I have become a bit obsessed with bees. When my family and I go for walks we spend a lot of time watching the busy bees doing their thing. They are amazing and without realising we actually rely on them for survival, but we walk past them, everyday doing their work. Thank you God for the busy bees.
I will be doing a mini series of these busy bees. 4 minis and one 76 x 76 cm.

This is a part of my splatter paint series, painting these is pure joy: I literally throw paint on the canvas and then paint what the painting shows me.
For this particular piece I thought this was a time we all need a bit of peace, to be reminded about what matters in life, and to just breathe.
When I am stressed the first thing I do is to go for a walk and connect with my family and nature. Recently there has been an influx of butterflies and ladybugs, and it has been a wonderful reminder to see the small things which bring us joy: these are hidden amongst the painting.

Too Much (Lego figures included)?I know I can be too much.Sometimes I feel too much, cry too much, think too much, worry too much, talk too much, hurt too much.I know this painting is too much, but do you know what…it was really fun to paint, to play, to include Lego figures, to cause it to be too much.Sometimes I don’t like being me, because of my “too much”.But God has made me an open book for a reason 
I also care too much and love to much, so it ain’t all bad.
This artwork is framed (lovingly made by me) in a painted white Tasmanian oak floating frame.

As an artist I long to please, to have others like what I do, to value it, to be accepted; but this isn’t always good for the soul. Sometimes we must create with no one else in mind, but to paint what is in our soul, without caring if it is liked, valued or accepted. To be purely free to be me…letting go of the expectations of others is good for the soul.
I Don’t Care: because I care too much.
Since finishing this painting I have added to it. I was watching a cockatoo, while on my morning walk and was struck by their audacity. They have this amazing care free attitude that I thought perhaps I could learn from. This one on this particular day, it was covered in mud, and it was having a feed on the nature strip and totally living its best life. It didn’t care less about me, I walked quite close to it and it just one about its breakfast, keeping a vague eye on me, but really not to bothered by my interest in it, definitely not bothered by it being covered in mud. Maybe I could learn something from the audacious cockies.

I have always loved Dr Seuss, but only as an adult have I really appreciated the depth and profound nature of his writings.
As I was painting the beautiful wattle, I was reminded of The Lorax, and the beautiful truffler trees (before they were cut down).
How lucky are we to be surrounded by such beauty. It is breathtaking to see the diversity around us; even amongst such an unforgiving environment in Australia.

I am so grateful, for all that covers the chaos, that reminds me of joy and beauty.
I am grateful for the small gifts from friends and family (like these lavender and wattle) that make each day pass more easily.

This crabapple was planted by the council and is so annoying, it completely blocks the path, so often you either have to walk on the road to get past it or you get slapped by it as you wheedle past. But it is so breathtakingly beautiful when it flowers. It is funny how sometimes we need these things that may seem cumbersome and in the way to literally stop us in our tracks and appreciate life.https://kimneil.gallery/2021/08/13/the-crabapple-path-edition-print/

But as winter passes, so do dark nights of the soul.
These barren times where the trees are naked of life and leaves and maybe you begin to despair; but then slowly tiny buds start to develop, small and hidden. Then more time passes and one courageous bud bursts through to show you life, to show you that ALL seasons change. The winter passes and the dark nights of the soul pass too.

Have you ever noticed the first buds appear? Everything looks bleak and then slowly emerge the buds…then one or two courageous buds emerge into flowers before the rest.
I feel like sometimes it takes courage to be the first: the first to see the weather changing, first to see the season changing, first to see hope.
But after a few buds courageously transform themselves, slowly, slowly, the rest join them.
How can we be conveyors of life, or hope and of the changing season?

During this period of isolation there have been some lovely moments. My favourite thing, has been walking with my family. Each day, rain or shine, we have gone walking or cycling and I have loved it (accept the cycling, I am the lady almost falling off regularly).
During these times the kids have discovered the joy in photography, so while we walk we take interesting pictures along the way. It has brought a new observance of my surroundings that I didn’t have before. Right up the road we discovered these beautiful flowering gums. They were so breathtaking in their complexity and beauty. While it is difficult to capture what true beauty the possess it was fun (and time consuming) to try.
