healing tree

Again, playing with color.  Love the muted distressed look and the way it blends.  May use this as a background for another painting.

ancient

I love working with color and texture.  One day I would like to do this with paint and a brush on canvas, but for now this will do.   It is easy to clean up, all I do is just close the laptop.

home sweet home in a fairy tree

I broke my ankle a few weeks ago and have been stuck on my couch the entire weekend.   With not much else to do,  I spent the entire day today working on this fairy tree.  Why a fairy tree? I have no idea.  It just started evolving and I couldn’t stop.  It is not even [...]

artichoke

This picture was taken by a friend of mine  from in her back yard.  It  is of an artichoke in full bloom.  Personally, I have never had the opportunity to see an artichoke plant before and didn’t realize how absolutely stunning they can be, especially in full bloom.   Of all the pictures that she [...]

Greg du Toit – Hippo Bubbles

How many footpaths crossed the old estate—
The gracious acreage of a grander age—
So many trees to kiss or argue under,
And greenery [...]

peace mandala – desert

Went out to the bird preserve yesterday and the cactus were in full bloom.  The above peace mandala was made from the picture below.

Oahu Hawaii

My oldest son just got married in Oahu, Hawaii so we had an opportunity to travel and see the sights.  This was taken on one of our hikes the day before the wedding.  I found the contrast of cactus and ocean quite beautiful.

peace mandala – ageless

One of my newest peace mandalas.  It is made from a picture of a bearded old man.

peace mandala – life

I’ve had a burst of creative energy lately and created several new peace mandalas.  This one I was quite please with.  It was created from a picture of living coral and I titled it life because it appears almost alive.
If you look closely, there is a resemblance of five angels with wings spread surrounding the [...]
