If you Google the definition of ART, this is what pops up in the number one spot.
The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture,…: “the art of the Renaissance”
I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

Love the non-matching rear…fenders? Wheel covers? Those blue things covered with patterns, anyhow.
Go for it! I’ll have to post a VW bug I captured the other day. Bright pink, flowers, the works! I’ll be waiting to see what you’ve done. I’m counting on you. 🙂
Can relate to that! When I discovered my water lily had a bud there was a droplet of dew sliding off the tip of a leaf nearby and was amazed that I managed to capture it!
This one looks rather wickedly painted to me Jo
and has a bit of everything added, but even though
it has an unusual blend of artistic ideas, i still kind
of like it don’t you my great friend? 🙂 😉 lol
Hey I have a treat waiting for you on my leading page, well not just for you but I am sure that you will enjoy your Space hopping 🙂 Catch you soon Jo 😉
