Friday 5th October

I have had a pretty busy few days with people visiting and getting ready for 25 kids coming to paint with me today. It's very exciting I love it when I get a group of kids coming to paint. We are going to paint big paintings of our surroundings.

Yesterday I had some great news we have Carlotte Shophia Fazzini-Jones joined our family yesterday around 2pm.

Amanda is well and our little girl is perfect too!

Grandpa Vic was over the moon and is looking forward to holding her in his arms!

She looks so peaceful!

It's exciting when a new addition comes into the family. The next one is Nessies in April and I think she will have a girl too!

I got emailed this photo yesterday from a trip Carolyn and I took to Mangaweka yesterday.

We have planned to go back there next month and do a glass casting workshop which will be fun!

The people in Mangaweka rock!

I'm having a few friends over tonight to have a few drinks and finish our paintings for the festival they are having.

Anyway I better go and jump in the shower and get ready for the kids I will post some photo's later.

My message for the day was: See yourself and others through the eyes of an angel, and you will see a beautiful world that is light, bright, and hopeful.

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
