About me

This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realise it is play. The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That’s all there ever is. I’m here to tell you that the path to peace is right there, when you want to get away. When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it. If you miss the present moment, you miss your appointment with life. That is very serious!

Gloomy picture?

"When it is gloomy outside, I find the sunshine within me. I smile and show others my sunshine. In return, others smile and show me theirs."

A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!

"Farm Cottage" watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm watercolour paper - Maree©

I did this painting yesterday, taking my inspiration from the weather outside - dark, gloomy, and only 13ºC outside! with intermittent rain - quite unusual for Gauteng to have rain in Winter, we're a summer rain-fall area - could the seasons be changing?

    Thank you Nature! Must be the sunshine within shining through! Must say I was wrapped up with a warm throw and a nice cup of tea...

    Regards
