reduced to a wasteland. Humans were only a fragile intruder into a world that they had created.
The burden of guilt was extreme. It had become necessary to create a class of robots to take responsibility for all this.
They were the Sorry Bots.
And they were despised by all.

The Tower of the tree of life
"the old man told me that this tower is older than anyone can remember. And that the door to the tower is always open for this tower defends all living things and has no enemies except for time itself'.
note:
In Puglia in the south of Italy there are thousands of ancient olive trees, many dating back to the time of Christ. As they get old and gnarled and bent from the wind some times they need to be propped up with blocks, or they break.
The concept of the tree of life needing human intervention in the same way to stay alive makes a curious parallel with our current condition.

The floating of the Elephant
A white elephant is regarded as a sign a monarch reigns with justice and power, and that the kingdom is blessed with peace and prosperity. Because the animals are considered sacred laws protect them from labor, and receiving the gift of a white elephant from a monarch is simultaneously both a blessing and a curse: a blessing because the animal is sacred and a sign of the monarch's favour, and a curse because the animal has to be retained and could not be put to work offsetting it's costs.

The Watchman
Hope is always the last to die.
And it's not always sudden.
For the Watchman it was like one small piece at a time
for a thousand years.

The Duchess
The object of desire of The General.
Fingerpainted with Meritum paint pro for ipad (beta) and brushes app.
The Phoenix
I am enjoying meritum paint pro and happy to be testing the ipad beta.
It uses the more powerful ipad cpu very well.
The General
"The French General guessed rightly that here in the desert, on this bare rock in the sea, the nun had seized upon music as an outpouring of the passion that still consumed her. Was this her manner of offering up her love as a sacrifice to God? Or was it Love exultant in triumph over God? The questions were hard to answer. But one thing at least the General could not mistake--in this heart, dead to the world, the fire of passion burned as fiercely as in his own".
Balzac.

Johnson's still
When he went over to Johnson's still burning was on his mind.
Burning for his brother Jeb, burning it for Ma'.
More than anything burning it because he needed a drink.
