Water, Fluidity and Freedom
Painting with watercolour is like playing in water. This medium has such fluid and transparent characteristics. It's like the painting has a free mind of its own. I love how interesting and fun it is to try and exert some control over it.
When I was home in our kitchen I was always imagining the type of little creatures that lived around me. It's difficult to not miss home sometimes...this was a fun little project when I lived on Culburra Beach a month ago. At first I felt a little crazy and lost, but eventually I found my way
This piece was done a while ago in Nowra when I was missing my home in Ballarat. I titled it "Secret Garden", a portrait of the lovely garden at the back of the house. Now the house is rented out, it gives me a strange feeling. We went back for a visit to see how the place is going. They have 3 happy looking chickens and a few veggie beds. It was lovely to know that the people are taking good care of it. I wish that everyone is doing well out there.
"Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man Imagine all the people, sharing all the world You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one" -John Lennon

"People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as parasites fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognised by its host, one that can make its host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is the ruling class in a capitalist society" -Jason Read

Everything has a story. May it be the sun, the rock, the river, the spider, the passer-by, a newly acquired acquaintance, or an estranged close friend. Understanding opens the mind to build the most beautiful and colourful world. The mind evolves. Open the mind.
