February begins & sunny Hawkes Bay is lookin' good!
While perusing through my art scans I came across an image I was commissioned to create for a business that included body piercing.
The brief was to create a mysterious other-world being incorporating selected jewellery pieces that were then literally pierced through the image/canvas!
I just loved creating this creature! I have an inkling that our Creator didn't just stop with lil' old earth when it came to producing life with all its myriad forms. There's an entire universe to play in!
Check the image on Facebook and be delighted!

Here we are. 2012!
Is it the end of the world as we know it or the beginning of a new one? Regardless, let's look at making this year one of renwed heart-friendships, brand new encounters, innovation, challenge
and enlarging our God-space.
I'm working at pursuing all of the above, especially RAK,s.

Wow! This is it!! The final day of 2011! On our side of the globe the incessant rain continues into it's 3rd day resulting in cancelled public New Years Eve events and people rethinking how they'll celebrated the demise of 2011.
So what will you be doing ?(G-rated responses please! This is a family show!)
Keith & I will eat, drink and be merry, perhaps dance in the rain at midnight, inviting the Creator to join us at this pivotal time in earth's history.
2012.
What will it bring?  Hook into the Creators 'still small Voice & and He may give you an inkling or two!
 Here's the last quote for 2011

"History shows us that the people who end up changing the world – the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries – are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses.” – John Eliot

12 days to go before we celebrate our Lord Jesus' birthday! What an amazing cataclysmic event! The Creator of the Universe embracing humanity in the humble, vulnerable form of a newborn infant offering Divine life for those with eyes to see and hearts to recieve.
He became our Friend, Lover, Father, Mother, Child Who promises to be with us always. What a gift!
Remember this when you celebrate this festive season with your loved ones. :)  Have fun! It's important!

What a wild and wonderful day we had! Azure skies with wispy clouds strangely coupled with wild gust winds!
I've been working on a 3D project involving a hidden mirror, a peacock feather and frames within frames.  I will be posting an image soon, so watch this space!
Quote for the day:
'Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and it's ultimate expression.'  Issac Bashevis Singer
Now aint that the truth.

I'm continually be suprised and delighted at Spring's offerings of budding beauty.
What a delectable time of year!
In part this has inspired me to create a series of works based on the four Seasons.
I will be presenting one of the seasons right here.
So watch this atmospheric space!
