Peaceful

I think one of the big questions in life, is how much is enough? How much love, how much friendship, how much money. It applies to every thing. At what point do you say, I am enough, and I have enough. I have given up striving. I have what I need. Beauty is enough, and I want to just take time to enjoy it.
Leave the peeling paint on the walls. Gasp! Let the garden go wild or tend it, whichever gives you the most pleasure.
Just enjoy the moment and be truly peaceful.

Painting the razzle dazzle and shimmer of light on every petal.

I am a receptionist by day and an artist by night.

I love flowers. I paint their voluptuous folds of petals, their rich muted colours and the razzle dazzle and shimmer of light dancing across their surface.
Trying to capture the ecstasy of emotion in a single flower, and share it with others, is my driving force.

I was a professional potter for 35 years. I got serious about painting 10 years ago.

Flowers are my topics of choice.
Oil paint and canvas my medium.
My favourite thing – painting time with my music turned up, and my mind turned down.
My favourite painting – always the last one I completed.
My favourite quote – If not now, when?
