Yes, Julia, growing up in your father's shadow must have been so nerve-racking for you...especially in art school. People pre-judging your motives and thought processes, watching for every little slip or not supporting a success. I can only imagin...
Phew, just reading and caught up on this-good onya Dan-this is like a sacred group, built on trust with a heap of support from everyone-it's great you have the integrity to keep it that way hugs
Back again guys n gals-it's been a busy but pretty gratifying week, so in my abscence I haven't been totally immersed in last weeks mood swings and depression! Thanks for bearing with me, as you always have... hugs
I've been pretty productively c...
Hi Julia! Nice to see you out and about :-)
The lily pictures are wonderful. I really like 'electrifying'...looks like a bird is rising up out of the flower.
About what you just said about hoping it will help...It will. IF he wants it to. What I ...
What gorgeous photographs here. They are simply **magical** Wishing you a wonderfully creative month and happy Spring!
Julia, You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Julia, After seeing your father's work, I have to ask...Do you ever do any drawing?
Just wondering
Nice one Dan-a lovely way to think of it :-)
LOL-Thanks for the timely reminder DJ-I seem to be so up and down at the moment-looking forward to John going in to rehab on 23 November-his health is deteriorating because of the copious daily port intake-I really do hope this will help him...
I...
Wow!
Your father really had a hand for detail, Julia!
These are wonderfully done; I know you're proud of them.
By the way, usually, artistic talent runs in the blood, kid. Remember that.
So, get busy. :-)
Buckingham Palace, 1946-watercolor sketch
I'm thinking of starting a tribute page of my late dad's works here-would that be appropriate Dan? It's a part of the journey I have been landed with-heaven or hell-time will tell...
Here's one being resurrected at the moment-feedback please :-)
...
I thought I would be off to a fine start this month, but it is full of stress and hassles-you may not get much from me, but I'm here, trying to fathom through the depths of my depression-and somehow keep in touch with my creativity-at the moment, ...
Now this is a musical symphony of color and form! The colors sing together-what a happy place to be!
Wow! Nice work-have you used a palette knife in this? There is a great energy and sense of movement, and I'm really enjoying the soft muted mistiness of the background against the textural and solid quality of the rocks-looking forward to seeing m...
Julia,
I'd love to see you at my place as I am not so good traveling in the city. Bit overwhelming. Hope to see you when you are able.

MY VENTING PLACE OF THIS AND THAT...
When my friend Annie died in March, it was the beginning of a season of grief and inner fear-fear I guess because of my own cancer scare, and astonishment that Annie, who was so vital, and seemingly fit and well, suddenly died before we could blink!-it knocked me about-so many young deaths this year...
So I need a place to vent, to think, to sort out the random order of happenings in my life=a place to put my 'down' poems, a nest to feel at peace in...

ART SCHOOL DAYS...1995-'96
I have decided to post my art school journal on here so that I will have a hard copy record!
Not sure how it will work out yet as I am trying to scan print using omnipage, and pics with PS, so we will see what happens....
So here the story begins on Art School days...
My initial journey into the world of art goes back many years to my earliest recollections. As a child, my life was surrounded by artists and art, paintings and parties, actors and actresses, plays and rehearsals, musicians and… Continue

Starting Out...
Well this is the first time I have ever written a blog, so will start with baby steps and add to it as I go....
Firstly a few brief notes on my background...
I'm an Australian visual artist, musician, and writer, who, by good fortune of birth and parentage, was brought up in an often zany and creative home.
The main influence over my lifetime has been my late father, Geoffrey Mainwaring, an Australian second world war artist who has shared his love of people, art, and nature with all who expr… Continue

Hi there Julia! A late reply on my part, but not without love and blessings: This is reposted from our other discussion on the looking glass photos...just want you to know I did not forget ya!
THe Glassy blues piece intrigues me you left me is really divine!
! I love the feel of that flower forcing it's growth through glass! I see vases, and buds and blue and long diagonal strips of luminous glass!
Did you take photos and blend them all together? or did ya take one image and photoshop it! This is awesome! It is tactile and painterly! It begs to be felt with the fingers, alluring aromas come to mind!
The words, so fitting and beautiful! Thank you for this treasure, Julia!
Love and hugs from Dabs

Fiona Kelly said… - Dear Julia, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I keep track of all the threads pretty often over in the Julia Cameron Reader's group though I'm not doing the program at the moment myself. I still have such a kindred link to her books that I feel compelled to see how others are doing. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. You are in my thoughts! *hug*
