New Orchestra

We're forming a new orchestra - The Hastings Sinfonia inspired by Polo Piatti. We're still looking for musicians so if you are a musician living in Hastings, UK or anywhere nearby, have a look at the website and get in touch with us.

Henry's Woman in Leeds

I've been in love with Henry Moore's Reclining Woman - the one who lolls about in front of Leeds Art Gallery for a few years now. I'm busy painting impressions of her for the Tonic Gallery show with Phil Spellacy in July. One thing Dai taught me that I am understanding more and more - the direction of brushstrokes is crucial - every brushstroke matters.

SKIPPING WITH BACON

I'm really looking forward to visiting the art show from Skipping with Bacon who are a group of Leeds University art students. It opens on Wednesday April 21st and runs until May 4th.

Eser Afacan

The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. - Atisha
