Pencil, Ink, Watercolour on Arches, 300 gsm cold-pressed, watercolour block.
The Ink Spider
I dropped a blue splodge of ink on a sheet of rice-paper.
With luck, the ink ran in lines that complimented a vague vision in my young mind.
I could move the ink-bubble from side to side and a concept was formed in my mind.
When it did a wrong turn and deviated from my vision, I suddenly realized it could be something else and at age 6 it was my best artistic effort yet!
Carefully I dropped another blob of ink from the fountain-pen and soon enough I had a rather wonky looking and slightly cartoonish painting of obvious merit.
It was without doubt a shadowy bird precariously clinging to Cane fronds!
You could see the leaves distinctly, and the bird, although on its back, was obviously a Red Robin.
I waited for my dad to return from work.
Running up waving the drawing I gave it to my father with gre...
About Ray Agius
I am first and foremost a Gemini. My feet are placed precariously in several camps and constantly and easily cross over many boundaries. My working life spanned 3 decades and embraced 3 continents. Some of my time was spent in the British Royal Navy and much of it in the International Automotive Industry. An Engineer and Designer is automatically a keen observer of life and human nature and from that I take much inspiration for my art. I do not call myself just an artist but rather a purveyor, documenter and expositor of life, from which my art bleeds and sometimes gushes forth! My skills and qualifications have been honed over decades, influenced by both current and long dead artists., Some of those with whom I...

Ray, you so understand the heart of this contest because your very aesthetic IS at its heART..You already know the Joy (and pain) of this exercise…YOU have already WON!
Ray Agius replied:
It is rarely the words said or the actions followed that make the impact, but the lingering damage to the soul that feeds off the guilt of the missing words never said but wished they had been.
Ray Agius
Thank you for favoriting "The Ink Spider" Alexandra Vusir.
Laurel Adams
Thank goodness there are two media in this entry, Ray…I couldn’t bear to remove it from a contest calling for SPECIFIC CRITERIA of a comfortable and an uncomfortable medium. I never before thought of tears as a medium…however, your exquisitely tender backstory DEFINITELY makes this entry the winner in my mind before it is even fully launched enough to qualify as a contest yet. Your work is not only technically Masterful is is reflective of genius and heArt. BRAVO, Ray. This MUST stay as an integral part of the contest.
Ray Agius replied:
Most kind dear friend.
Laurel Adams
Ray, this is brilliant...as is your backstory. Afterall, isn’t most of one’s Art another page of ones visual HeArt diary? ...v...best to you LF
Ray Agius replied:
So nice of you Laurel. I might be a little different than most artists. The story behind the paintings is as, sometimes more important than the painting...and there is always a story. :)
Ray Agius
Dear Sandy you have made my day. Thank you.
Sandy McIntire

Thank you Hartmut. So many thing needing saying in such a brief time of life. Thank you for understanding.
Hartmut Jager
Beautiful, perfectly balanced and delicate great watercolor painting - and a very, very touching 'Ink Spider' story. In a way it shows how we all see the world (and art) in different, but equally worthwhile ways.
Sondra Myers
Amazing highly talented diverse artist. I truly enjoyed your entire collection of works Ray
Ray Agius replied:
What a kind compliment Sondra. I thank you from my heart.
