a lot of colourful work in progress in the studio...
working, practicing, learning.
Outing
last friday
we hired some beach cruisers
and off we went exploring
Durban's beachfront promenade...
moody skies, holiday makers, high-rises...
a touch old fashion...
such fun to be tourists in our own city for a day.
Next step...
baby steps...
the 3 ladies, next steps,
patience and trust...
new backgrounds,
letting go and daring...
learning
;)
Feminine inspiration
today i am loving
the work of illustrator Katt Frank
i love her style,
the fine lines,
the mix of photography and drawings.

In the studio
some days, for me,
painting feels down right daunting...
yet there is an urge to be in the studio,
show up and be creative.
on those days nothing feels better than
to let loose
and create some colourful, crazy backgrounds
new beginnings.
Synchronicity
last night i watched and loved this TED Talk video
and today after chatting about education,
my sister in law sends me this video...
merci Sissi ;)
french version here
too much synchronicity to ignore!
Change of plans
the other day i couldn't decide
whether i was going to do
this online class
and now i've committed to this one...
it just happened...
crossed my path and spoke to my heart.
now i'm on a one year journey with Juliette Crane!

Around here
my husband has been away for almost 2 weeks.
i miss him terribly;
i've been living like a little "monk".
loads of studio time, very little kitchen time...
charcoal + ink drawing
and this weekend i went away
with the most amazing bunch of women
and i had my love/fun tank completely filled!
we laughed, we connected, we ate cake out of the dish,
we had deep conversations,
we had beauty, nature, the ocean...
and we played, and we ate and we chatted some more...
THANK YOU my wonderful friends!
i am SO grateful to have you all in my world!
Learning
about a month ago i decided it's time
to take out my oil paints once again.
oils and i have a complicated love/hate relationship...
my greatest motivation though was that
my dear friend and super talented teacher and artist
opened her studio for lessons
(here is a really bad photo of the studio, better ones to come soon)
and am i pleased i took the plunge!
i am learning SO much.
Roz is teaching us about layering, glazing, scumbling...
here is a peek at my two paintings in progress:
learning
;)
Not finished...

and changed it to a goat!
am i totally pleased with it?
not sure yet...
