Under Down Under
The Man has recently come back from the Land of the Long White Cloud, where six is sux, and sheep are plentiful.
It was bitterly cold, but the natives don’t seem to mind.
Another weekend laid to rest - had great plans to get lots accomplished, but a head that was exploding by Saturday afternoon put paid to that.
I did get to the Arts society meeting Sat morning, and a couple of galleries, but that was about it. Listened to two great talks - one by a photographer friend, on how to take “proper” photos of your artwork for submissions to galleries/competitions (eg: getting rid of ”barrel” effect). The other talk was by a very inspirational fellow - came to art late in life at 42, and is doing incredible things now. He spends 4 months in NZ, and the rest of the year in Cairns living out his dream. What a life!
Both of these people are “older’, (but not by much!), and are now following their passions, after doing the corporate gig thing for a long time.
The moral of the story?
It’s NEVER ever too late.
