About The Artwork

Old MOon Shine. .......I recall the night. Palm Springs California. Late August and the heat is intense like the intensity of a 400 degree oven door being swung open and an inferno hitting you right in the face I'm sitting gazing into the wilderness on my friends porch. Lizards climb the walls in their usual sleekness and the mosquito's the size of golf balls are getting into a frenzy sucking on my delicious blood. I'm balancing a glass of moonshine in one hand and a bucket of ice in the other to cool by sweating body in the 90 degree inferno. Not one for shyness i strip off down to my underwear and lean against the porch steps listening to my friend playing the blues. The night sky is a picture of radiant colors and an eerie stillness that could make anything possible. Stars are ablaze and the universes are creating anarchy. The moon is full and pale in silvery wonder commanding attention. After my three glass of moonshine I'm starting to see amazing objects appearing in the sky. and unaware there is bigger surprises ahead i and getting to comfortable in the bubble we live in called planet earth and need to expand my mind and open my third eye. Shooting stars dart and maneuver their way across the night sky and always take my breath away. Suddenly i see the lights beaming from what looks like a small craft maneuvering its way between the stars like a game of chess. First to the left then to the right. Convinced this is no shooting star its like nothing Ive ever seen before and grey in appearance. then it just hovers and lingers and observes. I call excitedly to my friend Dex and he appears dazed and confused from to much moon shine. As as we both gaze in excitement absolutely amazed at what we are witnessing i just am to speechless to say a word. Then as quickly as it appears its gone, first darting off to the left then disappearing into the night sky. inspired, exited and unable to sleep i pull out my brushes and paints and prepare a new canvas. my imagination runs wild and into the early hours i paint as Old MOon Shine comes alive before my eyes. The tequila flows and so does my creativity. I'm blown away at the fact Ive just witnessed a U.f.O visitation and i feel privileged it chose me and Dex to see it. Dawn breaks and so does a beautiful sunrise of turquoise and orange and the sky is on fire once again as a blackbird sings obsessively in a nearby tree.. Ive been working on Old MOon Shine all night long and its almost finished. I'm inspired by the results. Its beautiful, just awesome. Every time i look at it i will remember my incredible experience and it will keep the memory of last night alive. I named the craft old moonshine. It comes alive in the painting and the universe of stars and lights and alien visitations in the painting. i hope it relight your fire the way it does mine. One thing I'm convinced about that nobody can convince me otherwise. There is so much more out there that hasent been discovered or we cant see. So many different universes and dimensions and we are not the only planet that holds life form and Old mOon Shine is proof of that. Written by me, Carmen Bonnici.

Born from Italian / Maltese mother / Irish / English father. My spirit is like the wind and oceans combined. It is wild and free and without chains. My heart is soft and open to love with immense sensitivity and compassion and at times it is full of wild uncontrollable passion for things and people i believe in and love... My character is extremely complex and it would take a lifetime to understand me. I am very strong willed, stubborn and determined.I am also very funny and imaginative and creative. Art came into my life after an extremely tragic traumatic event happened in my life back in 2002. I did not find art , it found me. It saved my life without exaggeration. It helped me heal my broken heart , I had never picked up a brush in my life before this terrible nightmare unfolded but i had always had a creative soul within me that was waiting to be released. I had an extraordinary childhood. Born in Scotland's wild mountains on the west coast. Age two sailed on an ocean liner to western Australia where life was gold coast territory and remote Islands in in Indian ocean. Living in the bush whilst my father worked down the gold mines was full of colors, wilderness and exotic wildlife..On the islands experiencing every beautiful sea-life imaginable. Early teenage years took me back to Scotland and i desperatly wanted my old life back. I became a lonely isolated child that withdrew from humans and found solitude in nature and animals and their unconditional love. Teenage years were spent on my fathers huge forestry plantation and beautiful as it was i longed for escapism and freedom. My father was an evil tyrant that had every evil gene born into hes black heart and he made my life a tortured hell on earth. At age twenty i boarded a bus and with five pounds in my pocket headed for London to escape my father believing the streets were paved with gold. Naive and innocent i was easy prey to every walking monster that crossed my path and found myself homeless and alone discovering the ugly side of London in all its depravity. Returning to Scotland two years on i married and gave birth to a beautiful daughter who is my rock, best friend and the only person on planet earth that understands me or puts up with me. The marriage was a nightmare and divorce was inevitable eight years later. Finally having enough of living in the cold and rain i moved to Spain in 1999.
