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!

Laughing Dove

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
- Pablo Picasso
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!


"Laughing Dove" pencil sketch with watercolour in Moleskine watercolour sketch-book- Maree

This is Flutterby, a Laughing Dove I was blessed enough to have in my life for 6 months, kind enough to roost contentedly on a rock in my garden while I sketched her.

    Hi Kelly, thanks for the compliments. Yea, that's what it's all about - inspiration! Red and the Peanut is very inspirational and I'd love to sketch some of those Ibises!
