it is importance to balance one’s life, with work and also with the things you enjoy. so i will always try to make time for art pondering, creating and visiting other people’s collections, as a vibrant life does, i have decided to add my love of music, both live and creatively. so….. last weekend I was able to see a wonderful musician called Ami Williamson, i only caught the 2nd act, but that’s ok, as it was better than not seeing her at all. she sang some 1960’s tunes and invited the audience to sing along which was so fun! it was within the folk style which I appreciate very much. instagram:@williamsonami
another cool happening was that i went with a friend to see some art which I haven’t done in a while, by an abstract artist, Reiko Azuma called “Life Force” solo works from 2020-2022, her paintings were so connected, energetic, fragmented and delightful, they would look fabulous in any space they were in. and as I am on a musical inspirational journey too, she also happened to be an amazing jazz musician, playing her tunes with a ukulele to her audience in a little gallery in Camperdown, it was so choice, that weekend. instagram: @reikoazumart
how is this rain my sydney friends? i cannot fathom how my garden has exploded with growth over these past months, my camellias are just about to pop with floral magnificance and carpet the grass with petaled glory, i have never seen so many buds on the trees, it is outstanding i must say, we are nearly mowing the lawn every week and it feels like we live in tropical queensland … and we know what that is like. very wet. my camellia studio is still out of action :( …. but the renovations continue, we are doing some choice tiling- subway tiles seem to take a while???…especially when you take them to the ceiling…i am thinking i will move back to the kitchen table to do my art and maybe some interior like artworks might pop out…i suppose you have to go with the flow and take what comes, and i do know that eventually life does sort itself out, and all the good things happen.
so all in all, how wonderful to have events and life getting back to what it once was before, i do like to go and experience the world around me…
have a creatively fab week…
