Speaking of which....has anyone read Homer's Odyssey where he writes about Scylla and Charybdis?

This is not a painting but it could be. It's my home town in Italy. Now spelled Scilla, in the Province of Reggio Calabria.

An aerial view (looks like the head of an eagle). The castle is moorish and the rock it sits on is hollow. First settled by pirates. Oh Oh.....I'm giving away my heritage hehe.

These people lived their lives surrounded by Beauty.
What great work is mankind
\
Behold the Majesty of Creation

From this broken hill
all thy praises they shall ring

Beautiful
 

I just finished looking at these gorgeous and uplifting paintings. Thank you so much for sharing them.
This one looks as if it could be done in the castle at the headlands in your hometown in Italy.
Looking at them helps in attempting a journey towards grace.

In the end, I return to Beauty. This is the forest where I walk everyday I can. Thank you all of you. I fought well but now I am weary. Remember I love you. Follow beauty.
Forgive my trespasses. Remember me as one who tried.

Music by Philip Glass, paintings by my eldest son, Soren Dawson.
