Staying Afloat
So the summer is over and it’s time to get back into the routine of life. I don’t know about you but I think it's a kind of scary time of the year. It feels like we should be starting fresh, settling down and improving on our skills. Summer is like a little party, a break from having to constantly keep up. Well the party looks like it’s over, unless of course we get an Indian Summer…bring it on!
The kids are back to school or starting university, households are disrupted with the new changes. I have also enrolled in a series of oil painting classes run by a well known artist. I am looking forward to improving my skills and hopefully it will show up in the pieces I am working on now. I think it’s really important to keep updating skills.
I am so grateful that I seem to have a constant stream of house commissions, I still really enjoy doing these and it keeps me in a steady routine, which I think is very important. I have been doing them for over ten years now and they are still proving to be a fantastic gift.
I am delighted to say I am now showing in three galleries and aiming to spread my wings a little further. The landscapes and oils are part of my new adventure.
I am planning to clean up my studio in preparation for my new work. So, in the middle of October I will be launching a mid season sale of my prints. Take a minute to have a look at my shop and see if there is anything in there that might be of interest! You have to love a bargain!
I would love if you stay with me on my journey, this is not always about art, it may sound that way but I think this is how a lot of people feel. Let me know if I am right, do you wish the party didn't end? Bring on our Indian summer!
