So, my message is that whatever you’re feeling, it’s ok. The situation we find ourselves in at the moment is far from normal and so if you feel that you’ve lost your sense of balance, that’s perfectly natural. But there are things you can do to support yourself, you don’t have to do it alone,…

In this painting you can see the pain. It is in the lines, it is in the intensity of the colors, it is in the way the colored areas run away from each other, concentrating in themselves, as if the whole picture is falling apart. And you also see some environment: A horizon with two…

So you still have those monsters… she says.But I meant this to be a flower. It has some strange dark side to it. It’s true. It gives you a bad look. And this, I meant it to be a branch, a tree, and a piece of the sky is caught up in it.And this is…

Are you feeling stressed right now? Worried about Covid-19, worrying about family members and friends that are key workers? Worrying for your elderly parents and relatives? Yes, me too. There has already been loss within my circles. I am sad for friends who are struggling, I miss seeing my mum, I miss seeing my friends…

I moved from having the pain relieved somewhat but starting to have heart problems, unpleasant changes in the digestive system,…

Having taken some time out (see Part 1) I now feel more grounded and centred again. This means that I feel I have a more solid base from which to create and to Be, both for myself and for my practice. I have used this creativity to make some new posts – and even videos,…

My mood improved this morning when I gave a name to the painting of yesterday. The name is Encumbered Flow (I wrote this a week ago). I had a not-so-good feeling about this painting and I thought about different ways to change it by adding more things. I didn’t. Maybe I could change the contrast…

Balance can be such a fragile thing, can’t it? Even when we think we’re pretty solid and stable, it can take a fairly ‘small’ thing to unsettle us, knock our confidence and sense of security, and leave us questioning where we are, what we’re doing and where we’re going. On the morning of 20 November…

I painted it mostly with my face very close to the paper. This is how I love to make art. From close up I feel that I am in the space of the painting. This is where I’d like to always be. Every area of color is like a place, a version of mood that…

The house was at the end When you started to climb you needed to be very daring You didn’t know that if you fell you’d float And then you saw that every adventure came from a belief that you had The big view the open view the view of eternity was the only view that…
