This fantasy painting above shows a young child sitting in thick ivy surrounded by the most beautiful parts of nature; the rainbow, a swan, a lady bug and tiny blooms.
If you look closely you can even see where the rainbow has touched the child forever leaving a glow of colour on the skin. You can see the rainbow’s kiss by the child’s feathers. Although there is much to see in this painting it’s intent is to be soft on the eyes and warm on the heart.
I hope you enjoy it.
Swan Feathers can be seen in the Fantasy Gallery here on Sundrip as well as on my RedBubble page.

Give me your tired and weary art companions
Give to me your empty canvas crying out for media
Pens which have never seen paper
Brushes thirsting for colour and chalk long abandoned for charcoal.
Give to me the tired potters wheel and paintings that never came to be.
Left to dry like leaves in the sun so to is the oil of an old painter’s pallet.
Give them to me,
Frail and frazzled brushes, sponges bruised with Indian ink,
Cloth scrunched in cupboards, dishes cracked, left and forgotten beneath the sink of your shops.
Give to me your crooked, rusted knives longing to be caressed one more time, just one more time.
Needing, requiring like breath, like shelter, like life itself to be drawn across a world of acrylics once more, just once more.
Give them to me.

I now have a Crafts and Originals gallery.
This is a preview of what is to come.
Even Fairy Godmother’s should have a Fairy Godmother.
She has huge soft green eyes, butterfly wings, a sheer red dress and of course pouting lips. Looking off into the distance this Fairy Godmother asks, “Where is my Fairy Godmother?”

These are my newest endeavor - small paintings on 3 x 5 plywood, also known as craft wood. One is an abstract with 2 faces looking forward, a profile face and a full body profile on a brightly colored orange and red background. The second is a face painted with an exaggerated tear drop. It’s main colors are blue and green. It’s accented with a small multi-colored checkerboard on the cheek and just below the right eye. The face fades into the background in some ares and nearly jumps off it’s canvas in others. The last two shown in the picture are simple flowers with a glitter glue center. The first flower has a background done in metallic copper acrylic paint. The stem is lime colored green with periwinkle blue grass reaching around it. It’s center is a ring of gold glitter glue with a dot of purple glitter glue. The second flower has a multi-colored background wash of orange, red and yellow. It’s center is gold glitter glue with a blue glitter glue dot.
