Here is a detail of my new painting. If you are wondering what this is all about…. I have often worked with the theme Interior as it resonates well with me. Looking within can yield so many benefits particularly if it is aligned with Source. Each of my Interiors reveals more discoveries which I have shared over the years. This one is more earthy and symbolic. Forms have begun dissolving into each other. I am just the observer on a journey who knows where.

On a morning ride I was suddenly approached by this beautiful horse who thought he was well protected from the Corona Virus. Well that’s what I thought. Instead he explained it was a fashion statement and it did seem to be working. People were stopping to look and even photographing him like a real model. Maybe Casual Chic? Would you agree?

Bush Walk

A bush walk is normally to sooth the soul. To get us back in touch with our source.
And as we roam through the trees, bushes, animals and insects streams etc., we get a sense of the diversity and uniqueness of all things ….and the cycle of growth and…..decay!
Suddenly our whole world has been hit by something unknown in any of our lifetimes….but is a normal… if unwanted part of the life process. The great plagues of the past had devastating effects and here we are again.
Everything we took for granted is now pulled from under us.
We are all being “forced” to reassess our values and priorities…..to see life in a new way.

Knowing this truth can set us free. To discover who we really are and what we can contribute to the world for the benefit of all.

Nobody is immune to virus….. Everybody is enriched by love!

(These are just some thoughts I want to share from my… Bush Walk – WITHIN!) Burgess March 21st 2020.

Views From The Backyard

Art is all around us and particularly where we live. Often it becomes so familiar we take it for granted.

Once we start seeing fresh what surrounds us we see life and beauty in a new way.

A Landscape

Landscapes can appear before us in so many forms. From dramatic sunsets or spectacular mountain ranges to simple running streams or a grassy knoll.

This one beckoned me to pay attention to it because it does not fit within those usual categories and offers so much beauty within its complex but simply form.

The Wave

My work is very much about change. How we change and how the world around us changes. Also to remember that the essence of it all remains the same.

Presence and Change

This photographic image is all about CHANGE. How we see it and how we feel it. How when something is present in the world it gives us a certain feeling and when it is removed it totally changes the space it occupied.

The Embrace

This is a new painting which was inspired by a poem I had written a little while ago….

The Embrace

Words are percolating from my soul

A distant place which I embrace with all my heart

Touch not the embers of forgotten dreams

But embrace the light of a new day and hold it softly within your bossom

The joy extinguishes the pain

And gives us reason to refrain from sorrow.

For too long we have suffered needlessly

Not realizing that our destination is our choice and how we travel there.

The tableau of my life is writ anew.

Of Becoming Immersed In Everything

This is a drawing on canvas which no longer exists. Like one of my treasured flowers it appeared then disappeared. So it is now a memory……
