There's a Place For Us

All new paintings, some drawing and print-making by Gary Goodman, centering on the South Downs, other recent journeys and the idea of Mother Nature and the Goddess.

“There’s a place for us somewhere a place for us, peace and quiet and open air wait for us somewhere” Walking on the Sussex Downs with special people, mooching through ancient woodland; memories, dreams and fantasies. Feeling the sun, tasting the breeze – finding that rare and memorable place. 

There is a sub-theme too: the Goddess, the Good Witch, Mother Nature, Mother Earth, the Garden of Eden the landscape and nature as our religion. The song goes on to say, “We’ll find a new way of living…” we can do, by opening our hearts, sitting under a tree alone or with a loved one, looking at a beautiful view, listening to the wind blow through the grass and the trees; and also by sensing the warm blood of a living being running through their veins. “Hold my hand and I’ll take you there” lyric: Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story)
