I love the way you paint, the way you see things and recreate them. I always feel my conciousness stretching when I look at your paintings and it feels very good! I guess this is what it is to be an artist, and you are very much a very special one.
Wow, this one is so loose and amazing-- the paint really speaks volumes for itself, you don't have to add much to it. Do you find yourself painting in these light washes very often?
Your work has such depth. It calls to us, because it opens doors and makes us climbs "those" stairs to attics never visited but where magic in our lives lies hidden tied with soul strings...
I am enthralled with your work and so happy to have found your site. Your site is truly inspirational. It opens up the things that we usually try to keep shadowed. Thank you for sharing!
Do you mind if I list you as a link on my blog? No need for you to reciprocate.
Rima Staines is an artist using paint, wood, word, music, animation, clock-making, puppetry & story to attempt to build a gate through the hedge that grows along the boundary between this world & that. Her gate-building has been a lifelong pursuit, & she hopes to have perhaps propped aside even one spiked loop of bramble (leaving a chink just big enough for a mud-kneeling, trusting eye to glimpse the beauty there beyond), before she goes through herself.
Always stubborn about living the things that make her heart sing, Rima has lived on wheels a few times in her life. She's currently rooted in mossy South Devon, halfway between moor and sea.
Rima’s inspirations include the world & language of folktale; faces of people who pass her on the street; folk music & art of Old Europe & beyond; peasant & nomadic living; magics of every feather; wilderness & plant-lore; the margins of thought, experience, community & spirituality; & the beauty in otherness.
Crumbs fall from Rima’s threadbare coat pockets as she travels, & can be found collected here, where you may join the caravan.

I love this. I love the idea and the pencil-inky-watery-ness of it too :o) x

This immediately brings to mind a quote from Bob Dylan:
He took dead-center aim
but he missed just the same
she was waiting,
putting flowers on the shelf.
She could feel my despair
as I climbed up her hair
and discovered her invisible self.
