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 :)

It's been a while since i last blogged (confession time)!

So apologies to all those lovely people that have followed me for some time now. 

Summer has been and gone!  I have drunk lots of tea, painted fences, made jam, crocheted some little doiley things, continued with teaching myself to play the piano, painted a few pics, listed some new items, registered myself for freelance work, been to airport to wave off my brother who has gone to australia, bet on some horses on my lovely friend martinas hen do in bath.  Amongst ALL of that i have been working (the real day job!)
