Summer has arrived....41°C

And all I can think of is a spending time at a tropical place....cooling off in calm waters.

Learning new skills

Time to explore and venture into the unknown, as I learn how to knit and when it all feels too overwhelming, I resort back to drawing pictures for children's Birthday cards. :) 

Another 'Wish'

It was a busy Winter and although the cold was keeping me inside, there was no better time to consider an opportunity to complete three commissioned paintings. It has been a pleasure in the making and I feel delighted knowing these paintings will bring much happiness to a very special lady.

Wishing flowers (Dandelions) are a symbolic flower for many reasons and one close to my heart, as they bring back the beautiful memories of my childhood and to this day, I still make a wish with my daughter.

If it is not a memory, a wish or two, for pleasure of viewing, then please give a thought to the bees and our future. This Spring, I will plant some flowers for the bees and I will let the dandelions grow...happy gardening ;)

The TelegramOffice

A very special wedding and sadly we were unable to attend. As you can imagine, I spent endless hours thinking of the perfect gift to last a lifetime and something traditional that says more than just a card...when thankfully I came across 'The TelegramOffice'. My experience was a pleasant journey with the 'Telegram Clerk' who devoted his time to ensuring my details were accurate and that my telegram arrived in a professional and timely manner, not to forget the unique quality of the traditional and everlasting style.

This has been an experience to share, as the telegram brought a smile to the faces of loved ones.
Thank you so much for all your efforts, with great thanks to the 'Telegram Clerk'.

Winter has arrived

An unusual cold snap arrived bringing snow to the Capital and strangely enough, people have commenced taking photos of snow on their cars....including myself :)

What to do on a cold Winter's day.....keep warm and paint. I am in the process of preparing three paintings to help someone's wish come true and it's been a delightful event in the making.

Grace Kelly - gems from the Palace.

I am always looking for new inspiration and when the recent announcement that Castlereagh boutique - Sydney were due to showcase Grace Kelly's collection, I Immediately immersed myself in viewing diamonds and created a special piece featuring the butterfly fossil.

I generally enjoy working with pencils and acrylic paints however, I was tempted to face the challenge of watercolour and I am pleased with the outcome and will continue to develop my skills using this medium.

This piece is now on it's journey to a new home and I hope the owner has as much appreciation for a symbolic period, as I have in the making.
