A bit of art again.

Or maybe I should re- phrase that to read… “Where I clean up my art studio/playroom so I can do some art again”

So far it has taken a whole day just to get to the stage where I can walk across the room and gaze with pleasure onto my huge art table, and the empty space that is urging me to forget the rest of the room and MAKE SOMETHING!

I’ve been totally inspired by THIS LINK Scroll down til you see the “unwritten book” gallery.

Wildgoosechase…uses these little arrangements/collages, as a 10 minute warm up when she first starts her day.

Aren’t they beautiful? So while sorting and tidying my STUFF I decided I could do with a bit of motivation to start my day off too.

Well now of course I don’t want to stop..

I have discovered that  1/it isn’t as easy as it looks.

2/ Composition is like water…and runs away whenever you try to hold on to it…

3/ all my early efforts look mostly like hers

..so I won’t show you what I’ve done yet, but will wait until I can see my own style emerging.

Thank you to those who have expressed an interest in the Nina Bagley art retreat next year. We just need to pin down the date, and get a web site up and running and we can start to take registrations. Spread the word, because we need 10 people wanting to take the class before we can confirm it.
