Day #7 On Gratitude…

On my bedside table at the moment are a couple of great books.  both awesome, both challenging and both full of aha’s and tears.   One is  Vula Bevalile – Letters from a Young Doctor by Maithri Goonetilleke and the other, Daring Greatly by Brene Brown.  Maithri’s book is a collection of letters written whilst [...]

Day#5 Heart Vision

Just a short one from me today.  This photo was snapped last week down at the beach.  My little man turned 6 and I gave him this kite.  We had such fun sitting there in quiet watching it flap and flow in the wind.  It was a lovely grounding experience and I was mesmerized by [...]

Day #4 Beautiful…

Day #3 Artist Crush #1

If only I could paint and print like this man – the one and only Charlie Harper.  I am always wowed by his choices of colour, they are perfect marriages!  And the complex simplicity – words cannot describe!

Marriage Encounter of the Blog Kind… Day #1

Image by Corbis Today I read a blog post from artist Flora Bowley that left me nodding my head in agreement at the screen and muttering comments such as ‘oh yes’ ‘absolutely’ and ‘oh my Gosh, me tooooooo’ like the computer was going to agree back with me. In that post Flora talks about how [...]

Earth and Water

Although I haven’t painted a lot of landscapes, the ones I have done I’m really proud of.  They come from my experiences of living up north in the Kimberley and Northern Territory regions of Australia.  It’s a land of striking contrast – summer rain, winter dry, huge expanses of land as far as the eye [...]

From the Archives…

I was going through some of my older paintings today looking for specific images when I came across these, and I thought I’d share. Back in the day – when I was painting ‘my girls’ I completed one which I quite liked, but there was just something about her that didn’t sit right with me, [...]
