How I found “The Way of the Brush”: Part 1: Drawing Forth what is Within
It is the willingness to be open to the creative spirit that moves in all us & trusting our own innate knowledge and giving it permission to come through in our artwork. Pure Process is accessing the deeper, mysterious and hidden places within our soul that have no words.
Inspired Journeys with Artistic Pioneer Alma Rumball
“You are the one who is divinely inspired to be the one to take the drawings to the world.” My mission came through Alma, from her Source of guidance, Aba, in 1972. At twenty-five I did not realize the implications; now, forty years later, I understand.
Imagined Train Stations – Part 2
Part 2 is a continuation in the series of oil stick paintings, recording figures passing through or waiting in rail stations. Referring back to this theme it continues in other paintings like “Liberty” or “All Saints”, representing as with everything we do in life, moving or even in stillness towards an unknown destination.
Make Your Walls Laugh
I changed my career focus from the corporate world and pursued my artistic passion to embark on my “Make Your Walls Laugh” series of imaginative, whimsical and abstract acrylic paintings, consisting of vibrant palettes and occasional humour in paintings that often tell a story.
The City – A Study
The city is a complicated place – at any time there is much activity and movement. There is a different harmony occurring in the city – an interaction between natural elements and human elements. Contrast this with a forest or lake.
Transcending the Limits of British Columbia’s Natural Landscapes
My connection with nature has been engraved in my soul since childhood. As a child I remember spending many hours alone in the forest behind my parents’ house lost in my own imaginary games and thoughts. The forest became my extension of home.
Inspired by the Love of Nature
My life has been defined in the most delightful way by animals. Most of my memories are highlighted by the animals that participated: at a long ago birthday where we fed ponies carrots, our trip to the beach where I saw hermit crabs and fish in tidal ponds.
Altering Earth’s Rhythm
Mankind has altered and changed much of the view of our planet. Pollution, clear cutting and industrialization are evident in some of the paintings and the titles also reflect my own opinions on our “process of change.”
Sway
Maya Angelou said something like ” If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” Powerful stuff. So I changed they way I thought about myself. I let myself take risks, go down paths I was unsure of, tried new things, stopped doing things that were not helpful ( comparison is the death of joy) and painted whatever I wanted to paint.
