Happy Me..

Well the cold weather has hit us pretty hard today, there is snow falling on the mountain and it's really windy. It doesn't take long for the Wintery season to kick in once the clocks go back. I'm loving the cold this time, after our long hot Summer!

I'm suppose to be hosting our 6th art marketing group about ASSESS AND IMPROVE YOUR EXHIBITION AND SALES OPPORTUNITIES tonight but 3 out of the 6 are sick so I have put it off till next week. I really enjoy hosting the group, even with all the crazy run of events in the past few months.
I started another group this week for men, the group is based on the book The Artist Way by Julia Cameron and the people in the group are old friends that I love hanging out with.
I bought the book Vein of Gold by Julia Cameron last week and it has really kicked me back into gear and so motivated to ROCK ON!!! I was missing writing my morning pages. I wrote them for years and years and when I had Maddy they didn't fit into my day, but they do now and I can feel an instant change. Maddy starts creche in 2 weeks for 2 mornings a week, I'm so excited! So I started looking for a studio, can't wait to have some me space and time again!!!!!

I put Maddy in the big bed tonight and spent most of the day in her room having a big shift around and clean out. It's so nice seeing her grow into a little person. She is very independent much like me!


2 paintings glossed in the last 24 hours this one which is one I started many years ago


and this one which I was just playing around with a few months back

I'm not 100% happy with it, maybe because I used cool colours which I'm not used to? 
It is all glossed up so I can't work on it anymore! 

For the past few days I have been checking out chrysalis seed arts community @ csartspace.org.nz and have been having a great time checking out all the artists artwork, it's nice to have a change of scenery.

The Youtube clip of the day is from an artist that I found today his name is John Kraft


Does anyone have a piano I could paint?


I really enjoyed looking at his facebook page to find the link visit johnkraft.com

The card for the day is Fresh Air


lets hope it is a nice day tomorrow as I have been itching to get to the beach. But for now I had better put on a coat and go get some milk and coffee for the morning. I'm pretty sure the air is very fresh out there tonight.

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...
