I forget sometimes that I can inadvertently cause embarrassment to people – especially some people I know……. On Saturday I went out to dinner with some close friends, well actually they are more like extended family, and as we did the “How’ve you been? and how’s the family?” catch-up questions, I was told by the […]
Sometimes things that you think are within your grasp are taken away from you. Sometimes it takes you by surprise and sometimes its out of your power no matter how much you think you’re doing the right thing to get it. So, this was the case last year when I went to the local farm […]
I’ve spent the day getting mucky. A normal state of affairs, you would think for an Erotic Artist !!!?! But this isn’t normal dirty mucky – this is arty mucky, involving acrylic paint and palette knives!

I went to meeting for one of the art groups I’m in, last night. It was good to see everyone again, the usual start of chit-chat and pleasantries, then on to the meeting, not very exciting stuff, but it needs to be discussed with the group. Items talked over, decisions made, the usual stuff of […]

Well the snow’s been useful – it means I can stay in and paint! I’ve been working on the second, proper painting, of “Living Flame”. My spiritual healer friend thought it a big task, and asked me if I’d have problems painting it a second time, and I replied that I doubted it. If I’ve […]
Well, well, well, this is my 200th blog post!!! YAY!!!!!!! But not quite my second anniversary of blogging…… Since I’ve been “fannying” alot recently 🙂 it struck me the other day that I’ve not shown you a watercolour painting I did towards the end of last year for someone who wanted it as a surprise […]
