16.01.2022 Giles was introduced to Mackenzie by his mother who noticed her daughters preoccupation with painting and had set her up with an easel at home. After a couple o...f sessions with Giles, Mackenzie soon moved on to exhibition quality paints and canvases that were almost as tall as she was. Giles is so enthused about her work he now has her exhibiting at his High St gallery in Fremantle. What was unexpected for Giles was how Mackenzie has come to influence his own painting practice. When I saw her painting said Giles it showed me the pure joy and delight that children can have when they are being creative. Watching her work is very inspirational and has given me a new impetus to create paintings from that space of the vision of the child, a series I have called Childs Play." Mackenzies painting Bread is currently displayed at Giles High St Gallery alongside Giles painting Childs Play 1: After Mackenzie Summers. To go on Mackenzies buyers list contact David at [email protected] See more

07.01.2022 "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.... "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I dont think I do." "Thats okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often dont feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know youve got someone there for you. And Ill always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." Sending our thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you Original source unknown.
