Wicked Wednesday

Shaughan bought me a new car on Monday yes it is this black 300xz. It's in Auckland, I think we are going to go and get in this week? I can't wait!

I took Ralph into the vet yesterday and he had to be put under again to get the tube removed from his ear. He wouldn't let the vet pull it out and was getting really grumpy. So it was another quite day for him yesterday. Poor little man.

My cousin is coming over today which I'm looking forward to, she is living in Brisbane now so I don't get to see her much, mind you we chat heaps through facebook. I read an article on facebook and they were going on about how bad it was but I think that's crap! I have caught up with heaps of people that I wouldn't have bumped into in the streets of Wanganui!

I have been buzzing around the house getting it ready for the Open Studios. I have taken all the art done by other artists down and hung my work in themes and written little blurbs for them.
I figured that I'm not going to be able to talk to everyone that walks in, so I decided to give them a hand out so they can understand where I am and what I was up to in my life when I painted my paintings. Most of them aren't for sale because my paintings are like photos of my life but I only having one copy, the original. Maybe this year I can look into getting prints done and sell them? I have decided to have a photo wall and sell those and take on some commissions as I love painting for other people. When I was at hairdressing college I had a good clientele because I used to listen to what they wanted and gave it to them.

I don't know what it is about this building but we had the fire truck here yesterday because the guy testing the alarm pushed the wrong button. I can't believe how much stuff happens outside our window. The other day we had a 14 year old kids swinging a machete at another kid on the wharf. I'm so over those kids that hang out down there they are horrible they always ask you if you have money or smokes and then start swearing at you. It's not cool! Shaughan tells them to pull their head. I just hope that no one gets hurt. They caught a pigeon the other day and I made Shaughan tell them to leave it alone and bugger off. I wonder if their parents know what they are up to? I know the police do because the printer guys have rung them 6 times about these kids.

I have an exhibition that I'm going to pop some work in next week but I'm not sure what to put in yet. It's about fashion and design, right up my alley. I'm excited!

I gave my resignation as a trustee on the open studios board last week as it was taking up to much of my energy. When I closed the gallery I wanted to concentrate on me, my family, friends, my art and music and it just didn't fit in. I hope that what I bought to the trust helped them and I'm sure the event will be a fantastic! This year they have the biggest amount of artists involved and I'm sure the town will be pumping over the 2 weekends and it will be the best one yet! This is the 5th one that I'm involved in and I'm looking forward to it. It's the first time that I have had this long to get ready for it.

My message for the day was: You are supported with the same energy that holds the planets in the sky. If God can support the huge planet Jupiter, He can certainly do the same for you.


Have a beautiful day!

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...

Art Every Day Month Day 5 - A mellow day for me.

Last night I was thought it would be fun to do different things everyday, to keep my blog interesting. I had high hopes of doing my creativity outside today but because of a snotty nose and sore eyes, I won't be venturing out there. I am going to keep it pretty simple today and create fractals. What is a fractal? A  fractal  is "a rough or fragmented  geometric shape  that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," [1]  a property called  self-similarity . Roots of mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by  Karl Weierstrass ,  Georg Cantor  and  Felix Hausdorff  in studying functions that were  continuous  but not  differentiable ; however, the term fractal  was coined by  Benoît Mandelbrot  in 1975 and was derived from the  Latin   fractus  meaning "brok...
