Wake-up garden, it is raining ; For the past four months I have been waiting patiently for it to rain. For most of that time I have also been waiting for the builder to construct the rustic bridge to connect the garden’s newly opened pathway through the rainforest. Last Saturday, in drizzling rain, the bridge came to fruition over the dry creek-bed. I was very excited to finally link my pathways from one bridge to another. Then the rains came. I held my breath as a trickle started then grew and grew until my little dry creek came alive and began to flow freely. The garden that I have nurtured through the drought is now freshly washed with green shoots sprouting everywhere. The garden has come alive. Thank you rain.

I am an Australian artist living and working on the Sunshine Coast. I paint in oils and acrylics and draw with charcoal and sometimes pastel. I have been working as an artist for over 25 years. I also teach painting and drawing and have had several articles about art published in Australian Artist and The Artist's Palette magazines. My studio is where I go to be just myself. Where I let all the joy flow and I can lose myself for hours. My garden is also my creative space where I labour happily in nature and listen to the birdlife and smell the richness of the earth. It is my labour of love too.
