Hello all
Aplogies for the lack of updates and the fact that I have been missing in action. I managed to trap the sciatic nerve in my hip at the beginning of March and have only just got back into the swing of things. If you’ve ever done it you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not – imagine a nest of wasps have set up home inside your hip joint!
Now you’re getting it!
Mmmm, so not much concentration going on for about 6 weeks. then we had a weekend away on the Orient Express – more about that in a future blog.
Now I’m on full form and firing on all cylinders. So much so I’ve had a little overhaul on the web site – a new front page and a brand new step by step area. Go check it out, but come back tomorrow for my latest work and an exciting new project.
Yesterday I attended my first cat show!
It was the Southern British Shorthair Show at Addlestone in Surrey and as I am owned by a British Shorthair myself I didn’t know where to look first. They are such beautiful cats in an amazing palette of colours as you can see from Poppy here…but more of her later.
Setting up
My lovely husband packed the car for me at 6:30 am while I prepared some lunch to keep me going. As ever I had decided to take the kitchen sink just in case.
I don’t know about you, but when I was a child I went everywhere with a suitcase full of felt tips and crayons and pencils and paints…it’s still a bit like that now.
So it’s not surprising that 8 trips to and from the car later I had managed to set up. The organisers had placed me in the foyer just infront of the results frame, an ideal spot really.
There is so much happening right now it’s crazy!
Well I can’t spend all day chatting – I have an assignment to finish ;0)
Well Happy New Year to all of you!
I have just enrolled on the Pet Portraiture diploma course run by the London Art College. It’s a 12 month course, although I think the pace of your work will ultimately dictate the length of the course, and is distance learning.
I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in as the content looks fab. I’m used to distance learning with the Open University for business and computing courses, so doing something art related is a real welcome change!
Right I’m off to find some still life in the kitchen…

Hello and welcome to my blog.
This is my first ever blog and I’m quite excited!
I have recently launched my new website and when I first thought about adding a blog I wondered what I could possibly say…but that soon passed ;0)
So I’m gonna jump right in with this week…It’s only Wednesday and it’s been so busy already.
I’m in my last year of an Open University course (BSc Hons open degree) and yesterday saw my penultimate exam, so up until yesterday my art has taken a back seat, but now I’m all set to increase my portfolio.
