- Post boring appointment, what pleasurable aestheticism and indulgence to be up close and personal to the Streeton works and other Australian impressionists. Some BEAUTIFUL tonalist works and so many moonrisings. I had no idea. Brushstrokes, just so brave and purposeful #living #quality #transience
- Why in the world take a terrible train window photo? Apparently it’s a stupid, weird world out there - global, local and personal unconscionable trouble and grief to process. But, you know - still beautiful out there, good people & things to notice & learn… songs to listen to #nature #train #travel
- youtu.be/ubE_ac2wYPQ?... song of the morning #songoftheday
- www.wikiart.org/en/james-mcn... what a beautiful painting. Like a peaceful, restful song #paintingoftheday
- youtu.be/okLj1nfGG0s?... daily walks 6, 7kms now (6-7:) with magpies, hares, a subsumed sun. No believer in astrology, although I like the idea of being a fire dragon - also the snake resolved to become a horse with forward momentum & energy. Been a hard time, pass the panpipes. Time for change #26
- Lovely to be back in art class following what has been an emotional week with the devastating fires. Working away at ‘another’ road scene 🙄 Thinking of calling this ‘subsumed’ and whilst there’s plenty to ponder, I’m enjoying the feel of this one #painting #roadside #art #sun #light #lit #morning
- Really very large canvas now toned and the drawing is still visible 😅 Very hot out there… so it will be ready for some texture experimentation later on when it’s all dry #toned #art #cyclamen #biology #beauty #burntsienna #linseedoil #growth #drawing
- Working on texture to bring to a very large canvas… and experimenting a little with the process. Would be good for the canvas to feel as nice as it looks as an end product #textural #raised #leathered #patina #covered #art #painting #magnified #freetime #playing #fun
- Big day for the little cactus 🪷 A wise person asked recently about beauty. I deflected, but apparently it’s okay to consider such topics when you’re an artist? I think it’s a feeling. A painful one really… so fleeting, ephemeral, hard to hold. We get to behold and try to stay open #smallwins #seeing
- Always notice the limbs on this lovely gum. Its place in the world kind of marginalised and fettered, but graceful and fleshy and serene nonetheless #watching #nature #evening #tiny #great #tree #living
- theconversation.com/the-science-... interesting stuff.
- www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... interesting work
- Repotting and replenishing a mix of Mums and my plants. Should become a little jungle oasis in the awful carport #plants #pottering #sunlight #living #summer

- www.instagram.com/p/DR7fzZuExC... interesting thoughts on happiness and beauty, such complicated subjects…
- A photo my daughter took… one of our little friends, right beside me. They seem to like hanging around with us and I’m pretty taken with their mystery moves and aerobatics too #williewagtail #plucky #companion #birds #independent #mates #nature #light
- 10 minute pose… final quick drawing. I’ve tried life drawing 2 other times in my life, and I think I’ve managed to space it out once every 10 years. Feels nice to draw… I like it #lifedrawing #charcoal #soft #noticing #stillness #form #beauty #life #art #everybody
