2008

I have been very lax...not posting on my BLOG since December. However, I have either been very busy or just in holiday mood ie: not wanting to do anything! My eldest daughter leaves for a 12 month exchange to Brazil tomorrow and we are in a state of organisation ...well at least I am!

In amongst all the happenings I have been painting. Forever Connected is my latest creation. It took awhile for it to find itself becasue it is the first painting I have worked on for about 2 months. After my exhibition in October I took time to reflect. I do this after each show and I think it is a good way of continuing but not regurgitating previous work. Time to think is so valuable. I do tell people that being an artist is not just about the doing, it is also about being, thinking, questioning, dreaming and all those wonderful things.
