Welcome to my Blog~

I am keen to have ART in my life and enjoy all fundamentals of ART, the creative & social side of it.
Finding out the how's and what's of ART is so intruging to me.
Mixed media is my first love, collage, glueing, sticking ~ bringing the creation to life. Having Fun with Art :)
Then sketching, drawing & doodling ~ especially in the phone book:) Husband hates that.
I have enjoyed different concepts of Art from Book Making to Mosaics, Painting and sketching.
Just being creative leaves you with a wonderful feeling.

What A Great Workshop with Jenni Kelly !!!!!

26th ~ 28th September, 2008
"Funastic Acrylics"


Great group of ladies to spend 3 days with. Jenni, our tutor-LHS (orange shirt)

Enjoying Wine & Nibblies one afternoon together.

Funastic Acrylics ~ This workshop was fantastic with Jenni Kelly who introduced fellow artists to some very creative ideas with acrylics. We learnt to scrape, spray, fling,throw, roll and glaze PAINT, in other words "PLAY WITH ACRYLICS”, and leave the workshop with a greater understanding of acrylics and a new found confidence. The work was very impressionistic to abstract - Fun and Exciting.

My 1st workshop piece ~ (unfinished in the photo) abstract background with the sunflowers put in with a palette knife. I will post a photo later. Really enjoyed this piece :)


2nd piece - "Water Lillies" photo is unfinished, I will post the fineished artwork photo later.

My 3rd piece - "Poppies" (not sure why I went with the purple, it's unfinished)
