I've seen this paradigm inward the recent ROI Exhibition - summation it was saved past times the creative mortal since Jan for this exhibition - together with it sold straightaway. Haidee-Jo has an fantabulous optic for color together with musical note together with her draughtsmanship is pretty proficient too. She paints inward a looser impressionistic way.

Over the past times weeks, equally a number of the exhibition TREE at Beaux Arts inward London, I have got been asked several times if at that spot is a 'Japanese influence' to my work.

In the latter, with many other elegant together with subtle ideas, Richie discusses the term aware. Aware emphasises the wistful melancholy of the sympathetic response. It applies to that which moves i to an awareness of the ephemeral beauty of a globe inward which alter is the exclusively constant. The chemical constituent of aware may movement i to melancholy, awe, or tranquillity acceptance. Often such feelings run likewise deep for words

I promise that recent drawings have got held this inward mind.
