Profile
Art is my way of expressing how I see the world. It is a creative channel that I am most grateful for.
I don’t stick to one medium, although I mainly paint in Acrylic…my motto is “Any means to an end”...whatever works…whatever mood I’m in…
Beginning an artwork is trusting that you will finish it just the way it was intended by any means (medium) and in any way (style).
Art is something you can’t take your eyes off…it is a reflection of the magnificence of life through the eyes and interpretation of one soul.
Art is what gets me up in the morning and makes me feel complete in the evening.
If that all seems a bit heavy, then lets put it this way – ‘I just like to paint!’

The Baboon and The Butter - Part Two
More baboons had slipped inside my house as I was persuing my perpetrators. This time I grabbed the garden hose, turned it on and ran into my front door ‘guns blazing’.
The Baboon and The Butter - Part One
I had a connection with that tub of butter and was willing to risk my life (or perhaps not so dramatically, loss of limb or fingernail) to get it back from the thieving hands of this rude mammal.
It Is What It Is...
Accepting what is. If you can truly live like this it will make your life a lot more peaceful.
Now, please....
Stillness is the art of mastering your life. / Being present is simplicity itself. / Preside in awareness when you are alone or in company. / You are now, the master of your life.
Turning a Negative into a Positive
We all know about positive thinking and the Law of Attraction but do we really put it into practice?
The Law of Attraction or The Universal Preference System (UPS)
Doubt rhymes with drought. / Drought will kill any aspiring desire. / So keep your mind well watered with faith and the seeds of change and growth will continue to manifest in your life.
