Day #10 well, sort of…
Hmm… Yes, I know what you’re thinking “what happened to thirty days of blogging in a row?” Well that’s OK because I’m asking myself the same question! What has happened? All my good intentions have flown out the window and took a sabbatical I’m afraid. Good news they’re arriving back to their coops as I [...]
Day #9 Struggling…
Well today was actually meant to be day #12 but obviously, a few things have gotten in the way of that happening! But never mind – this isn’t meant to be a condemning practise, but a renewal and re-falling in love with my blog. I suppose, like all good solid relationships we go through ups [...]
Day #8 1000m2
For the past nine months, a group of artists and members of the local community arts association ACDC has been meeting together to organise an exhibition of new fresh works from local artists. The theme was 1000m2. Artists were prompted to seek inspiration from within 1000m of their studio doors. The opening night was last [...]
Day #7 On Gratitude…
On my bedside table at the moment are a couple of great books. both awesome, both challenging and both full of aha’s and tears. One is Vula Bevalile – Letters from a Young Doctor by Maithri Goonetilleke and the other, Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. Maithri’s book is a collection of letters written whilst [...]
Day #6 The best kind of mail
I have a confession to make. My name is Donna and I’m an art-bookoholic. I have to really work hard at disciplining myself not to buy gorgeous art books, but every now and then I can’t help myself! Today, my latest splurge arrived – but it’s all for the business right! These two are [...]
Day #2 Exhaustion and Inadequacy
I just spent 20 minutes typing out something that sounded more like unintelligible ramble than well crafted prose. So I just hit delete and, gone. Now what? Sometimes my thoughts just don’t come. Do you ever feel like this… You read someone elses ramblings – be it a blog post, magazine article or something and [...]
Earth and Water
Although I haven’t painted a lot of landscapes, the ones I have done I’m really proud of. They come from my experiences of living up north in the Kimberley and Northern Territory regions of Australia. It’s a land of striking contrast – summer rain, winter dry, huge expanses of land as far as the eye [...]
Birdie Shin-Dig
I’m so excited to share this with you – my latest repeat pattern called “Birdie Shin-Dig” Isn’t it cute! I’m planning on making a collection with this in it, so stay tuned! I started drawing birdies during the ad-breaks watching a Harry Potter re-run last night ( I do love myself a bit of HP) [...]
Here’s to You…
Hello! How are you? Have you managed to side-step the dread flu lurgie? I hope so… Unfortunately we haven’t, and so the past 5-6 weeks has been all about getting through, slowing down, nurturing, hot water bottles, and warm soups… But thankfully that is all behind us now. I don’t think I’ve ever had the [...]
In Just Six Words…
Here’s my 6 word memoir. It took me a while to pin down exactly the right words to suit me. They may change, but they feel comfortable for me now… What’s yours?
