Getting into the clear air and bright light, the places we rarely go…..our aspirations
‘Reach for the Sky’ – the Southern Alps near Mt Cook, oil on canvas, 60 x 120cm
PLACE
Once in a while
You may come across a place
Where everything
Seems as close to perfection
As you will ever need.
And striving to be faultless
The air on it’s knees
Holds the trees apart,
Yet nothing is categorically
Thus, or that, and before the dusk
Mellows and fails
The light is like honey
On the stems of tussock grass,
And the shadows
Are mauve birthmarks
On the hills.
~ Brian Turner, from ‘the nature of things’ poems from the New Zealand landscape
Feel the crispness
Reach for the Sky…..

Stunning. It looks like a photograph.

Thanks a lot. People often say that and Im happy because Im hoping the impression of reality has taken them past the image to the sense of being there.

On the blog and your website that is my experience. Human consciousness needs as many reminders of beauty and harmony that it can get. These call us collectively back to our senses and a luscious sensuous relation with Nature. Thank you for giving your gift of art into the stream of human consciousness.

Wow, It’s my pleasure. I agree that the more reminders we can have of our connectedness – the better off we will all be.
