Painting Meditations

Very interesting public radio excerpts on the brain and the afterlife. I have been listening to this series as i paint a portrait of my Grandfather, the late John T Godfrey. My favourite is "Ineffable" a fictional hypothesis by Dr David Eagleman.


What’s the Difference Anyway?

5. 4 Seconds Down: Soren Wheeler tells the story of Ken Baldwin, a man who is looking for death but finds a new view on life. 6. Am I Dead?: Neurological psychologist Paul Broks introduces us to a patient who thinks she's dead. 7. If I Only Had A Brain: If you don’t have one anymore, David Eagleman tells Jad and Robert he knows the next best thing. 8. Ineffable: A story on the afterlife by David Eagleman from his book SUM, read by actor Jeffrey Tambor.


But Am I Really Dead?

9. Booyah Mozart: Producer Lulu Miller brings us a conversation with geologist Jan Zalasiewicz about what we’ll leave behind … in a hundred million years. 10. Cyberternity: Producer Emily Voigt tells a story about a guy named Wyatt, fixed in time. 11. Goodbye: Paleontologist and professor Peter Ward describes the ultimate death, the death of the universe ... THE END.

Girls and Ponies Women and Steeds

A woman on a horse is a romantic image. I'm not sure why i am drawn to it at the moment but it must be something to do with the horse as a mystic creature...maybe it represents girlish fantasies, wind blowing through the hair, strength, sex...Girl and Pony Woman and Steed
