This is from a picture, of what appeared to be a biblical scene (sun-beams and dust), I saw on the mirror in the bedroom whilst lying in bed one Sunday morning. It was somewhat like watching clouds - but the picture didn't change. However, I was reluctant to move, lest I lost it.
But, after a couple of hours, I decided to fetch pencil and paper and made a rough sketch. The result was this picture - the glass depicting the mirror.
I used the same subject matter for 'Madonna in the looking glass' a Christmas Story and for a stone lithograph.

This depicts my traumatic voyage from St. Helena to Capetown.
Capricorn, that's me, with the worm I vomited whilst seasick for six days, the fish that ate the worm - so it was the worm that died and not me - and 'the albatross' the bird that ate the fish that swallowed the worm and followed the ship to guide us safely to our destination.
