People protect what they love

Jaques Cousteau said this quote, ‘People protect what they love’ and I believe he was probably talking about the natural world. I believe this to very true and those who consciously recycle today are the people who genuinely care for the future of this beautiful planet. Bt I also see this statement ringing true for us and our dreams. We protect them sometimes to the point of suffocating and smothering them. A dream remains a dream whilst it still floats around the corridors o

Break through the wall that you built

Is there a wall in front of you? How long has it been there? We all have them in our life. Some we build ourselves, others seem to appear without us even realizing. Whether you are the kind of person that can plough your way through difficult situations or need a more ‘brick by brick’ approach, just start now removing the walls in front of you. Remember a wall is something in our mind that stops or hinders our progress in some shape or form in our lives. But they are in our m

Tumbling down the rabbit hole

We all will face a time in our lives where we are afraid of what the future will bring. It seems that suddenly there is no floor beneath us and that sick feeling we get when falling comes from the depths of our stomach. Many things in our life will cause this sensation, many moments we spin lost in confusion trying to stop the world spinning for a moment as only to gain our composure. Were we pushed or did we lead ourselves down the dark and strange path? Some, for sure, will

Bad decisions make great stories

How many times have you been with friends recounting stories about something that happened to you in the past. Do you realize that the best stories are always the ones that at the time felt like you were in a nightmare? Isn’t it the comments that you receive of “Oh my god how did you get out of that?” or “And you’re laughing about that now?” Because no matter what happened in the past you always learn from it and look at it from the entire picture of beginning (Choice), middl

True happiness is giving it away

I really like the sentiment that true happiness is giving someone else happiness. At least that is the way I see this quote. But remember those times during the day when you have put a smile on someone’s face, whether it was a major act of kindness or something more modest the feeling you get is so much more gratifying than when someone does something for you. For me there is no better feeling in the world than seeing another persons face genuinely light up with happiness. Th

Burn bright little meteor, be all you can be in your life.

Our life can be compared to a meteor. We hurtle through the vacuum of space trying to grasp an understanding of what it’s all about. We start from different positions in the cosmos that we all call home. We are created differently and start in different parts of the universe. From the beginning, we burn brightly without care or abandon as to the dangers we face. We interact with other meteors on our journey as we pass, some change our direction slightly, others can be life ch

Don’t hold back when painting the canvas of your life

Every decision in life you make is like a brush stroke on a canvas. You can be gentle and precise or chaotic and free but the result will be the same, unique. Only you can add paint to your canvas and only you choose the colours that are applied. Influences will affect your choice, but only if you let them. Not every stroke is noticeable to the external viewer but you know it is there, deep and with meaning, it has a purpose. Not every artist knows where the strokes will take

Our minds are the stairways to our dreams

Although at times our minds have the capability to play tricks on us. Guiding us Un-mercilessly into darkened corners where our fears and darkest secrets lie, it also is a place that can lead us to every dream we could imagine. Such is the power of the mind that faith in something is often more powerful than any other emotion. This is not only clear with religion, but also with people in all kinds of cultures that believe in things that are not visible to the eye. The balance

The idea of perfection is so imperfect

I, like many, have spent so much time in life trying to make everything perfect that life just slips by. As John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you are busy making plans.” It’s so true! I have ideas for paintings, books, articles, songs and so many other things but I constantly try to get everything perfect around me to create them. The truth is this is just procrastination. We use things or excuses to put things off and tomorrow never comes. I did the same for

Art in motion – Two artists, One vision.

As anyone who is a regular visitor here will know, I love to watch an artist at work. I find watching someone creating a piece of art, illustration, advertising and anything else to be just poetry in motion and very inspiring. This video of two artists called Supakitch and Koralie is just amazing to watch. It starts off a little slow, but the more you watch the more you appreciate their undoubted talent and attention to detail. Enjoy. #Koralie #illustration #Art #artistry #Pa

Comic Sans walks into a bar and the barman says, “We don’t serve your type here.”

This made me chuckle and I often think laughter can be just as powerful as an inspirational quote. In todays collection I am in love with the painting (fourth row on the left) I think it is because within all the chaos and power that each strikes obviously provides this piece of art but there is serenity in the face of the girl which makes for a captivating contrast. The minimal color palette is also something that appeals to me. I really do like this painting! The Harvey Nic
