Push the mids
When the light outdoors isn’t that great to pull a work together cohesively I always remember to push my mid hues. I learned this from a past highly regarded artist/teacher. This actually does work if used smartly without over saturating the hues. This is a section of an artwork and you can see the day has little light to work with.

Little does he know
My little boy Homer is heading to the Vet specialist early tomorrow morning for a full knee reconstruction or something similar to an ACL knee injury (a bit like the footy players get at times). The next 6-8 weeks will be trying for him and probably me too. He is only four so he is still young enough to recover well. I’m hoping he will recover quicker than they say and back to his bouncy, loveable ready to please self. x

Walks around the neighbourhood
We are tending to take more notice on our one hour of exercise a day structure in Melbourne for now. I keep finding treasure in the many gardens and such adorable little and biggish homes I pass. Homes that must be filled with a vast array of stories that could fill a book. I think these little homes and gardens are exuding warmth, cosy and love in buckets; I feel it as I pass by. I’ve picked flowers (trying to be discreet) from these blooming gardens and have started the process of pressing them in many old books. What joy I am making with my miniature artworks and pressed flowers…

She’s lookin cute
A bit vintage tonight with this cutesy little (work in progress) chick. Just coming up with character ideas where I often work from kids I know and then make up my composition to set a scene.

Christmas in Eltham
Without a doubt each Christmas you can hear Christmas tunes blaring from the loud speakers as the local Fireys travel up down the steep hills around residential Eltham. It’s those regular acts within the local community that bring the neighbourhood out to chat and of course wave to Santa and his firey crew on the back of the big loud red Firetruck. Luv this!
