Been up since 4am

It's funny as last Saturday I was up at 3am all excited to open for the Open Studios and this week 4am.

Last weekend was fantastic! Saturday we had a stream of people through our home, had a nice lunch with friends and we ended up rarking it up through the night.
Sunday I got to have another lunch with more friends and caught up with people I hadn't seen in ages!

I got my photo in the paper on Monday which was cool! The papers have been helping the open studios heaps this year which is really great to have their support.
Bring on today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mum and I went over to Palmy on Tuesday and had a great day we went shopping in friendly Feilding and spent heaps of money at FPC Art Warehouse and then headed over to Palmy to hang out with Nana. Below are some photos I took of Nana's photos that we went through while we were there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA for yesterday. I finally visited my friend Ness and checked out her home whcih they had bought about a year ago, I can't believe I hadn't been there before Tuesday, it was great to see her.

I had a workshop on Wednesday sponsored by the FPC Art Warehouse and it was such a lovely morning! We got through everything I had planned and they went away with a painting all glossed up ready to hang on their walls. It looks like they will all be back as they enjoyed their time here. I'm think I will have another workshop next week as there were 5 other people that didn't get to come who wanted to.

I went to see Vanessa yesterday and we all thought she would have had her baby yesterday as he has dropped and the midwife was certain that he wouldn't be far away, maybe today? It's so exciting!

My message for the day was: You have much to offer the world, Dear One! You are multi talented beyond your scope of understanding.

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...
