Thursday 25th October

Today I had a visit from a lovely lady that I had meet threw the NZ art guild website.

We went on a mission around the town to find some inspiration and get some photos. We headed down back streets and alleys looking for the perfect shot. The first place we found was amazing the sparrows were nesting and they weren't fussed with us being there. The light in the sky wasn't the best so we called into the glass studio and watched Brendon make a piece of glass. Headed down to the river, called into Bill's gallery to check out what was hanging on the walls, had lunch at Jolt and got to know each other walking all over town. We weren't sure what to do next so we came home and she checked out http://www.wanganui.org/ and picked our next location. It was the Winter Gardens, I was happy because my little sister had a statue in there that I hadn't seen yet so we headed up there and checked it out.
It was cool we went and got some bread from the cafe and feed the ducks and swans. Went to the birds Avery and found some spotty feathers, yummy! I have to take a photo so you can see what it looks like because it's beautiful!

We must have got back around 3:30pm so she hit the road back to home. I hope to have some of her work on the Paint Pit website soon. http://www.paintpit.com/


Yesterday I had another good go at the gallery and even got some of the cleaning done which means spaces are getting cleared out. Who would think I could put so much stuff down there.

We started changing our room around last night to try and get the traffic noise down and it's going to look fab, I'm excited! I love changing the house around.

My message for the day is: We can heal away low self-esteem and any personality characteristic that gives you pain.

Crikey it's after 5 now, were does that time go? I better get in that kitchen like a good girl and cook my man some food, ha ha.

Oh I must say that I had a fantastic email from vista print today and I'm really impressed with the way they work. If you haven't been to their site check it out http://www.vistaprint.co.nz/

Have a good one

Latest painting process

I have just put the last of the paint on the canvas  'SPIRITS CHAIN' I've had fun painting this tortured woman. They say when you paint what you fear you paint your best work.  Progress photos... had a moment of sick of trying to fix the eyes that I started again my little cutie was having fun with me in the studio   This is me the beginning doing a bit of research for my painting. I was so excited that I couldn't wait I went straight out to the studio in my dressing gown. The card for the day is... You are a perfect child of God, and every part of you is wonderful.  Your angels guide you to let go of negative self-judgments and to enjoy being you! “You are much to hard on yourself,” your angels day to you through this card.  Although you enjoy having high standards, it’s important to view yourself through loving eyes.  Berating yourself only makes your spirit ...
