Iris and her art

Untitled
Iris Appleyard, undated |
(1987)
Discovered on a garden bank, discarded after winters pruning – a bud, dark red, deep folded – brought unexpectedly within the house and planted in a tall glass holder.
Who knows, by chance, it yet may bloom, even now in cold of winter, here within this room.
A day or so and slowly now, unfolding in a bower of crimson, dark, yet lifting to the light – exquisite, rare fulfilment amazing to behold and more –
the double pleasure, such fragrance in the winter of a rose

If I was a bird I’d be flying across the green valley towards the sea; If I was a parrot I’d be pecking seeds from the sun flowers, flashing green-blue wings in my haste and sharing the cool morning breeze with all who live in Paradise here in City Beach

A wave is rippling through the sea-weed – cleansing, releasing the tangles,
till the flow of the ocean is clear and the rhythm of the whole is in harmony with life’s purpose, We are part of this process – essential to the health of the world as a whole. Come together all people be part of life’s unity so that heavenly harmony brings us together in the unity of love.

Memory Loss (2000)
As we age our body and mind change – This process happens – It is part of growing old. When this happens be sure to rest and relax so that there is time for revival. Breathing is important re circulation. Walking helps. Take time to adjust, relax and keep on with positive action, i.e., art. Wipe out negative attitude, Tune in to positive, Breathe it.
