This painting was

inspired by a poem :

HOPE

High atop a mountain
she sits in gentle conversation with the wind

A child of the earth
she glows with love
and grows like the flowers
more beautiful each day

She wispers to the wind
for at the point in the sky
where the moon begins to mingle
with the clouds
the evenings first star is visible

the wind softly replies...

Pitcairn Island

2011-03-09T22:49:00.000-08:00

This painting was inspired by the movie *Mutiny on the Bounty*.
The film was one of the biggest hits of its time. Although its historical accuracy has been questioned (inevitable as it is based on a novel about the facts, not the facts themselves), film critics consider this adaptation to be the best cinematic work inspired by the mutiny.
The HMS Bounty was burned on a small bay( you can see it in the painting) to avoid being detected

by other ships.
There are several versions of this film since the original back 1935.
Many books had been written on this most famous mutiny ever.

Pitcairn is the least populous and most remote jurisdiction in the world,a little group of islands in the south Pacific Ocean.
Today’s Pitcairn Island population is descended from British sailors and Tahitians. The mutineers of the HMS Bounty settled the island [first discovered by world explorers on 2 July 1767 by midshipman Pitcairn aboard the HMS Swallow] in 1790, along with their Tahitian women and a few Tahitian men. Fletcher Christian and his band of mutineers seized the Bounty from Captain William Bligh on 28 April 1789 following a voyage filled with disrespect and frequent, sometimes severe, punishments from Bligh toward his crew.

SHIMMERING DREAM

CRYSTAL LUCID LOVER
YOU TOUCH
EMBRACE ME IN MY DREAMS

THOUGH AWAKE
I CANNOT HOLD YOU
ANYMORE THAN I COULD HOLD THE FLOWING WATER OF A STREAM

I'M LOST WHEN YOU ARE NEAR
AS MY WORDS
MY ACTIONS DO BETRAY
HOW ELOQUENCE ESCAPES ME
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY

STILL I WANT YOU LIKE NO OTHER
ELUSIVE VISION
SHIMMERING LIGHT
AND BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT HAVE ME
I'M RESIGNED TO HOPE TO HAVE YOU IN THE NIGHT

Shadows of Prague

2010-12-05T10:35:00.000-08:00

Original painting
on canvas
24" X 36"

December 5th marks the 219 anniversary

of Mozart's death
(1791)

This painting was inspired by Mozart's life in Prague,1787.
He used to rent the rooms on the building on the right side of the street.On the left side of the street,Mozart's Opera libretist and friend was also living there at the time, they used to comunicate with each other thru the balcony, and windows of these buildings. I imagined all this going on when I was working on this painting.
If you are lucky enough to go to Prague, this street is still there, and the buildings as well,of course painted in diferent colours.

Mozart's music is being performed,recorded, and listened to at this time than ever before...

the explanation must be simple:

An universal response to beauty
To me, Mozart represents the pinnacle of human creative achievement.

PARIS NOIR

down boulevards and avenues

the back streets of desire

in this city of intrigue and passion

discretion is still the elegant fashion

here the chamber walls would never tell

and if they did, they'd lie

because behind closed doors beneath the covers

secrets stay unblemished between true lovers

WITHIN REACH

to touch
to feel
to embrace

faith in fate
in love and reason
imploring life
for hope and peace

to seek
to learn
to know
to teach

all we imagine
is within reach

I have arranged a *Bouquet*of a few
of my *Dreams* for your pleasure...

SALESMAN OF FANTASY

we all want to be wanted
love to be loved
need to be needed
dream of being dreamed of

while hopes and starry eyes
flicker gently in the night
do you wait and pray for someone
to come and change your life
well I provide a service
let's just say I make things right
sample my wares because I can offer
anything you'd like

I'm the salesman of fantasy
out selling dreams
could you use
something new
to believe in

I'm a beacon of light
a port in a storm
a calm in the sea of emotion

I'll make you forever rich
or forever young
there's never a problem dreams can't overcome

I can give to you beauty
extract truth from a lie
let me help keep the tears from your eyes

if you give me a call
I can come right away
and there's never a charge
unless you want to pay
I've no shortage of clients
I work night and day
in a world that seems destined to say

      we all want to be wanted
      love to be loved
      need to be needed
      dream of being dreamed of

I'm the salesman of fantasy
out selling dreams
could you use
something new
to believe in

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL MY LIFE

I looked in life's mirror

and what did I see

someone unfamiliar

staring back at me

now I know what I'm like

and I'm like what I saw

but where have I been all my life

tell me please

scattered memories

offer hints of the past

a whirlwind existence

that blew by too fast

stripping the leaves from my trees

so tell me please

where have I been all my life

The Canvas

if I could write sweet words that rhyme

I'd write a poem for you

if I could sketch a colored thought

by blending pastel views

I'd let the colors flow

forevermore

on the canvas of your heart

and if I was a poet still

I'd try to find the words

that might describe my mood

blend pastel views

with the reaches of the mind

and let the colors flow

forevermore

on the canvas of your heart

                                                Are where thy dark eye glances
                                                And where thy footstep gleams
                                                In what ethereal dances
                                                By what eternal streams..

TONE POEM

To be captured alone
with you
is a tone poem

Your harmony drifts
like a mist
through the air

And your melody lingers long after you're gone
like a symphony
keeps me aware

So to discover your love
is to be trapped in a prison
with bars that contain me
like those of a song

And when a strong will like mine
succumbs to weak indecision
and meek inhibitions
the tone poem plays on

by Lance Bunda

Metamorphic Angel

24" X 30" acrylic on canvas..

while inspiration feeds invention
frustration breeds contempt
therefore a spirit needs a noble cause
for this earthlife to be prudently spent

and so it goes
we are resigned to this
yet are offered wings to rise above
those who falter and those who fail
perhaps to rescue souls and protect them from danger
to emerge
as metamorphic angels

onward I go

through human interaction

exploration fuels my ride

discovery my inspiration

thoughts become goals

become plans

become me

what could be

what will be

life is expectation

bound by apprehension

seeking destination

hoping for redemption

inward I go

in search of satisfaction

imagination is my guide

desire my motivation

thoughts feed ideas

feed dreams

feed me

could I be

will I be
