Framed Pretty Girls
Hi. Just been to The Little Gallery today where two of my paintings are currently being exhibited. Thought it would be sweet to share some images of them here on my blog. Anna, the lovely owner also has available some limited edition giclee prints of my girls. Things are looking rosy, have also booked a slot for 2011 to have an exhibition there – whoo hooo!! Had better get planning now!

Daffodils in Vase. Tissue, acrylic and gutta. 30cm x 40cm on MDF board.
Oh My! Nearly 2 months since my last post. So much has happened. I have purposely been trying to take life a little more slowly so made a conscious decision not to worry about my blog but to adjust gently to the move with a ‘come what may’ attitude. And so……. we came, and so did life and lots has occured. We got here in Derbyshire at the end of May, and it is a pretty place. I do love it here. The children are settling well into the Steiner school (with a few bumps along the way, but I think that is expected), and we too are adjusting as parents to the changes. I don’t for a minute have any doubts that we have done the right thing. Our kids seem to have become ‘fuller’ and so much more of themselves already. They’re growing well with their new challenges.

Sea of Boxes!
Well, all this talk but it has finally begun happening. We’re in the joyous throws of moving house! (Quick snapshot from my Mac Book – Why doesn’t i-photo have a ‘flip image’ option?) I am literally using every hour of my waking day in which to pack while Jamie stays on top of our family business. My hands are sore, and so is my throat from disturbing so much dust (yes I do have dust in my house you know – don’t be shocked!). The boxes are mounting up and we will be heading South to Derbyshire over the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend. Read more…

Tennis Player. 6" x 4" Acrylic on Canvas.
Aye Up! (As we say here in Yorkshire!) It’s been a busy last two weeks. The house move continues and we are set to be gone on or before the 29th of May to Derbyshire/Notts, even though we still officially have no-where to live! We have seen something we like and are working on securing that, which will be lovely if we get it – right next to a park for the kiddy winkles.

The Bradford Lot!
The Extended Bradford Lot!
So, it has been Easter. I’ve done very little on the art front since it has been school holidays and I have had my little gremlins to tend to. It has been a welcome break to not have to rush all the time and it has been a real pleasure to spend time with friends whom we have not seen for a while. It will probably be the last time we see some of our Yorkshire friends before our move to Derbyshire/Notts, although we still don’t have a date yet, and still don’t know where we are going! If all goes smoothly it will come into fruition probably within the next month. Read more…
