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!

The Muse

W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm

Like a disappearing fish 
or a bird in full flight - 
the muse, 
in an element of her own is jealous of freedom.

Playing with colour, no matter what the outcome,  is freedom at its best. We are, well, I am, can be, so taken in by the outcome of a painting, fretting over it, sometimes too scared to put a mark on a pristine white paper, that we lose all perspective and the feeling of the process, the total joy of creating, no matter what the outcome.

Enjoy the process and stop focusing on the end result. Focus on enjoying the process, because that is where 90% of our life is lived.

Namasté.
