Happy Monday

All is well and I have been tidying the studio up with the plan to create more lovely pieces of artwork. I hope to share more artwork with you this year and share some techniques that I love to use.

 

In the mean time I have been doodling and experimenting with some watercolour paper, a wet brush and a Black Tombow pen!

Have a lovely week!

Colours

Just when you thought spring was on the way, it has turned cold again..bbbrrrrrr

Last week we had warm weather of 18c which is light jumper weather, no coats, boots, scarfs etc then Sunday something happened it got so cold it tried to snow! And as I write this it is trying again!

We need spring to come so I have found a few new colours to brighten up the day....

In the mix I have added some other greens and blues to show the different tones.

Here are a couple of my new pieces that I have painted with some of the up and coming trend colours, Emerald Green, Colbolt Blue and an old favourite of mine teal.

Fingers crossed for a warmer week or even better a warmer weekend!

New rooms

Just before Christmas John (my 4 year old) found a magazine with this picture in it:

"Mummy daddy I need our room to look like this!" Ok so this might be a little out of our reach but yes I had to agree with him it was a lovely room and we haven't done anything on the house recently.

So John agreed to move out of his room and share with his little brother George, so that we could change his room into an office work space, and the room I was camping in could be decorated and then he could in turn get a much larger bedroom. Whilst writing this I do feel a little guilty that I have moved my son out of his room and I'm currently enjoying his old room! But it will mean that things will get done sooner rather than later! And he does love being with George and has the top bunk so smiles all around.

So here are a few pics of the studio / office space in the process!

Lots of painting

Almost white...

New desks and the beginning of cupboards

More cupboards and my wonderful hubby putting them up (doesn't like his photo being taken)

This is the kids helping me unpack but we ended up making new artwork instead which I think was a better plan!

And this is the new room..we are just waiting for the floor and then it's complete!

Duck Pond Market August

This was my second time at the Duck Pond Market and boy was it a hot day!

I had just finished some new paintings and had to rush off to the Print Studio to get them scanned as I couldn't bare to loose some of them. I had spent all of Saturday printing and cutting them to size, a trip earlier in the week to the dreaded Ikea for some boxes to display everything.

Here is a look at my stall second time around!

A bit fuller than the first time.

This week I met a few new people I was surrounded by soap people! I am beginning to wonder whether I Caron (lady whom organises the Duck Pond Market) was trying to tell me something mmmm

Here are some lovely soaps from Bare Naturals

Their lovely soaps are 100% natural and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans (just in case you like to eat your soap! - just kidding!) Check these guys out www.barenaturals.co.uk 
They are also hoping to be back for the next Duck Pond Market on the 16th September, in Ruislip.

Here are a few photos from the rest of the market. Sorry I didn't get outside but there are some great sellers out there, along with an inflatable assault course for kids, some lovely ladies whom came and sang, and a great acoustic band whom seem to have my CD collection!

The next stall I have is a little one at the Thames Festival on Saturday the 8th September near the OXO tower, please come and find me and take a little something home to remember your trip! I am with the We Make London group, thanks to Mary for organising it.
