From my home to yours






I do so love visiting friends and family and seeing my work on display in their homes. Over the years I have painted and given away so many works that I often have forgotten about. So it was really nice to be invited to a home of some new friends and collectors of my work, to see my work on display in their amazing renovated home. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

The need to draw!

Having returned to school after the holidays I have found it really hard to devote time to my painting. Which doe make me sad, but I do think it was a sign that I needed to slow down a bit too! So in between marking numerous art essays I have found a new for of procrastination, that was easy enough to squeeze in a few half hour sessions through the week. DRAWING! When I was a kid I used to draw on everything, from the TV guide and my maths books to the back of my parents phone bills. I would just sit and draw for hours on end. This was a past time that also got me through a lot of my high school years until of course I discovered my passion for painting in Year 12.
Here is a sketch in progress that I have been working on this week. So far it is receiving a lot of great feedback on FB.
