Only 4 Days Till The Exhibition

Rere, Raywyn and I headed out to Mere and Pete's yesterday and had a beautiful peaceful morning at the Mangamahu Hotel.

A few weeks ago on Sunday (TV programme) Mere was interviewed about this painting, that I am standing next to in the photo, by New Zealand artist Phillip Clairmont. It was about the fuss of it being sold and how some people thought that Phillip didn't sign it. In the programme they showed a photo that had been taken of the painting after his death and you couldn't see the signature but as you can see in this photo it doesn't look like it is signed either and the photo was taken with a good camera so maybe it was signed and the camera didn't pick it up?

We had a lovely morning out there and I'm happy to say that Mere is going to open up the house for the Open Studio weekend so others can go and enjoy her home and check out this famous painting. Mum is going to join in with her so you check out my Mums work as well while you are out there. Mum has done lots of painting from the area which sell like hot cakes so hopefully she will do some more.

I made a slide show of some of the photos I took while I was out there Click Here to view.

Our exhibition is only 4 days away and we heard yesterday that Stefano is back in town but sick so I will pop around there today and see what I can do to help him get better. It's been no stress so far for the exhibition but I'm sure we will have a little stress closer to the day as we all work better under stress.

I started a huge painting yesterday and ran out of paint so had to try and get it to a stage that I liked without the materials it was hard as I never run out.

Richard and Carolyn are coming around tonight to have a dew drinks which I'm looking forward to. We always end up with Shaughan on the guitar and Richard on the drums and us girls having a wee boogie.

My message for the day was: Every time you smile and feel happy, you are fulfilling God's will.

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books. Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

I'm really enjoying blogging again, it's been years since I have written everyday. I used to do morning pages before I got pregnant, I have heaps of books full of my dribble. The Artist Way by Julia Cameron got me into the morning pages! Every artist should own a copy of that book! I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting. Here are my 2 creations for the day... Releasing my MADNESS! Getting more into it without distractions Don't you love the texture wax makes! I have been looking for my cutter cause this card is too big and I just can't find it anywhere. Here are some other pieces I have done, in the past with encaustic wax. This one was done with the iron on card. This one was done with the iron on card. This one was done with the iron on card.
