Last night i was awake for sooo long... tossing and turning... trying to work out what is the disconnect?

I was thinking about creating colourful art for walls but more importantly for PEOPLE. Being able to create something special for people specifically for them that has special meaning. It wouldn't have to be a thing, it could just be colour? Texture? I was awake cause I there seems to be a disconnect of what I do and being able to do it for people collaboratively ie. we come up with an idea together and then I create it with updates along the way, your input your help. Something affordable, something special.
Where we have a conversation and we chat about favourite colours shapes and where it can sit in the house, on which wall, how big would it be? Would it contain a special symbol or be symbolic of a person and place?
How could it feel if they walk into a room and see something out of the corner of their eye as they go about their days that just sparks something in their soul that is special to them.

I know I can do it, i know they would love it.. but it seems perhaps out of reach, maybe too expensive, too scary to think of as it doesn't exist? Trusting the creative process is scary and for me perhaps or something I would be nervous about doing? Im done with holding myself small anymore. Its time to really step up and my motivation in and so many things throughout my life have been on the joy of creating for a person and especially if it has special meaning.

If this speaks to you and you seek the possibility of maybe having this for you before xmas. Or perhaps having a gift for a set date, you are willing for an investment of time together, being willing to trust the process and you value something handcrafted over a mass produced print. Please message / email me for a conversation, no pressure, no commitment.

I am hoping I can sleep tonight having it put other there, cause I have learnt if you dont put it out there its never going to happen.

I'm posting as I go (scroll back the last few posts) cause I believe in the journey :) It's lovely to see the time lapse videos but I feel like if we watch too much of those it gives us a false sense of how long it takes to create and takes the joy out of it.

This was my day today. I started at 6am. Sure I wasn't painting the whole time, I ate, cleaned the studio did things in between my painting cause that's how I paint, I need to walk away in between.

Lots of decisions on the lights of the clouds, the lights of the cockatoo and then eventually the foreground. The big brush strokes and the little ones and then back to the big ones 😉. The thinking ahead of the process and getting the ground work in ready for the next layers to come that need the contrasts in to make it work.

I sometimes get frustrated cause I want to finish the artwork quickly but then I remember this is the creative process not a time-lapse video. 🤭🥰

Moving along further on this one it's so fun to start on the cockatoo ☺️

I never thought I was an orchid growing type of girl 🫪, but this is the second time this lovely gift from a friend had all her petals fall off and now she has blossomed again ❤️❤️❤️
Last time she lost all her petals I took her out of her pot got her some fresh nurturing soil and gave her a new pot and have been looking after her for a while she loves the laundry window and look at her now she has so many blooms and is so beautiful ❤️
Its amazing what lovely support and love will do when given a proper chance ❤️ a bit like my life really 💕

Very limited time in the studio today but 20mins here 30mins there makes for progress :)
Painting lots of skies in past paintings.... struggling...pushing through means the next painting is always better and so I keep learning, looking and most of all enjoying the journey not the destination...(But it's very nice when the painting flows in the way you want) 😍❤️

New Artwork started which is the compilation of many many things 😍. I've been checking over my portfolio for the Milan Art Institute so this might be the start of another chapter / bridging piece let's see how it plays out.

Ok so I'm doing the artist turning the painting around thing cause that seems to be the way.

Not sure what to call this one yet, but it's definitely been a lovely journey 😊

*Excited* I am getting back to workshops after a bit of a break sorting out some weekend workshops for 2027.

Questions are 1. Which type?
2. When?

1. Coloured Pencil Techniques Introductory and/OR possibly an Intermediary class where we use different surfaces etc over a couple of weekends ? OR i would definately but up for a Mixed Media explore lots of different materials and surfaces and techniques day if there is anyone keen, i have done a type of class like this before but i figured coloured pencils are not as common.

2. When? I am thinking April / May but i could try to swing a bit earlier say Feb if there is interest and all of the holiday who ha settles down and we want to get back to art (unless you are like me and it never leaves :)

Love to hear your questions, suggestions either message or email :) let me know :)
