I fished out the netting from my oranges this week with the plan of recycling. I thought I’d reuse my net for a lovely textural pattern. But I wasn’t sure what or precisely how. .. Yet. I needed to do a bit of research. Recycle Household Items First I did my recycling. My oranges came […]
Its a very early Sunday morning, and I’m feeling like going for a little holiday as I drink my predawn coffee. A peaceful, relaxing, tranquil place. Cobalt Teal Blue: a perfect holiday colour! I’ll scout my photos… can I find my morning holiday? Esperance glittering waters. An image that soothes, invites and delights. Definitely has […]
Been Too Busy? Me too! So I wandered out to the pool to sit down for 5 minutes to drink my morning coffee in peace. Warning: this post may offend…. if you are a ‘busy’ person! I have no idea why I believe Value is tied up in being “Busy.” Or why others […]
It’s with a touch of mystery, we wander through the viridian and umber tinted glades.

The sun, had been hiding for awhile here in Perth with rain and clouds. And admittedly I do like the clouds now, I still smiled at the welcome warmth after days of grey. I’d just gotten home from work and I wanted a little pick me up. The sun was out, but not for long. […]
Breathtaking, as the last light is fading into darkness a magic fills the sky. A sense of serenity and wonder perfume the air as that last sliver of sun slips below the Indian Ocean. I’m loving that vibrancy of scarlet with the deep velvet black contrasts of the crane shapes swinging gently on the evening […]
Amidst a busy week, I managed a short late afternoon stroll. Right down the block in a nature preserve I discovered this magnificent magenta flower in bloom. Even though its still winter, flowers bloom. I love Australia!!
I was busy with the paints today creating trees. It didn’t start off that way. I began with playing with the paints, warming up. I really wasn’t in the mood to ‘do a painting’ anyway. I just wanted to have a play and relax. Zen. Thats all. I began with mixing colours: lavenders, grey greens, […]
