How many cookery books...

I wonder how many cookery books you have?

I have a passion for them

and have to admit to having 118 at the last count

I'm always looking for something different to cook

and last night I wasn't sure what I felt like eating

so I got out my latest Dinner at Mine

by Annie Nichols

and made the most delicious tuna fish cakes

from a Sicilian recipe

and they were so so good.

What about you??

Zombie Boy Painting

I got a commission to paint

a zombie boy halloween style

for an eight-year-old's bedroom

hope it's not too creepy!!

Gut Art

I'm taking a class with Mystele's Gut Art

and it's very exciting

sometimes it leads where I don't want to go

but learning all the while to go with my gut instinct

Here are some of my paintings:

I struggled with this and I think it shows - out of my comfort zone!

Oils and oil pastels on wood

Halloween ACEOs

I made more but some are better in real life

than they photograph so I've left them out.

Here's 'Birdie'

I painted over something I wasn't too keen on

and like this much better

sometimes it can be a fearful experience

the devil you know etc.

Just catching up

I've been ill for more than a week

with an infection and then double whammy - the 'flu

This is the first day I can say that I'm feeling much better

SO

I will take a picture of my latest painting later today

AND

I'm in the mood for making creepy Aceos for Halloween

more news on that soon!!

Bloom True

I'm taking part in Flora Bowley's e-course

and it's revealing a part of me that I didn't know was there

It has taught me to work LARGE

Not to be afraid of failure
To just have fun
And that there's no wrong way

and lots of new techniques

Here's my first finished painting
