Fleeting abstractions
Transforming Creativity
I love the things in life that are mysterious, abstract, not quite understandable. (Sounds like my wife’s description of me!)
I love the sea because it is always changing, it’s beauty is transforming before you.
Imagine years ago when it could not be photographed. It’s ever changing surface could only be represented by an artist, at best.
What about the perfect moments that you have had with your partner somewhere, maybe on a holiday or at a cafe… they can’t be captured or even properly recalled.
When I was a portrait artist I loved to capture that look on the face at that exact moment. It would not be back.
If you are parent you have experienced many beautiful times when your child said something so cute you could have melted or they looked so gorgeous, you had to pick them up. These times are fleeting.
What am I getting to? I have a new website where I am asking viewers to contribute an abstract moment, a fleeting strange interpretation of life. In 200 words or less I want a new way of seeing life!
Have a look undergrounddelights.com.
I get around, round, round, rounder
We've moved again!
In our life long quest for Economic Utopia we have closed our gallery in Eumundi. Unfortunately it did not work out for us. It is a beautiful town and the people are delightful but it wasn't for us.
Also there were some complications with house selling and buying (I can hear lots of you saying – I know exactly what you mean!) So we are back on the Gold Coast and my studio is now my gallery. Phone Lina 0404074126 if you would like to come around to buy some art.
We get around. We have had many house moves and many changes in our life. Maybe that gives me the creative outlook that I have. I am not afraid of change and adapt to the new situation very quickly. In the long run it doesn't really matter because we all end up in the same situation – dead! That's the good news!
What matters is how you fill in the gap between here and dead!
Adopt creative ways to solve your problems.Unleash your creative heart and step out. Take the risk and do it! Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win.
However, if you sit in front of the TV and dream, you will slowly sink into half-life where your senses are dulled and your mind becomes rigid. Oh what fun!
Your body is the same. if you get out there and be active, sometimes you will fly and sometimes you will fall, but if you don't do anything you will slip into the dullness and heaviness of a prison of your own making.
Become creative before you become dead, one way or another!
This blog is just too much fun, I'll quit now and go settle down in front of the TV and dream of what I could be doing.
