1. Autumn Gold


Back to the drawing board for an artist means catching up on advances in digital imaging, even if one would rather stay fixed on brush and paint. So many things are possible now that once looked like magic, or at least  the sole proprietorship of boffins and computer geeks. So I am back to school, in a way, online and learning new things that first confound and then delight.
In addition to my illustration work I teach classes in watercolour painting. The picture above is from one of my recent lessons.

3. Owning a Poodle Puppy is a Teacher's Job

IT frustrating? I am not sure if patience is my strongest attribute but perseverance may well be. I have battled with my printer for years and every now and then I spend yet another hour or 2 or 3 trying to make it do what I need. I finally had victory this morning after another 2 hours of frustration and search the internet for troubleshooting. I figured it out, adjusted all the settings

4. I have Puppies on my Mind

I adopted a new baby two days ago. My 12 week old Toy Poodle is the apple of mummy's eye and in the spirit of this week's new arrival I did a watercolour for a friend’s 50th artist collection piece. Our Valley 10 group all have a collection of paintings from each member, received for one of their big "0" birthdays. I received my collection of paintings when I was 30. Christine is the last and

5. Affordable Paintings for Hurting People

The most wonderful aspect of God is his heart to give good things to his children. He does this through those who are led by their hearts and make an effort to reach out to others. The world is so full of need and regardless of what beliefs you have we should all do more to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I have another website now set up for the purpose of transforming paintings

Our little people (children) feel so small at times. Take the time to stop and notice them. Eye contact is a communication skill we all need to adopt more. When a child has your full attention it says "You are important to me, more important than anything else"

8. What scares me the most

I am SCARED but am so going to try to do this but I am terrible usually doing a daily project everyday over a long period if I am not being paid. I am always cramming. This is a great idea to brainstorm ideas for manuscripts. It can be as small as a heading but gets you going (a bit like a blank canvas I guess). The signup date is closed now but anyone who wanted to try it still could do it
