Poetry and artwork - Henry Denander

Watercolor sketch of Miles Davis, from his electric period. It may be Keith Jarrett at the keyboards in the background.

A watercolor painting of my beloved Hydra houses, cut and pasted on newspaper clippings.

Another watercolor painting with some collage elements, with thanks to Giulio Cesare Matusali for the inspiration.

"Mr. Blue found a strange looking letter in his post office box. No sender, but with a neat handwritten address. The postmark said The Asemic Islands and when he opened the envelope he found a letter from his friend Edvard Pomander."

A watercolor portrait of a young Guy Clark, singer and composer extraordinaire. Portrait commissioned by Åke "Ache" Rosén.
RIP Guy Clark.

I'm back on Hydra for a couple of weeks, reaching out for
the warm Greek sun.
Made this collage/painting and called it "Dog Days in November".

A new collage "Melina".

Image from an old Greek magazine, with photos of
Melina Mercouri on Hydra in 1962 when she was
shooting the film Phaedra here.

Our favorite taverna on Hydra since 30 years, Krifo Limani. Look forward to eat there next month.
This is my watercolor painting. Click to enlarge.

"Glenn Gould never came to Nice" is my short story published by Pig Ear Press. Those of you who remember my book "The Poetry of Mr. Blue" will be able to read about Mr. Blue again. 

A very nice book production from Pete Lally's press, handsewn and with letterpressed covers.

Follow this link to Pig Ear Press and pick-up a copy, it doesn't cost much but you are supporting the small press - and this small press on Malta will publish my next poetry collection as well! 

  

My painting of Gerry Locklin that was used on the cover of the book "Gerald Locklin, a critical introduction", edited by Michael Basinski. I like that Gerry is using the style of Bill Evans when playing his keyboard.
