Three of my paintings... for sale at Kurnell
The top painting shows Koi fish swimming over each other as they all try to get the crumb that has already gone!
The next one I named 'The Messenger' after reading a folk story from the native Zuni Indians of New Mexico.
'THE MESSENGER'
THE STORY: A brother and sister awake to find that they have been accidentally left behind when the villagers abandoned their homes to find food. The boy makes a toy insect out of grasses and gives it to his little sister to comfort her.
The children wake one morning to find that the toy has come to life and is dancing, hovering, and gliding through the air. They delight in its shimmering beauty and are happily distracted. But at the end of each day, as night falls, they become sad and lonely, and wish for the return of their parents and neighbors.
The live toy is sad for the boy and girl and flies to the land of the gods. It relays the children’s fears and wishes. The gods, in turn, send messages back with the delicate insect offering comfort to the children and giving them instructions on survival. This beautiful insect messenger to and from the gods was given the name Dragonfly.

I have brightly coloured fish in my pond and love to watch them glide through the water, this pond with it's water lillies and fish is a constant source of inspiration.
