Being "happy busy"
I’ve had a good day – I love that 🙂

I finished off a couple of paintings, managed to take decent photos of them, etc and load them onto my Etsy shop. I feel like I accomplished stuff today. Yahoo!

Here are the works I loaded up – both celebrating New Zealand and its wonderful landscape, but in two very different ways…

Fluffing round on a Sunday
Playing with photos in Photoshop – not wanting to learn too much yet, just the basics for now.

still working on my lines
I’m off to Wellington in a couple of days to look at the exhibition space we’ll be using for the end of term exhibition. In the meantime I’m just keeping on with my lines and shadows.

Seeing the world through curious eyes
I think *really* looking is the key to making art. Seeing the world with interested eyes, looking for colour, pattern and form. Recently we looked after a friend’s farm for a few days and I spotted this colourful character in the orchard.

How do YOU see yourself?
I got behind the camera and what did I see?

Greying hair
Tired eyes
43 year old problem skin
Too many chins
Chipped nail polish

But hang on, what else do I see?

A loving wife
A daughter who has been caring for her mother for 8+ years
A sister, auntie and friend
A good employee who knows she is valued by her employers
An artist, scrapbooker, photographer, fabric artist

How do you see yourself? Are you kinder to others than you are to yourself? Probably!

Why not be kind to yourself this weekend – I bet you deserve it.
