Studio Update: New shows and a painting video.

It's been a busy week! With Wynnum Uplate last night and the opening of a new handmade boutique yesterday, I've been kept busy getting some work together for a few new exhibitions. Below is a photo of each show and how it's been hang.



 I had a chance to pick up a brush and work some more on 'He Loves Me' this week. It's coming along slowly. I'm happy with the direction it's going in.  I also have a little treat for you...


...yesterday for P&P, I filmed myself painting this work! I also shared a full list of the paint colours I used, If you are keen to see them click ==> here.  Talking about P&P, I've decided to change things up with the blog party, you now have until Wed. 5pm AEST each week to submit your entry and every Thursday there will be a weekly showcase of the previous weeks entries, even more reason to join the fun! 



This week I had a very special studio visit from a local lady, she purchased these two birdies to add to her collection. It's wonderful to know they are going to a fantastic home where they will be treasured.

    Great video Trace and loved seeing you work... It was interesting seeing how you laid them all out on the palette and then how quickly you worked.... even not speeded up that would have been a quick sitting... looks great as always though...xx

    Your painting is so gorgeous. I have trouble getting videos on blogs. Something fouls up so I just don't click. However, maybe after I have had time to visit everyone I'll come back to view since I do so love your style.
