GET REAL

GET REAL is the title of a new online exhibition at Virtual Tart NZ, in which I have three works. It is a collaboration of 30 artists from around the world.

My slant on the title is "Get Real.....why?  From my point of view, art is more interesting the less real it is.  I like to stretch the interpretation of my subject just a little"

For instance:


TWO KOOKAS - acrylics 10" x 10" on wide-edge stretched canvas

There is such a diversity of work in this show, it is DEFINITELY worth a look....AND many are for sale.

  1. I went to look and you're right....there's a huge range of styles and topics. As I scrolled through, I spotted yours right away. Love the cityscape and, of course, your abstract was immediately recognizable. Good work, as usual. And, thanks for the kind comments on my sketching beginnings.

    I read something today that struck home that reinforces the concept practice, practice. Essentially it said that when beginning an artistic endeavor, your skill level won't match your taste level and most people can't stand the flaws so get discouraged and quit. That's what I've done in my previous efforts to draw. Conversely, those who continue for 1 year, 2 years and more, see their skill level match their taste and become satisfied and proud of their work. That's where I'm headed. I'm going to be the proof that "an old dog CAN learn new tricks!"

  7. This way my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's adventure launches with this shocking and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.

    THESE are the exact same tactics lots of famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.

    You've heard that you only use 10% of your brain.

    Really, that's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that conversation has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain around seven years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and $3 in his pocket.

    "I'm so frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"

    You took part in those questions, ain't it right?

    Your success story is going to start. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

  8. As reported by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh 19 kilos less than us.

    (By the way, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING about "HOW" they are eating.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", not "what"...
