I went to see Lynch's Mulholland Drive last night at The Astor, a gorgeous old movie theatre in Melbourne, Australia. I still don't know how all the intricacies of the movie plot joined together but it was a beautiful experience. #davidlynch #mulhollanddrive #film #beauty #artlife

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about the big spectacle. Whether you're with someone or with your own good self, stay true to the story you want, unfolding in its own time.

Doing some more painting. This one is called 'More Greenery' and is from the series 'What the World Needs Now'. I'm still finding my style as a painter, but it's fun to experiment with different things. #painting #Iampainting #abstractpainting #abstractpainter #painter #artist #art #visualart

As an artist I have a number of what I call "hobby businesses". One of them is with my mum. She makes knitted beanies, scarves and mittens and I sell them on etsy. Take a look here: www.etsy.com/au/shop/bohe... #knitted #beanies #scarves #mittens #handmade #etsy #hobbybusiness

Art isn’t just for show—it’s the hours of unseen effort, the quiet practice before the performance. Like a pianist mastering a ballad, true artistry comes from the work you do when no one is watching.

That work is what makes the performance appear effortless.

Work in progress: 'Respect for all humans' from the series 'What the world needs now'. I love how a mood can be created from texture and colour alone. #abstractart #abstractartist #visualartist #visualart #painting #iampainting

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

Gemma has such a gentle presence, that made me feel really comfortable as she guided me through the sessions. –Susan
