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!

Irises

You are not quite in control of nature; you are part of nature. It doesn't mean that you are helpless, either. It means that the whole question in art is to be wide awake, to be as attentive as possible, for the artist and for the person who looks at it or listens to it.
- Fairfield Porter

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

    Hi Crista, and thanks. I really am fine, even though Mai seems to have disappeared for ever. My heart aches, but que sera sera and all is well in the Universe. Regards
