All in the eye of the beholder.
Last night I saw the first image as a storm at sea and thought ‘Power of Poseidon’ This morning my thought is ‘how could you see it that way?’ Today, one view seems to me to be ‘looking beyond an arbour’ and the painting turned upside down is as if ‘from the inside looking out’. One appears sun lit and the other moon lit. The perspective changes everything. The colours only an addition. What draws us in is the form and the contrasts of light, dark and textures and then, the mind begins its litany.....
I don’t think I will finish this one either. What is happening here is a micro view of what occurs with all things and all in all situations, and the possible interpretations and perceptions prompted by a single thought.
I choose this morning that I shall not impose my view nor close the chapter but rather leave this open ended so that it can grow and have a life of its own....
I find myself driven to follow these explorations. Never an end result in mind. Bold strokes and then following where the lines and colours lead. Sometimes I walk away to allow the painting to breathe....allowing it to define itself
Here I have a water fall flowing into a chasm and the other, eyes appearing from the underbrush .... how fascinating that when we allow space and breath to co-exist the energies manifest into something tangible....

A SUMMER ART CAMP PREVIEW! Week 6
Week AUGUST 16-20
Expressive Arts! Fairy Tales & Drama! Yoga Adventures!
Ages 6-
Facilitated by Una Pape, Educator, Diane Finlayson & Martina Kruger, Certified Yoga Instructor
Create, Imagine and Play it out!
This camp is about developing the creative process, using imagination to bridge visual art with self expression and story telling.
Activities of this camp are designed to foster confidence, cooperation, respect, and allowing the kids to experience independence, teamwork and self regulation relating to a positive self expression.
We explore art expression during the mornings and ‘travel’ into the world of make believe with Una Pape. We love the world of fairy tales! Children will be creating diorama cubes of scenes from a popular fairy tale - and the characters using puppets. Of course role-play and dramatic reenactments are part of the fun!
Early afternoon with Diane Finlayson to painting, collage and experience various media to support the morning explorations and on going projects.
End of day will be a lovely relaxation and cool down with Yoga and Martina Kruger.
