Today's painting-----Soul Dance.---and feeling alive.

To my mind  the soul is the Meeting Place  the central point of our existence ---here Humanity fuses into the Divine and becomes one essence while retaining separate entity. Here is a storehouse of energy for us to use,-----with love,-only with love.

 I also feel that today in an increasingly materialistic world we have lost contact with our soul to a large extent,----we really do not know ourself and what we need to feel alive and fulfilled .

So much unhappiness, stress, anxiety and confusion. So much living in fantasy and illusion, losing our direction and meaning.----So sad!

So my work is largely focused on a therapeutic approach that helps give people the space  and stillness to relax, move deeply within themselves to  relate to their soul,  so find their true self and the  refreshment, renewal and peace that comes from this meeting.

Red Red Wine------I needed it yesterday!

             
Yesterday morning did not go well! It was one of those mornings when despite a
supreme effort to stay calm, the compilation of small but irritating incidents multiplied minute by minute until the body wound itself into a tight knot of tension and every nerve jangled.

So it was with real gratitude and relief that we left for the studio and realised that it was infact a sunny day. Down there ,with the lightness and colour, with the sheltering palms and a few friends dropping in, things moved into a more balanced perspective. All not so bad really!

Especially that is as lunch time drew near, and we placed our little table just outside
at the top of the steps.---- Ah that sunshine, that blue blue sky, the inviting aroma of lunch and ofcourse that daily glass of wine.

How it softens my mood. Things seem simpler now; clearer,  more positive.My body relaxes along with my mind,tension melts away and I semi-drift happily in a mellow mood that somehow lifts me gently into a rather hazy, rosy glow.-----Thank God for the red red wine!

Dance of the Flames----Today's painting-----activity and stillness.

Dance of the Flames---acrylic on boxed canvas 24"x34"----€90

I was boasting the other day about the lovely sunny days we have been enjoying, -well this weekend has been stormy with gale force winds!

So how about a little warmth, colour, vibrancy, with the comfort of dancing flames.

I always try to infuse my paintings with colour, it is so much the way I see life.I feel too that today we are so much in need of an uplifting sense of animation and a balancing sense of stillness to truly appreciate the real beauty of living.

Fire seems to possess all of these qualities, and looking deep into the heart of the flames we are drawn into a mystery that centres on the very core of our being and

offers peace.

A sunshine day today.

A beautiful sunny february morning and the little sailing boats are there ready to start their day as we walk down to the studio,-

We are ready to start too, so the open sign goes up and a few canvases are put out on display.

Amazingly our poinsettias are still blooming and I love their scarlet brightness.

Joe is already busy watering the plants inside and out,

always more pleasant on a sunny day.

Lunch time here-a favourite time, especially on a sunny day helped along with a glass of red  red wine!

Enjoy your day!

MISTY MORNINGS AND SEA TRIPS

An early walk to the coffee shop and a soft mist hovers over the bay with the promise of sunshine. We are really blessed with lovely days-unusual for february, but ofcourse it is the feast of St. Paul today!

Revived by a warming cappuccino, good company and laughter, we make our way home to an increaasingly brightening sky.

A few enthusiastic fishermen  are already in position on the pier, and  here's a group of early birds eager for their trip out- just a few problems to settle first! I'm sure they'll make it.

Yes, all in all it looks like being a great day!
