Amazingly enough, I have actualy got a few minutes to update! Not that much has gone on since the last update. Got three exhibition invites though, 2 in April and one in May, so now I am frantically trying to sort out which paintings I can submit. Two of the shows are new ones and I am really pleased about one in particular. It's in a village not ( Read more... )

In the wake of the minor success I've had in the past couple of weeks selling my work on E-bay I decided to take the plunge and open a shop on there! I will be selling off some of the work I've shown this year at a reduced rate, mainly in order to shift it, because you can't move in my house for paintings any more! Oh to be able to open my own ( Read more... )

Just got a call about another craft fair, this time in Suffolk, quite a drive away, but I said I'd do it anyway. That's 3 fairs in the next 2 months! Not bad. And there I was thinking the winter months would be a time to relax a bit! Still...I love it ( Read more... )

Still, I have much running about to do today, so can't really sit here that long! Tom is out on an excursion all day ( Read more... )

I am sitting here watching our collared doves as they build a new nest in one of our lilac trees right in front of this window! They are such devoted birds and come back every year, but this is the first year the nest has been built in our garden! The female is sitting at the nest site and the male keeps flying back to her with straw in it's mouth ( Read more... )

I feel sad today ( Read more... )

( It all just goes RIGHT! )

I had intended to write about an art exhibition I had a letter about today, but I just read my Flist and the first thing I saw was Marc's journal saying he had completed his new album and had posted tracks on his website! So I had to stop what I was doing and go listen to them! Bloody hell...but he has surpassed himself this time! The tracks he ( Read more... )

Great....from donkey to phallic sausage for a car! Hmmmmmmm!
