Blog Break

Hi all,
 Hope all you UK dwellers have enjoyed the Easter Sun we have had, it has been lovely and must say most welcome after such a long winter. Bluebell has spent a whole lot of time at the beach playing in the water and hunting in the scrub adjacent to the river, so much so a half hour walk is taking more like an hour plus ! Yesterday was bath day for her as she came home with stiff fur all down her legs and her belly.....another nasty smelly patch of something for her to roll in !
 This will be my last post now for at least a week or longer, as moving day is imminent and we still have much to do,and plenty to do when we arrive at our new home so will catch up with ya all later.

Sketchbook fun.

Hi all,
       Thanks for all your recent comments, much appreciated as always. In between bouts of packing and clearing out I kept a little sketchbook handy so I could just doodle around with some pens when I had a few minutes spare. This is a sort of tangled fish theme and obviously not finished yet but I have had fun doing it and methinks it has given me some ideas for a larger piece. I will develop it when I can and post up another update if possible.

Fish and Paper Weights

Hi all,
      What a week so far, been busy clearing stuff out and making a few runs to the local recycling center...cannot believe how much stuff we have acquired in the past few years ! We have been quite harsh on what to keep and what not, as some of the stuff has been in the shed and not seen the light of day for a while and some of it was just bunged in there for storage, and at one point it was almost impossible to access them without wading through loads of stuff ! As I have gotten older I do find myself needing less in the way of material things, as long as I have my art stuff and books then I am a happy little soul !
       Packing is underway,which is the worst part I think, but on reflection because we have downsized so much that this will be the easiet move we have ever done and the last ! I expect everything to go to plan and should be in our new home by the end of April, but will be offline for a few days whilst we sort out the broadband etc. I am not very good with disruption and cannot wait to get my "artspace" sorted so I can knuckle down to some serious work, as most of my gear is packed now apart from some pencils which I am using on a current piece that really needs to be done before we go. However I did manage to snap a photo of few stones just recently finished which you can see above...just love working with that glitter paint!
      As moving time draws and things speed up, with limited time available posts will be when and if I can, so I hope to catch up with you all properly then and thanks for staying with me.
