Above is a journal entry from my nature journal,this little bunny decided to stay with me while I was painting and photographing images at the botanical gardens,he gave me the pleasure of his company fore more than an hour,I felt very privileged.

Below is a print that will be available in my Etsy store on the weekend.

Up and about again!!!!!


Well at last I'm kind of mobile since fracturing my spine,its been a challenge and I'm still not out of the woods but at least Im able to walk around for an hour or two at a time with out so much pain.

I have been working to get my Etsy store on the road as I am unable to work my normal job so Im looking at this as a challenge to start working full time in art and design.

Hopefully I will be well enough to teach a class or two a term as well as work front he studio..so here go the new adventure.

Ive been focusing on my illustration work and craft work and its been so much fun though I am only able to do it for short spurts at a time,still its happening just the same and that's a positive.

Im also hoping to do some video tutorials to share with others in the near future,so keep and eye out for it here.

I love my life!

Books Ive been reading....art mags mainly and the Decorated Page..

Tools I love this week....printer and water soluble oil pastels..

Materials...thick beautiful watercolour papers,parchment paper and sharpies..

Inspiration...http://studiopetite.blogspot.com/ its a lovely bright happy whimsical blog so check it out for a smile and some colour!


The one happiness is to shut ones door upon a little room,with a table before one,and to create;to create life in that isolation from life..Eleonora Duse.

The wonderful Judy Wise talking about the all important journal,we all need to do it.
