Colour Burst

I  hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break, also Anzac Day for us here in Australia.  Raining again, although we did have a beautiful day on Good Friday and picnicked in the park with family.  We have eaten our share of chocolate and other easter treats and I will be glad to get back to normal again!  Too much of a good thing!

The above painting is just a small one - acrylic on canvas.  I'm thinking of making a matching pair of large paintings based on this small design for my lounge area - a big burst of colour!

You may have already heard of 'What I wish For You'  by Patti Digh.  Happily I received a copy of it in the mail today, since my artwork (page 64) has been included alongside an essay by Michelle Drabik (page 65). Woo Hoo!

Really exciting to see something of mine published with this lovely group of writers and artists.  The essays in the book are full of gentle wisdom, accompanied by some beautiful artwork, I'll be treasuring my copy! 

Thank you Patti for the opportunity to contribute to your book!

Now to settle in with a cup of peppermint tea to read it from cover to cover!

Just Married!

Another painting in the naive style I enjoy so much, this one called 'Just Married'.  I loved painting all the little flowers floating down like confetti on the happy couple.  It was completed in just over a day, since Saturday was a consistent downpouring of rain, and there was nothing else left to do but paint!
