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.

  8. 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.
