Sat - 26 March 2016 On this Easter weekend, my thoughts dart through "sunlight and shadows" like a flock of swallows, as they feed upon what sustains them. Sometimes swooping over fertile fields of my imagination. Abloom with precious flowers of Hope.. They linger there more than often... to play with their "food". Flitting through the sun-warmed fragrance of sweet Memories... calm and happy times shared with beloved friends and family members during unexpected lulls between the storms. Of lazy, summer days filled with play and laughter that still echoes through the air. Of joyful times when I explored a new terrain on lands I thought I knew until then. Discovering Nature's wonders wherever I might wander. Always on "safari" hunting blackberries whether in season or not. Sometimes finding the fruits of my Great Expectations to gorge upon, like some wild beast of the woods and fields I played in at the Family Farm, when I was young and innoc

After years of going without gallery representation, I have been fortunate enough to find an art gallery shrewd enough to focus on emerging artists such as myself. I currently have two original oil paintings entered into Tap Gallery's ongoing "Cats, Dogs & Best Friends" group show that opened Tuesday, 22 March 2016. This exhibit will run until Sunday, 03 April 2016. The gallery has relocated to 1/259 Riley St, Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia. Phone: (02) 9361 0440... Email:info@tapgallery.org.au The owner/manager is Leslie Dimick (God BLESS her!!). The gallery is open every day I believe, from 12noon - 6pm. I am offering a smaller painting titled "Joy And Sorrow". I am selling it for $700.... This painting received a "Highly Commended" Award at the Fairfield Arts Exhibit held at Club Marconi a number of years back. Just before our first "No Grounds" eviction if I remember right. The larger painting I entered in this exhibit

Good Friday - 25 March 2016 ... I haven't posted on this blog for a long time for a variety of reasons. Well... the fact that this blogspot started malfunctioning right after I spent a serious amount of time uploading several photos which soon mysteriously disappeared for no apparent reason, certainly caused a lot of problems. I didn't feel comfortable uploading anything else until I could find out why the photos suddenly went missing, & could trust it wouldn't happen again. After countless frustrating attempts to contact the individuals who are supposed to maintain this blogspot, with no success, I finally gave up & started a new blog at "www.ieyeofthestorm.tumblr.com". I have not had any technical problems with my 2nd blog. So if you want to see a more complete range of my creative works, I suggest you make your way there. I still keep this first blog though, because it has a statistical counter that tells me how many times my first blog has bee
