Google Adsense and Nonsense
realised that I talk about p a i n t so much in this blog that google is directing mostly ads about house p a i n t and houser p a i n t e r s to my site, when I want ads for art related stuff....things that would interest me and other art aware people. So from now on all references to p a i n t will be disguised and it's just Art art art art art workshops art galleries art materials artists ART art aRT arT Art

I Love Paint...
one of the reasons I paint...is because I love....PAINT :-).
& the brush is the wand that can transform any surface into something magical
I would like to say that I control my paints and brushes...but I don't -
they control me.
paint always has something new to teach me
day by day it reveals it's mysteries to me
it's a slow - at times painfully slow - process.
Just when I want to whip up something real quick,
theres a lesson in patience and perserverance.
My lastest painting "street" has been evolving over the last two days
it's just a little wee painting, doesn't even deserve all the attention it's been getting
hours and hours of work
layers and layers of paint
intricate subtle details
but whether it'll be worth all the time and effort??
we'll see
it's kind of a learning experience
discovering little wee new techniques and ways to apply paint.
I like my surfaces to have movement and life
to get as close as possible to the paint itself actually coming alive on the canvas
am just a beginner...just a newb in this
but it's a hellofalottafun!

Graffiti
I've been working on a painting tonight that looks a bit like a graffiti type print on fabric. I often create work that is stamped with the influence of other medias...from mosaic art -(LOVE the spanish artist/architect Gaudi!), to fabric art, street art and fashion. been watching the show "project runway" although I'm pretty lazy on the fashion front myself, LOVE the creativity of the designers and the fresh approaches they bring each week.
So tonights work is influenced partly by the New York scenes from Project runway, with a raw fresh treatment of paint and colour.
Once I wanted to do and try everthing - work with fabric, mosaics, sculpture, clothing etc. Now the focus is just paint, but with the love of these other mediums coming through my brush. In fact I love anything, vibrant, alive, innovative, exciting, fresh, creative...etc :-)

Celebration..(Party at my house)
The love affair with circles continues...this time I'm celebrating being at home and having the time and energy to paint!! :-), trying to make this my permanent lifestyle, working towards an exhibition and making the move to being a fulltime creative person.
(colours have come out a bit dark in this photo, will at some time in the future take a better pic).

CIRCLES
If you've been following my art for a while you may have worked out that I've got a bit of an obsession for circles.
From tiny little dots to canvas sized circles, I'll find any excuse to use circles in one form or another. Not sure just why I find circles so satisfying... But I DO!!
when you are a little kid circles are used to represent all those big things like the earth and the sun....(and pretty things like flowers).
The planets all move in a circular motion....clocks and time go round and round....
I just love the look of them, the feel of them...I like to decorate my circles and explore different textures and shapes in circular patterns. Most of all I like to play with circles.
come play with me :-)

Haven't done much art for a while, but have just stacked up on canvas's and paint and am about to launch into some new works.
The idea is to make art - which is my passion... my main work. So you are going to see me upping the production.
Some works will be lighter and more commercial ( I hope :-) , but still with my unique style and flavour.
Others will be deeper, very personal and possibly more challenging for the viewer.
I hope that the works will find an audience that appreciates genuinely original art
I plan to continue to use very vibrant colours in an intense way
...have the shades ready, or come to play!! :-)
(BTW - I have a new camera that hopefully will capture the colours and detail more accurately)
