Art on the Go
Now that I’m back to bi-monthly commuting for work, my studio time has taken a bit of a hit. Especially when you combine that with the shorter days in the winter. Winter always makes early morning and evening sessions a bit of a challenge. So, I have been playing around with ways that I can…

It’sssss Christmas! Well Almost
I love this time of year as we’re gearing up for Christmas. I know many people get irritated when you start to hear Christmas tracks on the radio or in stores weeks ahead of the actual event but I love it! If I could I’d put the tree up at the end of November to…

Starting a New Series of Work
I’m feeling really excited about my art at the moment. And much of that excitement has to do with a new project I’m working on. After finishing my Beach Life series, I was in that frustrating phase of exploring lots of ideas. The exploration is a lot of fun! But I was struggling to settle…

Art Workshops
It has been several years since I had the pleasure of attending an in-person art workshop. I had booked a workshop during that weird time post lockdown where COVID was still high.

Summertime and the Living is Easy

But commissions are very different from selling something you have already created. There is an element of risk that kicks in when you know you are creating art…

Its been quite a few months since I posted. I have been painting regularly but have been devoting all my free time to the studio so haven’t written any blog updates. As I am in the final stages of completing a mini series of works I thought I’d pause and take a few moments to…

Well, hello 2022!
I hope you have all eaten well, enjoyed time with loved ones and generally had a break. I had a whole week off work and feel so much better for the downtime. The break also meant that I could get a few days in the studio which was a real bonus. New Year, New Me…

Happy Christmas
I’m really pleased to say that I have come through the other end of my creative block. It has taken weeks. But, having played around with collage and completed a couple of paintings, things seem to be back on track. End of the Year As we head towards the end of the year its time…

Feeling a Bit Lost
In my last post I said that I was in a bit of funk art wise. Unfortunately, I’m still feeling that way. I’ve read a few posts from others that paint, all are at pains to reassure you that its completely normal. Apparently everyone goes through phases like this. But, rationally knowing that, and emotionally…
