Day 24- A letter to your parents

Dear Mum and Dad,

Thank you so much for providing me with such wonderful opportunities from such a young age. I understand how blessed I am to have been able to have you both in my life and I am grateful.

These opportunities have inspired me to explore my options in life and also seek out new ways to live a fulfilled life. I have discovered my goal of being an artist because of your encouragement to follow my dreams and having the courage to do anything I choose.

I want to thank you for the guidance you provided me throughout my life. I am glad that you taught me how to work hard and treat people with kindness and love. They serve me well in life and I know that Maddy will have the same encouragement to be the same. Because of what you taught me, I know how to treat others well and what to expect from others.

Thank you again for helping me.

Love,
Dee x x

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

Shaughan took Maddy down to the market so I got to spend sometime in my studio painting. I was bummed out cause I had left my small brush in the water and it was wrecked, I need to go and get another number 0 brush today.

I spent many hours in the garden yesterday, it was good getting a sweat on and I'm not even sore today! Tony would be proud.

Under the trees the grass had got out of control!

The pile of branches are disappearing

You can walk through the trees now, still got a bit more to do but I couldn't see in the dark :)

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...
