WHAT LIES BENEATH?


'UNDERWATER' acrylic on canvas.
I was inspired to paint this several years ago in early summer after gazing at the sea scene below our apartment. The water translucent in blues and greens, then moments of clarity drawing me into a still, mysterious depth.How I long to penetrate this depth, move to the very centre,beyond the mystery.

 It's the same with people.We move through Life,in an interaction with others, so often skimming the surface, seeing only the veneer, the superficial.How seldom do we try to move beyond into the hidden depth of the other in , touch on the very core of being,and really see what lies beneath.

Here we might discover something wonderful; a common bond, an empathy, a reality that lifts us to a new level of living,drawing on a source of energy that lets us all live life as Life.

The problem is everybody nowadays doesn't have the time to do this........if we all slowed down ALOT then people may sit up and realise and observe certain things and be able to delve into that ''hidden depth''.
