add a little sun

Years ago I regularly travelled to Bermuda. I accidentally found a niche there with my artwork. Sudie Curtice and Amanda Outerbridge at Windjammer Gallery happily sold my watercolours there for 17 years. Sadly, my patron and gallery owner, Sudie, passed away and after a while, the gallery closed. I think of those … Read More

the air I breathe

I love this time of year. When the shackles of winter are removed. When winter’s icy veil is lifted from our eyes life can renew itself. Going past the front door requires no coat, no mitts, no scarf, sigh. Green creeps into view slowly at first, then jogs along at a clip, like … Read More

Bermuda

Wandering I lift my head and open my eyes. My second-hand camera hangs heavily around my neck. I walk, setting out in a direction that matters not. I will find my muse, she awaits me just up ahead. I follow the warmth of Bermuda’s winter light, well below the 49th parallel. This … Read More

Viridian

Phillips-Curran — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 14:47:00 +0000

Everywhere I look, there is that colour, viridian. It is used extensively in maritime areas all over the word. Its a much loved, old fashioned colour here in Bermuda too. All of Bermuda is maritime, it is a small country, an island, (or rather, a series of connected islands) situated mid altantic. … Read More

morning

Phillips-Curran — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:22:00 +0000

The kiskadee sounds his morning wake-up call and the sun’s eastern rays begin their journey towards me. My window here faces north so the morning light traverses across the rooflines just outside the window. They highlight the neighbour’s stepped roof. Each morning, the light is slightly different and I awaken, eager to see … Read More

Almost gone

Phillips-Curran — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:07:00 +0000

My Bermuda days are numbered once more. It will be such sweet sorrow to leave, it’s a second home to me. The weather has been varied, and well, divine as far as I am concerned, moist, windy, sunny. I spent some of yesterday afternoon picking loquats off a tree while waiting for … Read More

bermuda light

Bermudifulllll The transition from the cold blue light of a Canadian winter to the warm yellow light of Bermuda is, well, heartwarming. For me, Bermuda is all about the light. It is a palette of warmth. I use my cool blue for contrast, to accentuate the warmth. I am indeed enchanted by … Read More
