flourishing imperfectly

solstice was beautiful here in the forest and now its nearly christmas

i wish you all the joy of the season

like many i have been thinking of the past year and the future one

one of the new skills i want to learn is video making ...here’s my first effort...
very far from perfect

like many i don’t do the new year resolution thing...

but do choose a word for the year for 2011 its

flourish






so here’s to flourishing imperfectly!


music by dragonsfly - a musical landscape across world traditions, with distinctive celtic and eastern flavours groove-driven, passionate, entrancing...

yes indeed!

lunar eclipse and winter solstice

all this and snowed in too!


happy solstice everyone!


i for one will be getting up early

tree of life

we have a very welcome visitor from australia
he has brought the sun and also a gift i was given in papua new guinea earlier this year
australian customs took the carving away to be sprayed for insect life

but now its here with me in the forest and i love it!



i was told the myth that the carving portrayed...
something about the smallest getting to the top of the tree on the backs of the other animals

but to me it is so much a tree of life

success on the internet

december's issue of artists and illustrators magazine has an article about artist's websites and blogs

quite out of the blue i was asked to if i would mind being interviewed as part of the feature...of course not!

so here i am...




thank you so much to writer sam phillips and to artists and illustrators magazine!


and of course thanks to ian for the portrait
