'A FORTUNE TOLD'
Bubble, bubble, toil for trouble,
It comes mistily,
"Death is to dying as night is to day The chant it comes to tell me news of lives worth living in other shoes.
"Find the right track - the future unfolds,
She smiled a smile and faded away, Maybe other poems later ...

Drank a toast to Pro Hart on his passing ... interesting to note all the 'famous' critics had such nasty things to say about him - makes me wonder how much they will be missed! (or remembered come to think of it) It brings to mind a time when I was part of a life drawing group, and one woman got up to speak saying "of course, WE PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS, those that have proper training, blah, blah, blah...". Pro Hart as a self taught artist, proved with his success, that artists don't have to be 'professionally taught' - but can still be discriminated against by high brow establishments & their employees.
Happy Easter to one & all - plant a bulb (new life) instead of eating an Easter egg! (saves weight & gives pleasure later...)
Dave (my partner of many years) & I live in a beautiful area of Victoria, way down south on the Wilsons Promontory Peninsula, Australia, with sea, rural & mountain views. We are both (ageing) artists with a variety of interests. Dave has produced a hand drawn Map of Australia - which has been printed - A0 poster size on 180gsm gloss paper. This is a unique map that is colourful, informative and humorous. If you love maps or collect them - this is a great map for you. Check out our AussieMap, maps of australia at Our outlets at present are the Royal Flying Doctor service in Alice Springs, Northern Territory (Australia), Coast Maps & Charts at the Gold Coast in Queensland (Australia), Foster Post Office in South Gippsland & Foto First in Phillip Island Victoria (Australia). We also sell via the web ... but For some reason, I don't seem to be able to get the rating in the search engines for the site (at present in Yahoo the rating is at 192! & who looks that far!!! as for Google??? I gave up!) Is there anyone out there looking for maps of Australia that are different? Dave also does great cartoons - he has a series of little aussie animals that have comments on many issues - but I still have to get around to scanning etc...
