Hi Ho, Hi Ho....

Lucky me...I've accepted an offer of a part-time job selling/fitting shoes and will be off to work in a couple of weeks - no longer a lady of leisure!  I'm so looking forward to it!  It will be good to get out into the working world again after a few years break.  I'll still have time for making art so it's a good balance, important for wellbeing.

I hope Spring and Sunshine is emerging up there in the Northern Hemisphere.  Here Down Under, I'm sipping iced water in front of an electric fan and longing for some cool autumn days!  It's a topsy turvy world!

We are Australian

The Floods in Australia have been devastating and viewing this 'flashmob' raises money for flood victims.  The song they sing makes Australians everywhere go all wobbly.

From Yin to Yang



Living Room

Our living room, once a fairly 'yin' nook has now become a cosy and colourful 'yang' space.  I painted this canvas inspired by our new red rug.  The other wall above the other sofa needs another painting of mine for balance.... back to the easel I go!

I am searching for some new lamps and maybe a standard lamp to read by and will be re-staining the old coffee table as soon as I can muster some of that kind of painting energy.  Then onto the sunroom!
