This is an image inspired by a little girl that attended an art work shop that I ran within an exhibition in Melbourne. A shy retiring girl, I’ve met her a few times, this year in April she stayed with me and some other children to paint. After a slow start she knew exactly what she wanted to do and proceeded to churn out some of the most amazing abstract work, she would stop to mix new palette’s and each work was vastly different from the previous one. It was like they were all in her head, in sequence just wanting to get out. She did not mingle, but was very content working away. I hope to see her again one day. This is for Lucia.

My Website Featured in Live, Love, Dream June 09 Ghosts of Silence When days begin to breathe shorter / and the unbending frost creeps through the woods / When primitive strength seems to be perfect / then you can hear the silence We are all surrounded by them / They are day and night, life and death / They are the sovereigns of our presence / Awake, awake with new power When the songs of birds are fading away / And the previously pleasures of mankind / Oh when all these are lying down to rest / Then the silence begins to live All whispers in the wind / from the ghosts of silence / Into the pristine woods they lure / frightened is the mind but clear Don`t deny their existence / because staying silent let they upraise / The ghosts of silence / Arise, arise into this world Abyssaria
My Website Bless the Broken Road I set out on a narrow way, many years ago / Hoping I would find true love along the broken road / But I got lost a time or two / Wiped my brow and kept pushing through / I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you Every long lost dream led me to where you are / Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars / Pointing me on my way into your loving arms / This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road / That led me straight to you / Yes He did I think about the years I spent, just passing through / I’d like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you / But you just smile and take my hand / You’ve been there, you understand / It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true Every long lost dream led me to where you are / Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars / Pointing me on my way into your loving arms / This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road / That led me straight to you But now I’m just rolling home into my lover’s arms / This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road / That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road / That led me straight to you Rascall Flats

This was taken in Santiago, Chile, at the same place Walk Alone was captured. The building is in Santa Lucia Park, in the heart of Santiago city. It is built on a hill, with steep pathways and stairs leading up to a 360 degree incredible viewpoint of the Andes Mountains which surround Santiago. This is my first attempt at playing with textures. The original photo below, is one I have always wanted to use, never did due to the lens flare at the top of the shot. Added a few layers of texture and faded out most of the colour. I first thought of the Hanging Gardens Of Babylon when I finished this one.
