Dear Friend

Be the reason for someone to have hope. In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Time is not money!

Time is not a commodity! Time is a moment for compassion, a moment to uplift, a moment to be grateful, a moment to create, a moment to be still, and to observe your universe with Love.

Be still and observe your universe with Love; it will respond in kind. It is like cooking or baking, if you do not put Love into it, the dish always comes out like it is missing something.

Nine years ago when Thor blew into town

I wanted to experience painting in a snowstorm. I got my wish. Thor blew into town on 5 March 2015.

Large snowflakes were coming down this way and that way. Roads, pavements, and natural grounds disappear under a thick puffy blanket of snow. It was a magical wonderland. And cold.

Meanwhile, on the palette, it was like trying to mix paint with cornflakes getting in the way making crunchy sounds. It was an amusing experience.

I got what I wanted, quickly packed up, and returned to my studio to finish it. I do not remember what happened to the finished painting. Either I have misplaced it or I have gifted it. I forget. But I cannot forget the experience of the sense of place. Priceless.

Abstract Nº 2, 2024

Dear friend,

This piece was inspired by a poem from a dream I had on 24 February 2016. This is one of a few other dream poems.

Throughout the seasons

You are the clouds

I the sea

Always close to you

Never far from you
