Fly!


Fly
Acrylic on Canvas
(23 cm x 30 cm)

I am loving playing, embossing my craft stamp quotes onto canvas atop my acrylic painted background.

Do you remember as a child, picking a dandelion, making a wish and blowing the fluff ball of seeds into the wind. This quote reminded me of the child like dream. What dream or intention are you ready to send into the wind? Can you trust in the journey into maybe unknown territory where those seeds of your dreams land and take root? You may be surprised where they transform, taking flight.
Now is the time to fly!

Cornflower Blue


Cornflower Blue
Acrylic on Canvas
(20 x 30 cm)


This painting is inspired by a poem I wrote:
Cornflower Blue
Unmasked collusion
Dreaming, weaving
Wild and free

Sea of blue
Invoking infusion
Dancing, believing
Beauty of me
Cornflower blue
Dreams coming true

Very relaxing to paint and hopefully is reflected in the finished artwork.

Coral Beauty


Coral Beauty
Acrylic on Canvas
(55 cm x 55 cm)

Pouring of paint started the base of this painting. Adding another layer, the humble straw came into action. After much deliberation I started to see the Coral Sea so added a few fishes. 

Art is wonderful fun if you allow it. You never know what will emerge when you trust the process.

Day Dreaming



Day Dreaming
Acrylic on Canvas
(30 x 40 cm)


Abstract art is not usually my thing. I normally end up with a canvas that looks like mud with me feeling very frustrated. Well I finally let go of planning, working out what it would look like and allowed myself the freedom to be almost trance like, and dream. I even got up at 2 am to add the central piece! Go figure. (The background is brighter orange tones than is showing on my screen).

What I love about abstract is, what you see is in the eye of the viewer. Initially I saw a doorway, yet as I stood back I see a person. 

What do you see? Take the time to sit back, view and day dream!

Changing Times - SOLD


Acrylic on Canvas

Changing with the seasons, there comes a time when one must let go, to shed one’s leaves. Let the winds of time carry them forward, to spread their essence to new locations, bringing new life.

Dolphin Magic


Acrylic on Canvas


We are very blessed to live where dolphins frequent our ocean with their grace and beauty. Just today I was walking with a friend at Mandurah Quays. We stopped for a cuppa when one dolphin cruised up close. As we left, crossing the walk bridge two dolphins swam insync together. They looked so magical as they moved with ease, stopping everyone in their tracks to watch and admire their journey.
