The Waters of Akumal

In the shallow waters of the sea, just off shore, creatures are hidden away. In tide pools, painted waters emerge, and while snorkeling, everything is up for discovery.

 

The sea is open to all explorers, it is vital for our future survival on this planet. Long before earth even had a name, from it came everything which inhabits land today. Take the time to appreciate what we have been given, and protect it from oil spills, plastic waste, and all that does not belong there. Become more aware and appreciate what lessons it has to teach us.

Sing for Hope, Piano Painting Time

 Piano painting continues, dots have entered the scene, starting on the back, they will progress to the front and top of the piano soon.

It has come a long way since the early days of sanding and applying gesso. A bit trippy taking apart a piano, to sand and paint. The process of taking of something precious and reconstructing it. I am really enjoying each day I am able to go and sit amongst the other artists, with my headphones on and get totally lost in the creation process.

Painting with Water

My recent need for adventure brought me to Akumal, Mexico. A relaxing and easy going place to explore the sea and realize dreams, if only but for a little while. As I watched the water rippling from the incoming tide, I became mesmerized by the paintings appearing. And disappearing. Trilobites hid beneath the surface, and then were exposed. I could have stayed and watched the display of color and light all day.
