Decided to let this one go

I found this watercolour when I was searching for something else.

I painted it in 1998 but somehow it never got put into a frame.

So I decided to list it in my shop

It's Definitely Red Today!

The colour red has never been an easy colour for me

either to paint with

or even to wear (although people think I'd suit red because of my dark hair

wel, it used to be dark haha)

so I decided to push it and ended up with this painting

mixed media on canvas paper

FLOWERS ARE RED

It's So Hard

I came to a decision last night that I would make a start on de-stashing my vast fabric hoarding!!

I've had a passion for fabric which started when I was young and some have even been to Australia and back!

I opened the cupboard today and just looked at the beautiful fabrics through the see-through plastic boxes

and I just couldn't do it.

I am definitely going to try harder, but not today....

Happy New Year and New Painting

Although I've been quiet for a couple of weeks, I have been painting when I had time.

I've had a lovely time over Christmas and New Year with the family, ate too much and drank my fair share of champagne!!

But now things have returned to normal and I even tidied up my art room and found the table again haha!

So here's the first painting of 2012 now on Etsy
