BACK
Imagine yourself going into a migraine, no drugs help. You can’t sleep, eat or think straight. Suddenly another migraine rides on the back of the first. The terror of pain then explodes into a third one. Then the unthinkable a fourth migraine begins to continue the terror as the third relinquished it’s tyrannical grip. Suddenly, just when you feel there is no hope, a powerful light drenches you with healing and leads the way to a new beginning.

Joshua Miels is a contemporary portrait artist who looks to capture the vulnerability of people and the emotions that people try to hide from others. Spending countless hours adding layer upon layer of paint Joshua produces artworks that are not only striking, but deep and powerful. Painted predominantly with oil paint, each piece begins with a subject, but with a large amount of experimentation, each art piece takes on its own journey from start to finish. The pieces challenge viewers to draw upon their own emotions and personal experiences.

Migraine is a colourful representation of the state or void I enter when a migraine strikes me. This painting depicts the pain and nausea juxtaposed with the light that can occur to bring peace to allow me the space to come out from the migraine state.

Daydreamer - Cadbury The Cat By HSIN LIN Comes with the small wooden easel shown in the photo. Suitable for small artwork display. Artwork is also ready to hang with D rings and wire attached at the back. 03/30/2021 20 cm (H) x 20 cm (W) x 1.5cm (D) Artist Acrylic on gesso primed Acid free canvas. Sealed with clear varnish. Signed at front, sides painted and ready to hang. Comes with certificate of authenticity. <br> Some body once said a piece of art is a part of Artist’s life, I totally agree with it. This is a very calming scene that I see often, sometimes I woke up, started all the daily routines and walked pass by the room seeing my Cat Cadbury still in bed soundly asleep. Like time frozen in peace. Her tiny, smooth breathing sound in rhythm is like the best mediation music that can calm anyone down in a second. <br> I have the same affirmation from my previous small artwork series – Family by Choice for this particular piece. We adopted Cadbury from RSPCA many years ago, she was so skinny and tiny back then. We shower her love every day, over the time she has become the anchor of my life, Cadbury is my family by choice with no doubt. By the time while I finished this piece, Cadbury is recovering from a surgery. I am willing to do anything I could to protect her, to make sure she is safe and healthy, so that she can sleep safe and sound like this artwork without worrying anything. <br> Affirmation: Friend is family by choice. Lover is family by choice. Partner is family by choice. Pet is family by choice. And you my dear, you are my family by choice. -We are all different, but we make each other better. - <br> Artwork inspired by my adorable cat in Bayswater, Melbourne, Victoria, Autumn 2021 By HSIN LIN.

What happened to the live music? Live music is gold, whether you are on the street, in a theatre or at the pub, but where did it go? I love a good session of live music, played from the heart. This is the busker.
