This painting is a view of Waewaetorea island, over looking Waewaetorea channel. I was standing on Urupukapuka island in New Zealand's northland as I took the photo I painted from.

This painting shows the watery space between one land form and another, and symbolically for me holds a felt experience of the many transitions we make in our lives. Some bigger at times than others.

This painting was taken from a photo I took as I was on my way to Mita Bay to go camping. It was such a beautiful day it reminded me of this poem by Rumi: What a day today. There are two Suns rising.... ! What a day. Not like any other day. LOOK...! The Light is shining in your HEART.... The wheel of life has stopped. O you who can see into your own HEART.... What a day, This is your day.
