The ten paintings that follow are abstract 'mood' pieces created using a technique which combines meditation with art therapy. Some are interpretations of thought processes (Introversion, Melancholia), some are inspired by natural forces focused upon during the actual meditation (Waterfall, Cloudburst), others are simply the result of an over-active imagination (Apocalypse, Doppelganger). All represent positive expression born of negative states of mind. This process is enhanced by the predominant use of the colour blue which is renowned for it's calming influence and soothing theraputic properties - benefits which I hope are passed on to you the viewer! </font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Art prints and postcard sets of the ten paintings are available. Profits will go towards the Eastside Art Collective's Gallery 21 project for aspiring artists, writers and performers in the Greater London area which is due to be launched officially in October 2000. So, if you like what you see here, please place an order for some art prints and visit the preview version of the Gallery 21 on-line arts space which features a wealth of creativity by aspiring artists using a wide range of artistic media. A link to the Gallery 21 web site can be found on the page displayed after submitting your print order form.<br> <br> Enjoy the exhibition!</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Regards</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Phil Hession</font> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr width="650"> </div> <div align="center"> <table width="650" border="0"> <tr> <td width="230" valign="baseline"> <p><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="exhibs/stewpot/thumb_gallery.htm"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Paintings</font></a></font></b><font color="#000000" size="2"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF"> </font></b></font><font size="2"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="exhibs/stewpot/guest_book.htm"><font color="#999999">Guest Book</font></a></font></b><font color="#000000"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF"> </font></b></font><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="exhibs/stewpot/guests_comments.html"><font color="#FFFFFF">Send Comments</font></a></font></b><font color="#000000"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF"> </font></b></font><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="exhibs/stewpot/prints_orderform.html"><font color="#999999">Order Art Prints</font></a></font></b></font></p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <p> </p> </body>
