Reflection in a Painting

As in ancient philosophies that teach us to still the mind , I make an attempt at this through painting.

The process of giving and taking away . Textures and placement of paint all engage and draw the eyes. Areas of colour are subtle , reaffirming the emotion to reflect and ponder.

Bringing a piece of sanctuary to your space.

Glad my postcard-size painting arrived safely in Moss , Norway.

This is really amazing to see the power of using social networking such as Twitter.

Well done to artist David Sandum for organizing this charity event. There are 328 participants from 31 countries involved to raise funds for the Womens Crisis Centre.

Spotted a photo of my painting ' All the world's a stage' on exhibit.
