New Discoveries!

Blossoms In The Wind

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break, mine was a very full one, thankyou!  A visit from my daughter and lots of time for rest and relaxation and of course, painting!

Max and I went for a walk this sunny Easter afternoon and discovered a beautiful stretch of road surrounded on either side by bushland.  The air is filled with the sound of bellbirds and smells absolutely amazing!  We will be going back there for sure! Crazy that we didn't know it existed before now!

I invite you all to visit my new website www.pattibourne.com.au Please visit my online store for paintings not featured on the rest of the website.

You can also find me on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/BlissFruitStudio so please come along and like my page!

Home Again!

Shoal Bay View

We're back home again after a week away up the coast.  Shoal Bay is a very tranquil spot and there are plenty of restaurants, eateries and shops to keep you interested.  We did a lot of reading, gazing out at the view from our balcony and simply 'people watching'.



Looking towards Tomaree Point

Morning walks before breakfast, evening walks after dinner and lots of walking in between, dipping into the bay for a swim afterwards. We even shared the water with a pod of dolphins one afternoon! Priceless!

Anticipation

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!
