House Flooded in Brisbane Floods

Hi Folks, You may be wondering why I have not posted any art work on my blog in the last month.  My wife and I are victims of the flooding that has affected many people in Brisbane these last 3 / 4 weeks.  I will be posting some pictures of our street to show the extent of the damage that muddy stinking water, soaking everything in your home can do!  We lost about 70% of our stuff.  I managed to save all my art works! My wife and I did lose some treasures and we are trying to get our life back together again.  We are still better off than some people who have lost loved ones, and all their possessions. We have been blessed with the help of total strangers and we still are getting help from folk who have appeared from 'nowwhere'.  Bless them all!!!  We also thank all the concern, prayers and support for us from friends and family!

  1. hello Paul, hello Jo,
    I am so happy you are safe now, of course you lost so many things with the floods, but you are in a safe place. I followed all you wrote on facebook, and today I found out your blog and the story of your painting art. Do you know I started again painting since 2006? Although I was working in oil when I was young, acrylics is my favorite now. My favorite painter is Monet too.
    I hope you are going well now, I wish you a great year 2011, thanks to God, better and safe
