This month’s artwork is titled ‘Iris’.
It is 26 cm x 42 cm, acrylic on paper. Some of the irises look like dancers, butterflies, nudes, fairies. It’s a whimsical painting, full of movement. It is gently joyous. I hope you enjoy the painting. You can see it and others in my online gallery.

Warmly,

Once upon a time a 9 year old girl had been stimming in the garden.  Thirty feet away, an excited black curly haired retriever/kelpie cross bounded about happily, looking like a cheery harmless grizzly bear.  The dog had no name for it was only visiting.  It belonged a man who’d gone on holiday and was being looked after in respite care.  But the 9 year old didn’t care, for anything friendly was a friend.  Read the rest of this entry »

Three years ago I began an interactive poetry challenge on my blog.   It involved the public sending me 1-2 word titles and I had to send back a poem to each title within 48 hours.

Ranging from surreal, to grungy, from romantic, to funny, from political to symbolic and everywhere in between, the poems were as diverse as the titles sent in.   I gathered them into a collection called Weirdos Like Me.  It’s a collection of poetry, art and surrealism.  Amidst the poetry are also song lyrics to songs by Donna And The Aspinauts with whom I am the lead singer and main singer-songwriter.

This week, I released my new book, Weirdos Like Me. It’s a collection of art, poetry and surrealism.  And, so, dedicated to all of you living with snow up to your eyeballs, here’s one of the works from the book, entitled SNOW.

SNOW

Confetti soft, it fell, calling me, the girl from a land of sun.

From the window it took my heart.

My feet ran me down the stairs.

I turned, music box dancer in a world of falling sky

And I knew snow. Read the rest of this entry »

This month’s art work is titled “The Velveteen Rabbit”.

Its from my Dreamscapes/Faceless collection and features a Rabbit and his Person in a cradle like boat on a lagoon.  Each appears waiting for the other to navigate and because neither do, the water itself navigates them.  They drift in silence, just ‘being’.   The Velveteen Rabbit was a book by Margery Williams about a stuffed rabbit who longs to be a real rabbit.   The work is acrylic on paper, 31cm x 41cm.

I hope you enjoy the painting.  It is one I did this week, the rest of which you can see in my online gallery.

This month’s art work is titled “Life on Earth”.

It features two of my faceless people standing in a forest at ‘the edge of the earth’.  Whilst they are grounded in a tangible reality, beneath them is a realm of intangible emotions.  One is tentatively asking the other a question but the other person is unable to answer.  The work is acrylic on paper, 31cm x 41cm.

I hope you enjoy the painting.  It is one I did last week, the rest of which you can see in my online gallery.

This month’s art work is titled ‘‘At The Typewriter“.

And it was at the typewriter that I began to find I could express something more than echoed speech.  I was about 9 years old when a typewriter was left in my room for my discovery.  Being a child with extreme Exposure Anxiety, I was reticent about it.  Surely it was an attempt to test me out, to get me to accept it, and clearly it was of ‘their world’, not mine.  Read the rest of this entry »
