Des Reves d’Or, Sogni D’Oro suggest allegories of gold, and dreaming of transformation, as the alchemists changed dark matter into the golden elixer. Drawings, paintings and sculptures depict the mysterious, whether it be a Dragon, or the precarious balancing of a woman on a galloping horse, or a stranger being drawn to the alchemist’s chamber by her magical procedures. Awareness emerges, as these expressions evolve, and it is through their making, that I become more aware of my own journey. The work often informs me, and this is the power and the real magic. The works come from a deep part of my psyche and present me with aspects of my own being to which I had previously been unaware.

Images pour les Reves d'Or

Une torche ardente represente l'inspiration.

The Dragon Emerges

It is magical how he is evolving, my Dragon in the parlour..... some gold leaf now appearing on his hyde and his wings begin to gleam, he is graceful, fearful and amazing to me as I greet him into this world. I call on the Dragons from the four directions, my friends from the Druid meeting in Phen Rhu when the continents converged and I saw the seven grey horses , the dawn of my new life.... but that's another story.... Lyza's MYTH....Sogni D'Oro.....

Due Lezione

Today taught two Italian lessons, and enjoyed a breath of relief in the constant struggle. Starting to breathe in the gentle calm of a cozy home where I can be safe, and think, and create, and be.....

Autumn in Montreal

Beautiful golden days.... Art is like a comforting blanket, wrapping me cozy as the cool nights come on and the dreams grow...

A project

Finally, a break. I begin work as a sculptor on a French short film... Stop action animation with characters based on the dance of Buton Should be interesting.... Lucky timing too!

If you let nothing stop you, you will always find a way....

Poison Ivy

Well I had totally forgotten about that little plant, so virulent here in southern Ontario, where I've been tromping through the woods with Poppi.... I hadn't sat on an ant hill, but rather a patch of the ivy. It was only after it spread to my arms and neck that I realized... time for the calamine lotion.... ah what relief it brings.....

accidental.....

Enlightenment is accidental.
The search can make us accident prone....

We Already Have

We already have what we are searching for. It is only to allow it to emerge from our consciousness. I become still and appreciate what I already have.....

The dreaming

We dream our world into being. The nature of the metaphor propels us forward. Bring back the wisdom of the wild.

G 20.....

Well this Saturday morning I feel a nervous trepidation as the G20 begins in Toronto. It seems the government is afraid of it's own people. The new threats of terrorism have allowed the complete and frightening shutdown of access for peaceful protest at a time when many are very concerned about the way the world is being run. Are we not a democracy here? This over the top presence of hundreds and hundreds of officers in riot gear, water cannon, huge fences... This is troppo fascisti per me!!!

Forza! I ask for clarity as I move along my path. Watching fir the signs that direct this Taoist soul.

Art at it's best informs and delights.

Art is crucial to civilization, a means by which the species survives.
The idea of beauty is the mechanism which attracts us to art, enables us to engage reality without the veil of prejudgement.
The commonality that engages the viewer with the artist moves us closer. We approach the most important element needed for our world at this time and space, and that is compassion.

Spring!

Poppi had a bath today to wash off mud from lovely walks in the park. Feels good to be free, in this time, painting, sculpting and somehow I have a great faith that opportunities will appear.

A gorgeous day!

All is well here in the belle province. Spring is truly here. The leaves are bursting open on the trees. The glorious sun shines down on us making us remember that possibilities are everywhere....

Il Progresso

Well the wrist is on the mend or rather working on the bend.... dispersions at an end and more messages I'll send.
Glad to be free...... Glad to be feeling that fire, that powerful fire of creativity that is the real life......

Things are looking up!

Today I sold a lithograph, and last week began my latest film gig.... alchemical skills required , creating the black rain , like the dark matter of transformation for a film on interplanetary struggles.... or rather inverse worlds, complete with anti gravity effects and all...

Lovely Winter Days

Bright sun,crisp air, the verticality of the forest trunks, dark against the snow and the blue of a cloudless sky. Peace in the woods....

Gratitude

I am pleased to have the opportunity, the time to become still, realize and appreciate all that I already have. I am truly blessed and am filled with gratitude for the life that I live.... Grazie Dio
