My “creative art practice” may be be succinctly summed up in the following fantastic metaphorical quote by Kandinsky:
~ “Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key then another to cause vibration of the soul.”

wow, what brilliance. beautiful capture
Yes and thankyou John, it was a subject and colour I couldn’t resist when spotted. At the time I was paying a quick visit to my daughter at her then rented place and this tree happened to be in full bloom in the front yard. Was fortunate for me at the time that I had my camera with me.
