ARTIST & SINGER
Some people will be literally running out of lockdown, embracing freedom with arms wide open…but as I was creating this artwork yesterday … I was sensing… for me… it will be a gradual emergence from my creative cocoon.

I was so inspired by our walk, I couldn’t wait to start painting when I got home.
This was the view I was greeted with on my walk this morning, still so humid from the rain last night and the early morning storm. I love watching storms and the menacing clouds that accompany them, but my family will attest that sometimes, the ‘boom, crash opera’ causes me anxiety.
For many years I have been viewing Lion Island from a distance.
I painted this watercolour ‘plein air’ a while ago …sitting on bench at West Head Lookout.
Little did I know back then, that one day I would actually be living in that landscape and watching the way the sun touched the Hawkesbury sandstone outcrops of Lion Island, this time from the other side.
This morning, I had the most amazing experience… where time stood completely still …. all that I was aware of was my breath…and….connectedness to Spirit.
Since moving to the Coast we have experienced so many beautiful sunsets. From our new home, we have a direct view of the setting sun, the dimming of the day. This particular sunset came after a rather dramatic afternoon summer storm.
