Missing Writing

It's weird but for the past week I have really missed putting pen to paper and getting out everything from this full head of mine. Every time I have come to write in my blog something or one has interrupted me so it is nice to hear the sound of Shaughan behind the vacuum cleaner, the keys of the keyboard and the baby asleep :)

I have been really lucky to have Shaughan who has taken on a lot more responsibilities while I was pregnant and now Maddy is born. Having and bringing up a baby is something you can never explain of how much your life changes, the lack of sleep is the worst thing for the first 4 months :)

Oh the 2 do list is finally getting back in use, I find this is the only way I can manage my life without sleepless nights. My mind is always so full and when it is like this I toss and turn if I haven't written it down. Plus I find everything that I write happens, don't ask me why.

It was 5 years ago this weekend that I opened the Paint Pit man a lot has happened in that time!

I find it hard to believe that it is nearly 5 years next week that my Gran died, oh I still miss hanging out with her, she was a cool chic! From time to time I find things that she wrote and seeing her hand writing is something that makes me feel like she is still around. I was lucky to get lots of her photo albums and slides, she also liked taking photos, I look through her life a lot. It makes me wonder what really does happen when you die. I know there is something out there but I couldn't tell you what it is. I supose you call that faith? Without faith life seems so boring you get up do your thing and then go to sleep. I see the people in my life who have no faith and it really sad they need a big stick to give them a good poke in the right direction!

This weekend is the Mangaweka Fakes and Forgeries festival and I was all packet to go but the weather turnd cold and the little one has her top teeth coming through so is a bit grumpy, bugger! I did mange to get a painting in the exhibition the first exhibtion in NZ for a year. CRAZY!!

My music clip for the day is a new music video of my buddy Phil's 'Waiting for Thursday' it is very cool.....



Hopefully he will come down in the next few months so he can finish his music video 'Everything's Gona Be Fine' which he started last time he was here:)

My message for the day is....Choose to be happy!

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,...

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to.
