Middle of August already!!

Talk about a long time since I have written in my blog. It's been good not using my computer as much as I did.

Yesterday I went for a walk around Durie Hill and got this photo of our building with it's lovely new colours.

Last week I found out that I'm pregnant. It was a bit of a shock but we are both very happy and talk about getting excited. I'm so lucky to have my sister helping me out. I was trying to talk her into becoming a Midwife yesterday as she would be perfect!! Wanganui has a shortage of them I think there are 15 midwives and 800 babies being born a year. I heard some people are being shipped out of Wanganui to see a midwife.

This was another photo I took yesterday I love it when the moon is out!!! I think the moon coming over Durie Hill is one of my favourite sights. I'm lucky to have such a good seat in our house to watch this!

I have been busy doing lots of different things like the Tarot every morning which has been interesting. I have never kept a note of the cards I pull, so it is interesting to see which cards I keep pulling out. It was funny this morning as I woke up grumpy and wanted to lash out, the cards I pulled said.... wait, relax, trust and have good judgement. It totally pulled my head in!!!!

I finally used Skype for the first time in my life on Tuesday. It's pretty cool as I got to talk to my mate Kohava in Ozzie!!
And I had a group of people come and paint with me in the morning, it was a lovely, we are heading off to the gallery on Friday afternoon together. It's really cool meeting new people that hold the same passions as I do.

This is the beginning of one of the 5 mask paintings that I wanted to have finished by the end of August, man how life gets mixed up. I have only started 2 of the 5. Maybe today I should get cracking and get some more done??? Or maybe I should go watch movies keep warm and eat chocolate hahaha.

My message for the day was: The bliss of the Creator forever permeates all of creation, and it is only in the forgetting that misery exists.

Yay Spring it on it's way!!! x x x x

Here is a funny little clip I made of Ralph yesterday.....

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,...
