1.0 Welcome
As usual, my newsletter is coming out a little delayed; however, I am making up for it with some interesting video and the latest artwork straight from the easel. Thank you all for being here with me.
A warm welcome to a new member, Kate. Glad to have you here, and as luck would have it, my latest YouTube video is of my second painting at Buckfast Abbey.
2.0 Artwork W.I.P
I recently started to work on an artwork-themed idea titled “Essence of Nature.” I have been creating abstract backgrounds, creating energetic layers overlaid with a natural creature whose existence or habitat is currently threatened. Here is the first finished painting, Polar Bear – Essence of Nature, an Abstract Essentialism artwork.

3.0 Artwork Celestial Timepiece Part 2
Orion Nebula (2:00): Representation: Represents the second hour. Explanation: The Orion Nebula is a vibrant stellar
nursery. Its representation at the second hour symbolizes the continuation of celestial processes and the birth of new stars.
Quasar (3:00): Representation: Represents the third hour. Explanation: Quasars are extremely luminous and energetic centres of distant galaxies. At the third hour, they symbolize a burst of energy and activity in the celestial realm.
