This snake did not spend much time on my wall before my brother took him home for my nephew bedroom. I can feel a childrens' story coming on. Stay tuned...I have reached a point in my creativity where I want to change direction, develop a new painting style, still using lots of colour, but different somehow. It's hard to explain what I mean exactly, its simply an urge that I have to evolve a little further and try something new. So I have had a break from painting and will follow my instincts, going back to basics - sketching, drawing, laying down ideas in a journal, making a map to follow, so to speak. I'll let you know how I go.
I had a lovely day Op Shopping yesterday - purchased a green 'as new' windcheater with hood ($7.00), a pretty bowl that I took a liking to ($0.50c!) and a summer top in the most beautiful deep turquoise (my colour) with a little embroidery at the front ($6.00), can't wait for summer to come so I can wear it. I just love the concept of donating money to charity to receive recycled clothing and 'stuff' - everybody wins!
I just love your paintings ... they are so uniquely you ... bright vibrant colours and an indigenous feel!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do next!
I'm not sure if this will be comment #2 from me or not...the other one seemed to dissapear into the void!
ReplyDeleteI really love your paintings Patti...they are so vibrant and bold. I can understand your need to move in another direction, try new techniques etc. as I've been feeling the same way. I think it's a good thing to always be pushing our boundaries, learning new things and having new experiences. Good luck with it!
He looks like a friendly, slightly cheeky snake - just like Tom!
ReplyDeletehello thank you very much for your comment:) I would love to see your own answers for virtual circle:)
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend

Great snake, I love it too - good luck with your `journey'. I think you are looking for `true north' and you will get there but part of the pleasure is the journey.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a magic snake!
ReplyDeleteI shop the charity shops too, bringing in what I don't use anymore and trading it for something new to me.
Thanks for coming by my site to comment.
