A real cat

Meet Stella... she's in training to be the cutest cat in the world... a long way to go. She is the first cat that I've had who hasn't been a human.

Monday after the festival

An appropriate quote for today.... Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music. - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller

Finding my blog feet

Trying to find less wobbly blog footing today. It's been a wonderful, crazy week & now I am pretty much festivalled out! The Musafir Gypsies, The Jaipur Brass Band, The African Boyz, Popeye - the amazing acrobatic duo, and much, much more. Next week Melbourne will be back to its quiet little self. No Palm Stage - oh woe!

Check out the gracia+louise flickr files to see more of the above.

Off to catch the W11:Karachi2Melbourne tram now for one final fling before it all ends on Sunday. This is your last chance to hop on board the wondrous tram - it's such good fun, everyone beaming. It's good to see the ol' Connies back in town. If only all our tram rides came with Bollywood tunes blaring. Foot tapping and humming away.

Happy weekend to you all,

The beginning

Hello & welcome to my brand new little blog, with it's name taken from a favourite sign that hangs on the outside wall to my garden studio... a place for me to put all my recent icons, paintings, thoughts, sights and such.

You can also check out my web site over here, whilst I figure out how to drive this thing.

My recent work can be seen here AND some of my most recent icon portraits over this way
