Studio Update: An inspiring week.

What an inspiring {yet hectic} week! I've been looking at the paintings of Carrick and Fox, can you tell? As I sit down to write this post late on Friday afternoon, I'm not sure where the week went, it seems like it was Monday morning a few days ago. Did your week go fast, or did it drag on?  Looking back on my week in the studio, I have achieved a fair bit, ticked some things off my ever growing list of tasks to do, which is always a good thing. Here is what's on the studio desk at the moment:



I quickly took some photos of both the artworks I've been working on at the stage they are right now. Because the paint is still wet {they both literally just come off the easels} and the light is fading they are not the best photos, but I just couldn't wait to share {impatient me}, and it is Paint Party Friday after all.



I think 'Valentine' {above} is done! I will have to wait until the morning and have a look at the painting with fresh eyes {not tired ones} to make the final decision.  It would be nice to say this one is finished though!



Again, not the best photo... I started this painting with it in mind to submit it for Inspiration Avenue's weekly challenge on 'What inspires you?'.  I'll see how I go tomorrow and this evening {if I get some time to work on it} as I'd like to have it finished before I put it up on the blog, there is still many things I'm not happy with, and those hands, have not even got a coat of paint yet!



Talking about inspiration, I set up a linky this week for artist to share their blogs and the blogs of others in order to get inspired and admired :) Feel free to go over and add your blog, I'd love to know what you do.

Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE

I just had to share with you this beautiful work by Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE. So delicate, painterly and what a brilliant use of colour.

Pinteresting Art

I've had a busy and refreshing week of spring cleaning, I got pre-occupied with tiding the house and studio and making it a bit more practical to live, work and entertain in the space. Do you ever notice once you start to tidy up one area, you really start to notice how messy the other areas are? It's all done now and I'm very happy with the result, we have a lovely guest room now and also a beautiful space outside to have a cuppa in the backyard!  So I just jumped online to get my fix of all things art, craft, design and cooking from Pinterest and I thought I'd share with you some interesting and inspiring art.
