Advanced Icon Painting Workshop in Melbourne

In January 2015 I attended the Advanced Icon Painting Workshop in Melbourne Australia conducted by Philip Davydov. I was a wonderful experience. I learnt so much with Philip's method of teaching and nurturing each one of us.

St Clement's Retreat and Conference Centre, Galong NSW. Eat, Paint, Pray

We had a wonderful weekend at St Clement's Galong.

Nine people join me and we prayed together, ate together and painted together.

It was inspiring being with other like minded people. Painting, talking, sharing and having fun doing what we are passionate about - painting.

We had peaceful pauses for quiet and space with the Lord.

 I loved standing by the fish pond, listening to the fountain trickling - and recalled the scripture - Deep Calls to Deep. The Lord was calling to me to rest on Him

my Rock,

my hiding place,

my shelter from the storm.

Peace and Joy be with you always.

Beautiful Sydney Harbour with Opera House

Romeo and Juliette, Sydney Library

There is nothing quite as beautiful as Sydney Harbour on a clear blue day.
It is easy to travel around Sydney by train.
The State Library of New South Wales is in the heart of the city, this beautiful statue dedicated to Shakespeare is in the front forecourt.

Rafferty's Resort, Lake Macquarie

Rafferty's Resort, Lake Macquarie

We have spent a beautiful week at Rafferty's Resort, Lake Macquarie.

It is a great place from which to explore the Hunter Valley Vineyards and surrounding area.

This Pelican is a magnificent bird. He and a dozen others enjoy a pampered life here.

They are fed daily, which is quite a spectacle.

Sunset is gently beautiful over the Lake.
