Big Brave Me

Splashed some paint................

and over the table :S............


and then splashed some more in the pool.................


Ok, so the above picture is NOT of me!  Although i did have a try dive at our local pool last night!  I even got a wee certificate to proove so!  Initial panic slowly faded and i totally enjoyed the exhilarating experience!  I think i might like to do it again.

New acrylic painting

I love to just play with my paint, mix it about with my fingers, rub sand paper right over the whole thing and then scribble on it whatever i'm feeling at the time.  It may not always be everyones cup of tea, but it gives me huge satisfaction and wastes lots of paint! :o.

Happy Monday :)

Inspiration drives me insane

Whenever inspiration and ideas pull at me, twist my tummy and turn me a little doolally out comes my little book. Yeah I made it myself don't you know :).

So yes, I'm on the ideas train again!

Under preasure

I'm not too hot on commissions, I can't seem to get into the right frame of creativeness. This painting was a birthday pressie and I must say I was quite pleased with the results. The print of this is available to buy.

Painting has been a chore lately. Struggling to paint something I actually like....or something that anyone likes for that matter!

Happy weekend people :)
