I have been bad, not much posting this month. We had a bit of a scare with my mom, so rushed over to see her in the hospital, she live on the Sunshine Coast, which you have to take a ferry to. My brother and his wife were planning a visit from Hong Kong, and bumped it up a little earlier.
Well the long and short we have to find a care home, she will not be allowed to drive her car, so hopefully we can get a place closer to here, so I can see her more often.
It's so hard when parents start loosing their independance, she has lived in the same place for over 20 years.
So before all this happened, do you believe I actually finished a couple of paintings, and just put the varnish on Friday, so it was great to get back into painting again, after our lovely summer.
One of the paintings I did a dark background of a still life of some of my favorite things and a bouquet of flowers from the garden.
The other is of a owl called Staring at You, using texture and Tracy Moreau's stencil's (love them).

Well that's about all the drama in my life, so will tune out for now, but promise to be back more often.
Take care and add some creativity into your life!

Well I can't beleive fall is just around the corner. The trees are turning already, some of the fall birds I hear chirping. We here at home have had the sunniest summer I can remember. Very dry and hot. The light has been wonderful.
Well I have started a project using one of my boquets from the garden and I thought I would try something a little different, more color (thats a change for me) and a dark background. I have gotton the composition drawn up, placed on the canvas and the back ground colors are in. I ordered some lovely stencil from Tracy and can't wait to try them out. If your looking for old world type, decorative styled stencils, check out her web site at http://www.tracymoreau.com. She has a great selection.
Well I am off to take some pics, hoping you all are having a great summer, before the kids are back at school!
