Playing catch up with life and tea...

Painting on toned backgrounds.

Always a different way to paint.

Sometimes it's harder but it's always rewarding.

Almost 100% back up to date with life, love and everything else.

So sophisticated....

She's so sophisticated .  I quite like here.  When going through my gallery, I realised I've been painting this angle of the face quite a bit.  I need to mix it up a bit... like try it from the other side.

It's more difficult than you would imagine.  Our brains map pathways and it's easier to follow the same route over and over.

That's where it would be good to use a reference to help you see and try and map a new new way... my next mission.

Plus I have some ideas for June...

Facing the end of May...

 

I haven't had too much time to blog here this past week...

But we continue to journey on... my next 40 frames arrived home this week.

And they are beautiful - I'm really so thrilled with each one.

  Each frame gets stamped at the back with my name, gets re-wrapped and packed away - ready for exhibition.

I'm more in love than ever...

I am so in love with my teabaggirls at the moment.

I know that sounds a bit silly - but they are making me so happy.

And I'm excited to paint them everyday.  I'm just having so much fun!

Isn't that what it is all about.  Maybe it has something to do with the longterm goal.

This adventure I'm on and with the exhibition in sight.

Having purpose makes everyday make more sense.  

Pushing and stretching my boundaries.  I am loving that.

So my teabag love continues and I'm finding new ways to play with them.

And I'm particularly in love with this...

She flowed right out my brush...

Sometimes, it's just so effortless and fun.  Always such a joy, when they flow right out! 

I love the elements of green and yellow so much.  In the coming week I'm going to use references to inspire me.  It always brings something new to the table.  Sending love as we journey on.
