COLOUR MY WORLD

 'LIGHT ENERGY'----WATERCOLOUR-12"X16"

                            Colour My World.

Colour my world with rainbow hues,
 nothing drab or dreary,
this is my wish:-
To live in harmony with life,
see the beauty of Creation up close,
rise into the morning sun,
touch Heaven with my heart.

Butterfly moments----

Beautiful and graceful,varied and enchanting, small but approachable,-butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.
And everyone deserves a little sunshine.

Joe among the daisies.

  

I love this photo of Joe taken last week in the palazzo grounds.

The daisies abound and the Mock Orange above is delightfully fragrant.

Passers- by wander in often to sit beneath the statue and rest awhile.

A sense of history here,a place of refreshment and peace.

I must say though that I  am just a little wary of the man brandishing the club!

Simple pleasures-----and birthdays.

I truly think I am happiest with the simple pleasures in life----yes, even on my birthday.

So last week I celebrated very simply and really enjoyed the day.

Joe and Ingrid arrived at the studio early and we all enjoyed coffee and biscuits as I enthused about the lovely Indian tunic they gave me.

Lunch was a simple home -cooked affair, but so relaxing, washed down with a glass or two of red wine and listening to-believe it or not ,-'The Shadows'!

A rest for a while, then off to Golden Bay for a leisurely walk,  finishing with a cappuccino at our favourite little kiosk cafe,and  gazing at the sea below.

Night time,----the time to settle down with a good D.V.D. thriller.

What more could I ask for on my birthday?

Today's Painting-----Under the Sea

                  Under the Sea-----36"x28"---acrylic on boxed canvas € 270

                                                      
Usually with the arrival of Spring and the changing light, I feel my spirits rise, and I
can never suppress the forceful urge to take up my paints again.

I love the colours of Spring, the newness, the freshness, the clarity.I feel that the renewed sense of life and energy needs to be translated onto canvas and so I paint as the mood and moment inspire me.

This painting I  feel captures some of the joyful Spring qualities that I love, hopefully there is a feeling of lightness, brightness and animation, with the textured background adding depth and dimension.The sea below us always inspires me at this time of year, especially on a South wind day when I gaze  into the clear depth, transported to that mysterious world of beauty.

It is offered here for sale, or from the studio, feel welcome to visit.----Mo
                                                                  

A place for peace and quiet----

The Public Gardens setting lies just outside Mosta, so the other day we took a detour on our way back to St Paul's Bay.

A lovely experience! A small area, just a few relaxed people chatting quietly, and a breathtaking view over the fields to the blue sea beyond.

Time to sit and reflect for a while, drinking in the stillness. Nature all around in its simplicity and wonder, a gentle beauty unspoilt, unhampered, unpretentious.

                                                                          

                                                                      
A place to visit when the soul needs refreshment , a place to breathe in peace.
                                                                           Mo.

Away from it all-----

Off to Golden Bay again on a lovely blue sky day.

At this time of year the crowds haven't gathered, there is a sense of carefree leisure.

 It's not too hot to walk about in the sun, not too cold to indulge in a gentle paddle.Swimming is for the few brave souls who inevitably appear!

There's the little kiosk above where you can bask in rthe sun enjoying a very good cappuccino----- almost mesmerised by the dazzling sea sparkle,---- lingering maybe to watch the glorious golden sunset.

Peace,  freedom, and wonderful space, simplicity,-----Golden Bay is a treasure!
