I wander through the dusty streets of Mandalay
Near where the dirty Erwaddy River does flow
And on each human face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
(Inspired by William Blake

I find some satisfaction in the act of attempting to express my experience of life through painting, writing, language and other art forms. I have been painting for over thirty five years and combine my love of art with a meditative and contemplative way of life. I have an intuitive sense that true creativity is something that arises from beyond and through Qthe self that can be explored and shared through some form of expression although I always hope to open to the influence of that which is beyond my limited sense of self.

That’s William Blake. Robert Blake was a really cool actor who unfortunately ended up murdering someone. Anyway, great photos, and I love the reference to one of my favourite poems. I even quote from it on the blurb of my book How to Be Free.

I am reading Colin Wilsons the Outsider. You have probably read it but if not have a look. Itts excellent. He writes about William Blake amongst other outsiders.
