Out Of The Grey…….

My cards were launched this month at Top Drawer with Dry Red Press and I am thrilled with them. It is difficult to get the colours right in the printing process but these are really good. I have put them up for Sale in my new shop on the website. Dry Red Press have a look for yourself……
I have also been painting for a commission which I was confident I knew what the client wanted but when I let her see the progress I realised the pitfalls of this process and that one cannot read minds.
I have now re started painting but the great thing is I feel really excited by the original painting and out of the grey of January I have this painting to look at myself and it has surprised me

It's a New world, a New dawn a New day……….

Wow was I sucked down into a vortex in December…I was consumed!
Spat out now and absolutely raring to go, I am setting up a shop on my web-site and slowly but surely I am going to show my wares…….
Painting is  coming and this weekend I went for a long sunshine filled walk through Greenwich park and along the river with my beau.
We visited my childhood and walked in well trodden steps and it stirred up my imagination and I am keen to start drawing.
So the conclusion is I am going to put my head down now and make some work in all it's different forms and I am very happy to be doing so…..Happy January everybody.
