Hi! I hope that you have had a good Summer Antosa has been busy My 'Silent Love Art' has been inspired by my love of the Ocean.

My home in Kenya Kurwitu Beach Vipingo on the shores of the Indian Ocean  inspired my yet to be published 5th childrens book 'Enchantment'  the Indian Oceans amazing Azure blue tones which blend into iridescent  shades of torquoise blue ahhh! pure bliss:)

Right:Lapis Lazuli

Well Antosa has been ispired again to use the colours of the beautiful Oceans for my latest 21st Century Illuminated 'Golden Azure Summer Phi'! hand Painted Toile Cire'e

My choice of paints colours mixes etc and my research has led me to one of the oldest pigments used in Art lapis lazuli: a piece of heaven on earth!

It was so prized by ancient peoples of the Middle East that it was known as "blue gold"

so I am delighted to incorporate the lustre of Lapis Lazuli into my latest Illuminated summer art work.

I thought you would enjoy a trip with me to the bottom of the sea! as I bob along!

enjoy!
