Anticipation

Studio Pic

I'm happy to say I'm officially on holiday!

Life has been pretty busy at the villa, so it's great to be able to take a break.  I also have planned another exciting break later on in the year to attend a Judy Wise Cold Wax workshop in Jervis Bay, the place where I was born.  It's a beautiful part of the world and Judy has been an inspiration for so long, it will be wonderful to finally meet her and spend the weekend immersed in painting!

I love the way the year rolls out new and exciting things to put in the diary and anticipate!

My new website is still under construction and is coming along very nicely.  It promises to be very colourful with an online shop too.

Autumn weather here is sunny and warm and hopefully it will stay this way for the rest of our break.  Enjoy your weekend!

The Latest

Above is a sneak peek of the latest painting I've been working on..........  more fruit, I know, I know!  Lots more to do on this one before it's finished.

Another market day coming up again for me and some exciting news - I have a website under construction!  Stay tuned and I'll let you know when it's complete.  It's lots of fun helping my website man put it all together.  I think I may have the easy part though!

We are looking forward to a well earned holiday soon.  Some time to prune our thriving garden and to do things around the Villa.  More opportunities for painting and also a chance to go away for a week up the north coast for some sun, sand and wave action!

Colourful!

Did I ever show you these?

These are my story boards, the first one finished, the second my favourite, the third in progress!

I love telling children's stories and love painting in bright colour too, a match made in heaven!

I had a market day today, assisted by my daughter and son.  Not so successful in terms of sales, though we did a lot of networking and talked through a possible large commission.  Fingers crossed for some good results there!  Lots of positive feedback on my art in general too!
