Oh well.
I’ve had a pretty bad day already today, and I wanted to get it out of my system before… well, I don’t know what before, but before it at any rate. I’m feeling increasingly more and more frustrated with art things – a lack of time and attentiveness is causing it really. So when I…

Art Woes
Is this all that I can manage? I am meant to be using my blog as an art blog as well as writing about all other sorts of things. But lately, I don’t feel like I have had any time to create anything. I feel mostly uninspired and no matter how much art I go…

Why do I/You paint?
Why do I paint? I’ve often asked myself this. Why do I create paintings, drawings and write? It’s mostly addiction.

I found a new technique for doing backgrounds rather than just gradient style painting and I admit, I am rather thrilled…

The space
Just a picture of the artworking space, as promised in my last post. And a couple of sneaky peaks at the paintings I am currently working on – which is why it looks like a mess already! — Also, I mentioned a Skillshare Course that I was going to be undertaking and would report back…

Having a spot of bother
I’ve been upstairs twice this week – onto the top floor of my house and into my studio space. I haven’t been using it lately, but since writing this blog I’ve actually had the desire to create something… anything! But the top floor has become a bit of a dumping ground for things gathered as…

The new start
I am currently standing at the forefront of the biggest change in my life. I am six weeks away from giving birth (Roughly, as we can never really predict these things exactly) to my first child. I am in a stable and very loving relationship with my husband – we’ve been together for nearly 9…
