simply not

So.  They look different, right?
 I'm supposed to be simplifying things now. Starting to cover up bits and creating interesting shapes using positive and negative spaces. So that they kind of look like these....
 But I find it rather terrifying so I'm sort of delaying it. Can you find the cats in the first canvas?


 After days of drawing flowers and trying to think of other personally meaningful imagery it suddenly dawned...of course! Kittehs! Why the hell not?

gone tomorrow

It's week two on Flora Bowley's e-course and my nails and kitchen counter look like shit but I'm having a blast! Colour is my crack and painting in this free and intuitive way is some kind of awesome high. Sometimes I wish things could move along faster but I know actually, during a school week,(when I really should be worrying about assessments) this is perfect for me. Each day, I log in to hear some thoughts on intuition and creativity or a do creative project, and twice a week videos with Flora showing the next step with another layer to add to my rapidly evolving canvases.
 She's warned us not get get too attached to the canvas as it's going to change a whole lot more. So I took a look, snapped the pic... and it will probably not be around next Tuesday.

going coastal

These were taken while driving through to my mom's yesterday morning. After years and years of taking this route to work I really miss it. The cliffs and wheeling gulls on the left and township on the right.

Sam gave me these for Christmas. Aren't they beautiful?




By the way- it's cooled down a touch! Woot!
