My studio time has been a little stop-start with me having guests from back home, I am not complaining at all. I’ve loved every moment of it, it’s been such a gift in my life at this time. First Courteney and Marc and for the past two weeks, my parents. It has been a truly remarkable time for us as a family. I basically camped out at my sister’s place for the duration of the visit so we could do everything together and it was utterly heavenly but more about that in another post.
So of course, I have headed straight back into my studio this week and I am so happy to be back in my happy place. I have been finishing pieces and starting new ones, working with a bit of clay and doing lots of art admin. I couldn’t be happier. Both these pieces are available, I will be doing some weekly shop updates over the next couple of months. I am also preparing for two online exhibits / auctions I have coming up. More about these soon. xxx

Some of my unfinished works can linger with me for so long and with time I’ve learnt to accept this. I can’t force anything or rush it, I have to wait and listen to the quiet whispers of where each piece wants me to go! I am always patient and always listening.
If you have been following my social media pages you will see I’ve been sharing some timelapse videos of me painting… warmups and under-paintings so far. I have not done this for a very long time but it feels really good to be back here and dare I say, I’m having so much fun.
I finally unpacked my film-rig and camera and it’s all set up with my studio lights and I am ready to start filming and sharing again. I am not saying anything formal will come of it yet but for now, I am just mindfully sharing and playing.
It is my plan to share a little something daily or every second day of things I’m working on and progressing with. This week I shared the beginnings of some new pieces.
Keep watching this space!!!
