The twin falls on Venford Brook.
With no decent weather forecast for the weekend and, needing an excuse to escape from a mothers and babies morning at home, I headed for Venford Brook to capture the falls. This has been photographed to death by all and sundry, but not by me yet so I felt I needed to have a go.
It is a wonderful little place and I spent a good 90 minutes trying different compos. This is the first of a little series I might post.
Flow is an Android custom who was commissioned by an Android collector. The collector allowed me to have free-range of whatever I wanted to do with this custom. As an artist, having free-range is wonderful, however I wanted to create something with a specific theme. I wanted it to have meaning. I named this custom ‘flow’ and gave him a water theme, and I will explain why….
As my time here in Spain is coming to an end (I finished my 8-month contract last week), I thought about my experiences and what has lead me to this moment. My career choice is different than the average person because I don’t know what country I’ll be living in next year, where I’ll be working, or who I will meet. It can be very stressful for someone who is used to (and relies on) stability. As much as it is very exciting, it takes time to get used to the rhythm of this lifestyle. There are blissful moments and moments when I feel like my world is caving in. I have learned a lot of things, but one of the best lessons I’ve learned is it is important to be like water and go with the flow. Life will present many obstacles, challenges and also opportunities. It is important to fight for what you want, but it is equally as important to let things go, and see what surprises life has in store.
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
– Bruce Lee
Freely flowing your creativity as you create from the heart.
When you let go of worries and doubts, you free your own unique energy.
From being closed, you will be open.
With even get everything that you carried out in
thousands of happy and fun shapes.
Freedom of movement is when you create from your true self. Wise results. :)

Mississauga Arts Council (MAC) and Port Credit BIA are excited to announce the unveiling of the LCBO Port Credit Mural Project. This is a brand-new 486 square foot, six-panel mural located in the heart of downtown Port Credit on the west wall of the LCBO Port Credit (200 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga ON).
The unveiling will take place on Friday, June 17th, 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM (weather permitting) at the LCBO Port Credit located at 200 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga, ON.
“The Port Credit Mural Project is an affirmation and affection of the local business and the community voices to communicate the Port Credit story and celebrate life through art. This is an example of the start of something that will be expanded throughout the community.” says Port Credit Community Foundation’s Karen Priest.
The mural highlights the culture and community of Port Credit and showcases original artwork by six local visual artists: Ashley Beerdat (Future in Abstract), Veronika Benjamin (Artist in Studio), Carla Gonzalez-Casanova (Meet Me Where The Music Flows), Lynn Taylor (Creation Story With Sky Woman), Yen Linh Thai (Freshly Picked), and Ray Vidal (Where Land Meets Water).
“The artists involved in this project are all local Mississauga-based artists, each actively contributing to the community in Port Credit.” says Jacqueline Mak, MAC’s Creative Director & Strategist, “Each piece of artwork was carefully curated to resonate with Port Credit community, celebrating the rich diversity, history and stories told by this vibrant neighborhood. This mural will be a strong addition to the LCBO’s already lively parking lot where events and festivities are held regularly.”
“This is a very special occasion, as this project has been in the works for quite some time and has now come to fruition!” says Ward 1 Councilor, Stephen Dasko, “The Port Credit Mural Project at the LCBO is just the beginning of a fantastic display of opportunities for our local Mississauga Artists.
