Long White Blog unfolding itself across time and space.

Can you cope?

And what am I talking about anyway?

Remember the Resting-in-Abundance Tree from a couple of weeks back?

Well, it came to

fruition. Literally. This image represents a feeling of trust in which you are strongly supported to lean back and not have to

try try try

to work work work at

everything everything everything

always always always.

Once in lounging position, you simply reach out and pluck ripe fruit from the sumptuous branches that arc overhead.

Sound good to you?

I was blessed to spend ten days in New Zealand, or Aotearoa in Maori, aka the Land of the Long White Cloud.

I fell in love with the first holiday cottage, aka bach, we stayed in and am happy to recommend it. See C Wise Cottage on Bookabach website.

There happened to be plum, peach, apricot and apple trees in the garden, festooned with ripe fruit for the easy picking. How cool. How synchronously, symbolically perfect.

You paint it, then you live it.

The power of art, nature and openness combined.

Stone Fruit Planet

Here’s a paintage (paint n collage) I made from my boarding pass. I confess it was the first time in many many years that I’ve left Australia, so it was a big deal to fly through those long white clouds.
