THE SEA by Shirley Fudge

THE  SEA   by  Shirley Fudge Gentle lulling of the sea, Once again you beckon me. Caressing waves upon the shore Transporting me to years of yore. As a child, your charm I sought, Protecting me from battles fought. Upon your craggy cliff I sat To gaze in awe and wonder at The magic of your shimmering tide That restored ease and peace inside.

PAINTING by the artist Kal Gajoum

Kal Gajoum was born in Tripoli 1968. His interest in art was sparked at a very early age. In fact, he was only ten years old when he entered his first art competition. Later on he was introduced to oil painting and palette knife techniques by friend of the family who were artist in attendance at the Leonardo da Vinci school of art in Rome.

He held his first exhibition in 1983 in Tripoli.

He moved to Paris to learn watercolour techniques and the Parisian style of painting from a private artist. Then returned to Tripoli in 1992 to give an exhibition.

In Malta he spent his time as a professional artist where he spent seven years working for the Royal Fine Art Gallery and also during this time continuing his pursuit of artistic knowledge. He traveled to Tunisia during this time to give exhibitions.

In 2000 Kal found himself in Britain where he ran the Center Of Britain Art Gallery.

He started a permanent exhibition in the City Of Carlisle where he steadily developed his palette knife techniques and put together a set of four limited edition watercolour prints of the city. Which he sold with the proceeds going to a local charity.

2003 Kal immigrated to Canada where he now resides in British Columbia, Quebec and France. He now concentrates on cityscapes and still life’s using his palette knife techniques in oil on canvas.

YOUR NAME by Jessica Blade

YOUR NAME  by  Jessica Blade  I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.

NEVER HAVE I FALLEN Rex A. Williams

NEVER HAVE I FALLEN  Rex A. Williams  Your lips speak soft sweetness Your touch a cool caress I am lost in your magic My heart beats within your chest I think of you each morning And dream of you each night I think of your arms being around me And cannot express my delight Never have I fallen But I am quickly on my way You hold a heart in your hands That has never before been given away
