This is the last in the series of poured paintings, another abstract piece. When I created this I imagined looking at another planet from the point of view of a satellite. I immediately saw an earthly terrain with mountains, valleys and rivers. Then I had a thought, "what if I added gold leaf to it?" It ended up looking like mountains of gold, the kind you hear about in stories from the Incas and Aztecs. Can you imagine a world where you decide to go for a walk among the mountains of gold.

Anyway, getting off the subject for a while, I watched a lecture on spirituality today and was given a pearl of wisdom which I really wanted to share with you. Tibetan monks often meditate for long periods of time to further their spiritual development. I discovered that they are told to visualise the universe as a mirror and then to meditate on it. Just think about that for a minute. When we look in the mirror we see ourselves, so if the universe is a mirror then everything you look at is you. Bearing this in mind how would you treat your environment and all living things including the human and animal population within it, just something to think about.
I will leave you on this note, have a lovely week.
