A Jumble of Fish


A jumble of fish, tumbling about in the waves at night...seaweed swaying and swooshing in the shadows.  Where does one fish end and another begin?

Finding Inspiration


Since I'm on the verge of starting a new fish painting, I thought I'd play with some designs before I start, to squeeze out a little fresh inspiration. For this design I used water-colour, inks and acrylic paint. 

Journaling has taught me that what you begin with isn't necessarily what you end up with. That it's good to take twists and turns when you're creating, take risks because you never know what might happen!  Sounds a lot like life to me too!

The Puzzle .....


Yesterday I had morning tea with some very good friends of mine at a local park, overlooking Terrigal Lagoon.  We ate warm mini-quiche's and date loaf, washed down with coffee, tea and chai.  We found some old, majestic fig trees and hugged them...as you do... 

It was so very cold, yet we sat there with gloves and scarves on, hands wrapped around our steamy mugs and talked and talked.  We were there for hours, though it was as if no time had passed. How does time go so fast & easily when you're with kindred spirits?  Time really is a puzzle!
