Ahhh I've been very busy these last few months...the time has gone so quickly! But this is what I've been working on - a solo exhibition. Inspired by my trip to Scotland (oh how I wish I could have stayed there longer!) but also by stories and myths I've read over the last year or so. It's a stunning little gallery - all old worldly wooden beams and whitewashed walls.... I just hope I have enough work to fill it! :)<br />
<br />

It is such stories that inspired me to learn the harp when I was younger :)</span></span><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 26px;">My favourite tale I've copied below...</span></span></span></i></h2>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">"Into the Woods" series, 39: The Enchanted Harp</span></h3>
<h3 class="entry-header" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 26px; margin: 1px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">A tale from Scotland's Isle of Skye relates how music first came to those lands. A poor youth found a strange instrument (a triangular harp) floating in the waves. He fished it out, set it upright, and the wind began to play the strings -- an eerie, lovely sound the like of which had never been heard. The boy could not duplicate the sound, although he tried for many long days. So obsessed did he become that his widowed mother ran to a wizard (a </span><em style="color: #333333;">dubh-sgoilear</em><span style="color: #333333;">) to beg him to give her son the skill to play the instrument -- or else to quell his desire </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;">for it. The </span><em style="color: #333333; font-size: x-small;">dubh-sgoilear</em><span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;"> offered her this choice: he would take away the boy's desire in exchange for the widow's body, or he'd give him the gift of music in exchange for her mortal soul. She chose the later and returned home where she found her son plucking beautiful, heavenly music from the strings of the harp. But the boy was horrified to learn the price his mother had paid for his skill. From that moment on, he began to play music so sad that the birds and the fish stopped to listen. And that, concludes the old Scottish tale, is why the music of the harp sounds poignant to this very day.</span></h3>

Oh dear! I admit, I've been updating my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nadia-Turner-Art/96373581294">facebook art page</a> so much more as usually it's more a quick sharing of images rather than long winded or detailed blog posts.....but detailed, magical, thought provoking posts are something I love to read myself on other peoples pages....I just cant seem to find the words myself! Ah well, I just need to do what I can do, let things flow and not put too much pressure on myself...words and ideas will come...one day...hehe :)<br />
<br />
For now, some inspiring quotes and poetry and new (ish) works that I have not shared on here as yet....<br />

<i> </i><i>Dazed they were, and scared, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>lying on the cold stones,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>their arms and legs green.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Not the dark green of ivy,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>not the yellow green of apples</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>ripe on the summer bough,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>nor the deep green of the ocean</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>where it leans against its bed.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>They were the green of leeks,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>of the new-furled feather fern,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>of the early leaf breaking soil.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When they opened their eyes,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>their eyes were green, too,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and the little hairs on their arms</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>were inchworm green.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>growing whiter each day,</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Not the white of milk</i></div>

<i>after the cream is skimmed off,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>nor the white of October snow,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>nor the white of a spring lily,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>waxen and still,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>nor the white of sea pearls</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>formed within the shell.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

"May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is children" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Rainer Maria Rilke</div>
<br />
I've been having a strange year so far... finding it difficult to start projects, and when I finally do, it's very hard to knuckle down and get the work done and not be distracted.<br />
But things have been ticking along, slowly, slowly.<br />
I feel like I have turned some sort of corner at least - I've begun writing again, something I used to love when I was in high school but something that I seem to have had a huge block about since. It's like I could never get into the right mind set, but that, thankfully has now been cracked so I hope it continues...don't know if the stories are any good but at least I'm writing!<br />
This is a very dear wish of mine - to write and illustrate my own children's books, instead of just illustrating other peoples...so we shall see...<br />
So this above is my affirmation for a while :)<br />
<br />
I've also been very much enjoying the discussions about daily "rituals of beginning" on the <a href="http://windling.typepad.com/blog/2013/04/rituals-of-beginning-3.html">Myth and Moor</a> blog - my daily rituals at the moment are not very conducive to creatively so it's something that must be worked on and there's much inspiration to be found on Terri's blog.<br />
<br />
I have many plans for the next few months - I need to work on products for my online shop, ideas and illustrations for children's books to work on, commissions to start and of course, to share more thoughts on here.<br />
<br />
For now I'll leave you with a couple of paintings I've managed to complete in the last few weeks :)<br />

So this time around a harp commissioned for a lovely lady who helps people on their own journeys in life and often on their final journey....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Excerpt from the <a href="http://harpsaustralia.com/?page_id=437">Harps Australia</a> website:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"This harp’s artwork was inspired by the work of Tina Tourin, founder of the International Harp Therapy Program (IHTP). Celtic lore associates crane knowledge as arcane wisdom and teachings. In both Eastern and Western traditions, the crane is seen as a bird that carries the soul to safety and rest, in China to “ the Western heaven” . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Celtic tradition, the soul was carried to the sacred “Isles in the West”. In European prehistory, Crane dances enacted by shamans symbolized the journey of the soul through death, incarnation and rebirth. Today, this ancient lore is enacted in the IHTP training of modern harpers to utilize music to create “a cradle of sound” to accompany and comfort individuals in life-death or crisis transitions. Nadia chose the cherry blossoms and delicate Asian style artwork as a fitting reference to the IHTP’s important work in Japan and Asia."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I hope she likes it.... :) </div>

Ah harps...what is it about them that
sparks the romantic imagination and gets the inspiration flowing?<br />
When
I was younger, I thought them the most magical of instruments and I
desperately wanted to play one. I was going through a phase where I was rather obsessed by anything Celtic...well, maybe that hasn't changed really, ha!...and I loved the idea of the roaming storytelling harper, someone who with their music could touch the otherworlds...Anyway, luckily I got my wish. One day my
parents surprised me with a visit from a harpmaker named <a href="http://www.harpsatsang.com/">Geoff Welham</a>, who had
brought along with him two beautiful harps for me to choose from.<br />
Here's me with them- the one I chose is the one I'm holding, my little darling who I'll always treasure... I think it might actually the first one he ever made as well, which to me is a nice thought...<br />
<br />

Unfortunely I havent played very much in the past few years, art kind of took over and I'm now out of the habit. But it's something that I miss very much, so I know I'll start again, and teach my poor confused fingers how to play again! After all, I can't really keep using a name like 'wayward harper' if I don't actually play the harp now can I? hehe!<br />
<br />
<br />
So, it's this project below that has lead to my recent re-awakening in my interest in harping - <br />
This is "The Journeywoman Harp". A recent colaboration between myself and <a href="http://www.harpsaustralia.com/">Harps Australia.</a><br />
And hopefully the start of something new as I'd love to continue with commissions of this sort.<br />

What I find incrediably fascinating is that the harp exists in many different forms in many cultures across the world. And being one of the oldest types of instrument it's not surprising that it's perceived as such a mythical and magical instrument. </div>

We visited the <a href="http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/alfred-nicholas-memorial-gardens-gardens-of-the-dandenongs">Alfred Nicholas Gardens</a> this morning (can't believe that it's only 5mins drive away!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A must see if your ever up in this area. My photos really don't convey the strange beauty of the place - I find it a rather beautiful but silently spooky place, the gardens are so vast and whenever we've been there rather empty of people and for some reason I find the giant vacant art-deco mansion that shares the land really quite disturbing... but really, probably just because it's so huge and so very empty at the moment.</div>

<br />
Well, it actually happened quite a while ago...October in fact, but well, I must have sloth blood running in my veins...<br />
We now live up in the Dandenong Ranges outside of Melbourne, and it's a beautiful place to be. I've finally found a place where I feel like I'm part of a community, and it's one that's also artistic, musical and creative :)<br />
<br />
We're in Belgrave, home of the magical <a href="http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/">puffing billy</a> steam train (I love hearing the train's hooting echoing across the hills) in a little cottage on the side of a hill, with a rambling garden that really needs a bit of love right about now, with fat possums in the trees (and galloping across our roof just when your on the verge of sleep..!) ancient sounding white and black cockatoos, echidnas in the gully's and platypus's in the creeks (well, I hope so..) and if recent reports can be believed, a black puma or two roaming the hills, eep!<br />
But really rather delightful!<br />

I also want to say a huge thank you to all you beautiful people who bought works from the exhibition - you are wonderful, wonderful people! thank you!<br />
Over the next few posts I'm going to share some of the work from the show. Some of these works will be (hopefully soon!) available as lovely limited edition giclee prints- when that happens I'll let you know.<br />
