My latest commissioned painting happily unveiled. As its title suggests, a tale of the rhythm and movement, the transient impermanence of life…..Of having walked from far inside yourself out into the revelation….
“Here Today….Gone Tomorrow” oil on two canvases, 30 x 110cm
So beautifully articulated by one of my favourite poets,
David Whyte….
I've been a full time painter of light for 40 years - self taught and independent, a former President of the NZ Academy of Fine Arts.
I'm into sustainability, planting trees and spiritual ecology. This includes growing award winning Lavender oil and olive oil.
I'm a student of the Diamond Approach; a psycho-spiritual path to realizing and developing our fullest potential

absolutely love this – art and poetry walk hand in hand. Is this vibrant painting watercolour or acrylic…?
What beautiful paintings Ian.
I love the message you’ve integrated into them. So many things…. yes, they are here – for today. A good reminder.
thank you for sharing both your lovely paintings and the poem!! cheers, Debi

Thanks Maureen. This is an oil painting, it’s my natural and favourite medium for creating a sense of vibrancy, light and aliveness!
