"Living food is the yummiest food on earth.It is where all the other flavors come from. It is what they use to spice and season the cooked stuff.It is impossible to top! The basic flavors were given to us by the natural kingdom that also gave us the basic colors, musical tones and amazing scents. All of these things have something divinely perfect in their essence. And they seem to me to have been provided as building blocks for us to work with, to be creative and fill the world with all kinds of beauty. We have done amazing things with colors and tones and scents. And to think that with the advent of the raw-vegan culinary arts we are coming into an age of sumptuous orchestrations and true masterpieces to please not just the palate, but to invigorate the whole being ... palate, mind, body and soul!" ...

Spring Equinox and Super Moon
Amid all the man made and natural disasters on our planet earth … the rhythms of life continue. Tonight’s full moon is closer to earth … so it will appear bigger and brighter … definitely worth going outside to see … and is called a super moon. This immediately precedes the vernal equinox which happens tomorrow March 20th … and once again we welcome spring.
The essential nature of spring is “hope”. The crocus has sprouted and in a few spots … where there is no snow … has come into bloom. Although the trees are still bare the sap is beginning to flow and robins are arriving … a sure sign of spring !
I spent a lot of time outdoors today … mostly walking with Buddy … checking some of our favourite trails … watching snow melt and loving the sunshine. I also managed to photograph some of the paintings I have been creating during the snowbound days of winter.
Spring is synonymous with light … life … energy … hope … renewal. These same adjectives came to mind as I was taking photos of my acrylic pieces today … especially for two paintings … one figure painting with two rather ‘kooky’ characters heading towards the light … and an abstract full of warmth, light and energy. Here are photos of the two pieces … you are the first viewers. I welcome your comments.
Now I’m off to do some moon watching … happy Equinox to all !
