/ “Escape” is part of the Journal, Abstract Symbolism, and Graffiti and Altered Images Collection…how often do we feel trapped within our own skins…find it impossible to “peel away the layers” to get to the heart of things..we are with ourselves alone…escape is not an option... Watercolour, Masa Lace paper, Onion skins and Pigment Inks, on an Altered Journal page… Escape is such a thankful Word / I often in the Night / Consider it unto myself / No spectacle in sight Escape…it is the Basket / In which the Heart is caught / When down some awful Battlement / The rest of Life is dropped ‘Tis not to sight the savior / It is to be the saved.. / And that is why I lay my head / Upon this trusty word ..Emily Dickenson NEIL says it another way…listen… “I am,” I said / To no one there / An no one heard at all / Not even the chair / “I am,” I cried / “I am,” said I / And I am lost, and I can’t even say why / Leavin’ me lonely still /

I was watching the movie “The Ultimate Gift” listening to the character played by James Garner talking to his grandson when he said… ‘Learning is a gift… even if pain is your teacher”. As soon as the words had finished coming out of his mouth I honestly said out loud – YES!! Immediately I was blown away by the quote and I wrote it down and thought about its meaning for weeks. I’ve never felt so affected by a sentence before. Upon reflecting this quote I found quite confronting to realise that I spent my twenties doing everything to avoid and “run away” from my emotional pain.. Now in my 30s I’ve realised that pain was essential for me to be a more caring, less-judgemental and forgiving person. Pain seems to show us the truth in others… the truth that all people, no matter what’s on the outside… have a heart capable of breaking on the inside. It gives me great comfort that I can now view the grief of my brothers death as somewhat of a gift to me – rather than nothing but a loss FEATURED IN Prize Challenges GROUP / FEATURED IN Creative Inspirations / FEATURED IN YOU’RE ACCEPTED GROUP / FEATURED IN FIRST THINGS GROUP / FEATURED IN TYPOGRAPHY GROUP / FEATURED IN THE ART OF PAIN GROUP t-shirt available .
/ “Hibiscus Morning” is part of the Tropics Collection...mornings on the island, the Hibiscus opens early…breakfast on the terrace with the warmth of the sun, feels so luxurious with all the blossoms cascading down, in their multitudinous shades of brilliant colour ... Watercolour on Arches Hot Pressed Paper… Sequestered in their wiry pods, / the hibiscus opened last night after a long silence. / While we mimicked stones in our shared bed, / the big lusty blooms burst into being, / half-human and full as the moon. We practice avoidance this morning; / a marriage of papery faces nods in the sun / ox-blood, pearl and the pink-throated one, / their enviable tongues already discovered by the bees. J. Wallace /
/ “Segmented is part of the Portfolio Collection...a metaphor for the stages of life…Acrylic on Canvas… Dreams broken to pieces on sharp jagged rocks of life / Thoughts sometimes restored, sometimes gone missing, life / Friends now close, swept away on a tidal wave of life / Hope crushed by words, restored by a smile, renewed life / Family for some there, for others gone, a lonely life / Faith missing in action, now found, renewed hope, life / Dreams, thoughts, friends, hope, family, faith / Pieces of life, pieces of you, pieces of me, life in pieces. L. E. Truitt / / / / / / /
/ “The Two” is part of the Winter collection..Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed Paper.. And it all comes crashing down, / as the leaves fall. / when the barricade sets in, / and when the blinds close themselves, / that’s when the colors shift, / and feelings drift, / to a place we don’t know. / to a dream we no longer recognize, / as it screams for second and third tries. Turn around. / you won’t see me. / won’t hear me. / won’t touch me or feel me. / but I’m still there, / reaching out to you. / Is it all in vain? xXjadedjunaXx /

Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed Paper.. / Home Page Feature Natures Wonders, Everything Winter features, plus five more…... They stand as sentinels against azure storms / Assured as most storms of life, it’s supposed / Although bared of dress, although naked as jays, / Winter’s trees umbrella from worst those / Emptied of warmth.. why stand themselves here? / None rest beneath, cold is this grayness / Determined, enduring Hail’s hiss, they stay / Limbs upturned, beg the sun from her shyness… / These brown-barked sentinels recall blue-green days before / With soft nests of down in lofty leaved reaches / Where bodies under there sparkled in prisms / When leaf-scattered-light danced on now barren benches.. / They stand as sentinels against azure storms ...Barbara Attaway / /

/ “The Two” is part of the Flower Collection...Watercolour on Sennelier Paper… You are the town and we are the clock. / We are the guardians of the gate in the rock / The Two / On your left and on your right / In the day and in the night, / We are watching you. We’re afraid in that case you’ll have a fall. / We’ve been watching you over the garden wall / For hours. / The sky is darkening like a stain / Something is going to fall like rain / And it won’t be flowers. This might happen any day / So be careful what you say / Or do. / Be clean, be tidy, oil the lock, / Trim the garden, wind the clock, / Remember the Two. W.H. Auden

/ I find the patina of age very intriguing and exciting to recreate in paint…I always have cuts of MDF and Masonite primed with gesso waiting in the wings, ready for when inspiration hits me…lately I’ve been preoccupied with doors and things to do with doors….I made this door old…very old…it has withstood the test of time and all kinds of weather and has been painted many times, attesting to a tale of many owners…lately someone dressed it with a shiny new red door knob…why? if it could talk it would tell many stories.... Watercolour with Acrylic on Gessoed Masonite “Too little has been said of the door / It’s one face turned to the night’s downpour / It’s other to the shift and glisten of firelight”...excerpt Charles Tomlinson / Door #6 / Door#5 / Door #4 / Door#3 / Door #2 / Door #1
/ Doubt is the lock, / Faith is the key. / Hate is the lock, / Love is the key. / Body is the lock, / Soul is the key. / Ignorance is the lock, / Light is the key. Sri Chimnoy “The Key is dedicated to Catherine, who told me she loves them“ Acrylic on Masonite….slighty surreal and semi-abstract this time, as a Key can mean so many different things… / The Red Doorknob / Door #6 / Door#5 / Door #4 / Door#3 / Door #2 / Door #1
