RAEWYN CONNING
PROUD CITIZEN OF AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND
My latest paintings are in Latest Works Gallery.
However it appears that Yahoo is about to rid itself of the 'free sites' options (which this is) so I am in the process of finding a new web host.
I will be back with my new website address as soon as I have one.
I will not be adding anymore paintings to this site. I do have a few of my artworks for display and sale on a NZ site:
Vitual Gallery NZ
Some births were more difficult than others- some were conceived in the early hours of the morning before my ego re-attached itself-, inspiration from the in-between world-
some kept me focussed when the world around me raged-
and others simply expressed what I found too painful or difficult to put into words.
I do not exist within the Elite Art Scene, in fact any Art Scene, because they do not exist for me.
I exist for myself.
To thine own self be true.
Winding it's way through all of my creations is the story of a journey so complex it cannot be told in a lifetime.-but you will get glimpses of it.
There is magic there too. A spiritual connection that grew as I did.
A simple explanation follows each picture, but it is only a simple one.
The idea of this site is a simple one too.
It is my chance to express what I have felt, what I feel and what I see with my mind's eye.
I have paintings not yet born and others not yet conceived.
In " The Nursery " you can discover the creative process in action as described by me on a weekly basis.
If I feel really brave I may even expose paintings while they are still in the 'Womb', developing.
( With the aid of 'ultra-scan'.)
Salvidor Dali reigns supreme in my creative world. His technique is what I model my own on.
But I have only a speck of his superb talent. He was a true genius in many aspects of his life.
I dedicate this site to him and all the outrageous individuals who push the boundaries of acceptance, who dare to be themselves and who have inspired me to this moment..
You will see one or two of them here as well.
This story is not about ART.
This story is about life.
About the magic that surrounds every one of us if only we care to see.
These are not all of my creations, just a small selection.
As I get more time, in between paintings, I will add more pages.
Welcome to my mansion.
