I’m still playing with old images of the moon – perhaps I was a vampire in a previous life!!
This is a softer image than the last one I recoloured, originally done in ink and wash.

Last night I watched on the news as dozens, maybe hundreds, of trees flooded down the river with the mud of a lahar from Mt Ruapehu. What a tentative hold life sometimes has on the planet.

If only we could put down deeper roots … hence the roots growing in my latest painting.

I love O’Keeffe’s work, particularly the way she handled watercolours. There are a few of her paintings I have semi-copied, over and over, trying to gain an understanding of how she achieved the light in her paintings.

Today’s painting is one I have done numerous times before today. Not an exact copy, but certainly closely based on her image. Trying to understand, trying to learn…
