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
Moving swiftly on and because we can now say that the summer is ending, I am going to post my last selection of 'Beach' pictures: These two pictures are by one of my favourite painters: the American artist, Richard Diebenkorn. They are both from his massive series of works the 'Ocean Park Series' and I love them. As a landscape painter myself, they encapsulate the place and the light and, most importantly, there are no people in it. Just all the feelings of being in that place, brought to the canvas. Wonderful. Oh- and they are pretty big too. Rainie x

CHANGE.
Changes are happening now as we know from the news. From the seasons to our individual pathway, impermanence is part of life, not fear. It just is !. someone once said to me " nothing ever dies, it reappears in a different form"

Hi , I do hope I've got only a part of those paintings. You may be aware that I always use a phone for all the site work and all I can see seems to be the left quarter of both, even if I turn my phone on its side. If, unfortunately, I am looking at the same as you and everyone else then I'm afraid I'm not a fan of such work!
Just in case I am really looking at only a corner of the actual painting I am including a screenshot below.
Take care Rainie
