You didn’t call it that! Yes I did and numbered them.

When life is crazy staying still can be amazing

If you put it out there, sometimes…..

Is calling my current exhibition Covid19 OK?

I call it ‘going down the rabbit hole’

All I wanted was to tidy a few things up

I stand still
Breath in the air
Gaze around the area
Where there is rainforest
On the valley floor
At the edge of the escarpment
And smell
The damp earth after the rain
See
The myriad browns of the mulch underfoot
The bright green of the mosses and ferns
Feel the drops of water as they fall
From the glistening wet leaves
And love the staccato vertical forest of tree trunks
Standing proudly all around me
Where
Up to the canopy
The filtered light
Reveals the innumerable greens
That delight me

It’s been raining, raining, raining Heavy rain T

It’s been raining, raining, raining
Heavy rain
Then light misty rain
The sort of rain that can soak you to the bone
Today, it didn’t rain
It looked like rain
So I got out in the van
And travelled along the Mt Hay Road
Into the National Park
And found a fire trail
That’s now blocked to vehicles
And as I followed the trail up and I rounded the bend
The dip in the road that previously would be churned mud
Was now a pond
With the joyous sound of life - so take a look with the sound on

Presenting #studiocat Leo And 2020 It seemed a yea

Presenting
#studiocat Leo
And
2020
It seemed a year that implored us to take opportunity where we could and reframe our situation so we were able to deal with the changes the year gave us.
2021
Will be
What it will be
After the year we’ve had
The best thing to say:
Be kind
Gentle and generous
To yourself
And to others
Live for possibilities
And the joy you find in the moment
And to remember
It’s what you do
With what you’ve got
That gives you the joys of life

Driveway Tyre marks Tracks That mark the routines

Driveway
Tyre marks
Tracks
That mark the routines followed
When each morning
Our paper is delivered
An indulgence for sure!
And is dropped at the studio door
At the top of the driveway
Which, I think, is such a generous gesture
When there are so many other options available
Where it could be dropped
And it is not taken
I silently give thanks to the bloke
Delivering my daily dose of @smh news
To my home so early in the morning in #wentworthfalls

Little Big Works exhibition
Now on at @theartvault Mildura
Is the outcome
Of my response to Covid19
And the delight of isolation

I realised just before I painted this work that I needed another painting so when I packed paintings for the #exhibition I had the right number to pack them face to face and back to back. I had enough paintings for the exhibition. It would be an extra. So I put a canvas on the #studiowall and with the exhilaration of completion I exuberantly got into the process. Then I stopped and realised I’d come to a point where it was finished or was it? If I continued I would lose it. I took a walk in the garden. I pondered the situation and then I rang through to @theartvault and spoke to Mia. Think it’s finished. Not sure about it. It feels raw and expressive. What’s your opinion? Sent an image to her. Got a message back - love it! So I walked away. And I am very happy with it, a fitting final #artwork for the exhibition
Here is Covid19 Series #painting #21 the last painting painted for the exhibition Little Big Work on at @theartvault in #mildura until December 7!! And thank you @igotgorgeous you are on the money as always 😜👌
