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!

Fifty shades of brown

W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm. Using various shades of brown mixed from a variety of colours on my palette. 

It is very satisfying placing colour randomly and watching something emerge. Whether it makes sense or not is irrelevant--it's the journey that counts. Sometimes just a few strokes are required, and sometimes intense fiddling is necessary and unstoppable. Whichever route you take, enjoy the journey, enjoy the fulfilment and never, ever stress over the outcome. Whichever way it goes, you're in control, it's your choice -- whether it is ever seen or discarded.
