Creativity

When I returned from Austin on the weekend there was an envelope table. It contained a photo of my father's latest concrete creation. Recently he moulded concrete in the shape and texture of leaves. Now, instead of hauling around his heavy creations he takes photos. I found his photo quite striking and is an art form itself.

This made me think of how talented my family is. My father, in addition to his concrete sculptures also loves to paint and do wood projects. His father before him loved painting in oil.





My mother was a noted photographer also enjoyed folk art often recycling random items beautifully into her garden. Her father was an actor and author of plays.













Creativity continues with my daughter. She is a talented, award-winning hair stylist for a living and enjoys all the beautiful things her grandparents love and practise their influences in painting and photography.
