I was wondering if anyone feels they might benefit from being part of an art group specifically for those here. I'm an artist, though I have to admit to you that I've produced absolutely nothing for ages due to being ill and in hospital, not having anywhere to exhibit for aeons and generally being extremely knackered out most of the time. But then I started thinking maybe I could do something positive about it. I've worked within what's called the 'Arts in Health' sphere and done a lot with things like colour therapy. I'd also like to say that you don't have to be rich to make art. I've done a whole exhibition made from recycled materials. It's all about taking yourself to another place for a while and having a bit of messy fun. No judgemental rubbish or anything like that. And if you don't think you're able to draw anything that looks remotely like what it's supposed to look like, well, that doesn't matter either. I think that maybe for starters you might like to message me if you are interested and then I'll try and work out a little programme. Just for us. Let me know what you think. Rainy X
Yes, it certainly reminds me of Switzerland We had a cruise on Lake Thun near Bern after visiting the Paul Klee Museum. [wonderful]. Thanks for posting Tony.

Picasso's Guernica 1937
You maybe familiar with the painting or the history regarding the town in Northern Spain. I travelled there as a younger man and viewed the painting in Madrid.
In so many ways, the painting is a reflection of my mind when i was diagnosed with cancer. Chaotic, imploded, broken and loss. Just like the painting really. Nowadays, ive accepted my situation. I feel time is getting short but then life is impermanence. Loss and chaos has been replaced with a sense of peace. You see life is about separation in the end. Its a situation everyone of us faces eventually, in sickness and in health. I think it makes each moment more valued.
What do you think ?.
Peace
