A blog about the complicated, frustrating, occasionally very rewarding business of trying to keep going as a creative person, in a world not always friendly towards the creative fire.
Graduated from art school in 2000 & have been keeping going creatively ever since - although sometimes by my bootstraps. I write fiction & poetry (& this). I draw & paint, & I cook, & I travel as often as I can. I know the world is not always friendly or conducive to the creative life or to the open heart, so I'm just working on keeping my inner fire alight, hoping that people like me can all help keep the bigger light burning too. May we all have the good fortune to enjoy health, happiness & creative fulfilment!
The twist being that this is one of my rather messy watercolour paintings - the view down the footpath from the hilltop chapel of the prophet Elijah, where I had lunch on one of my "walk" days.
The holiday was roughly divided into three "walk" days and three "swim" days, with a little watercolouring, a cold beer or two, and a lot of sunshine, cicadas and olive tree warblers on the side.
