Seek out what magnifies your spirit

| "Seek out what magnifies your spirit" |
Since working at SLT I have been inspired to paint in a different style. I am more attune to the intricacies of life and am again reminded of Blake's idea of eternity in a grain of sand. Pomegranates are magical, sensuous fruits, revered by many cultures as symbols of fertility. To me, the jewels inside these shiny orbs represent the abundance and the divine in us all. Clearly there is a nod to India miniature painting here although the canvas is quite large and the distressed ultramarine, gold leaf and Islamic arch remind me of Fez, again a place of labyrinthine intricacy and secrets.

Seals on the beach
Every Winter Norfolk's Horsey beach becomes a seal pup nursery.
On Friday 700 seals were counted.
The pups can't swim just yet and they haven't acquired their sea coats so
they just loll around drinking milk and gaining 2 kilos a day
until they are ready to head for the water.
Starvation and disease mean that only 40% survive.
This little one loved the camera and seemed very mature in some of her poses.
