Finally a new update and Art Interview.

Recently, I was asked to do a little interview about my Art by Kathy Crabbe.

You can have a read of that interview HERE

I will also be on the site in June for an artists Q (and) A, so if anyone is about in June, feel free to log in and ask me a question about my art or artmaking process, or anything you like really. This will be happening over at the Creative Soul Circle, which I am part of, its a great place for women to chat about creativity, spirituality and the like.

While I am here I thought I'd better do a quick update since I have not had the chance to for some time, since I have been so busy being a new mum.

After a long break from painting, I am happy to say that I have started a new piece on a large canvas too (what am I thinking, I know!) it is a little daunting getting back into painting after some time and I do feel somewhat rusty.

At the moment the only chance I have to paint is when my little boy, (who is now 1 year of age- how time flies!!) goes for his morning nap which lasts about 2 hours if I am lucky, so it may take me longer than usual to get this painting happening, so I don't know when my next update will be, but I will post when the work is finished.

New Fairy Painting!

This is my first painting for 2009.

Title: "The Lotus Pond Fairy"

Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas panel

Size: 15" x 18"

I was recently headed back home after my late afternoon walk and spotted an amazing pink lotus flower right next door to my place.

About a month earlier I noticed that my neighbour had a couple of strange looking pots filled with water and greenery in them, I had no idea that she was growing this gorgeous lotus and as I had never seen a real life lotus before, I found it so beautiful to look at.

So I took a few pictures which partly inspired this artwork. As the painting came together I felt like it had a symbolic meaning also.

"A storm has passed and just as the sun is making its way through receding clouds, the fairy that lives at the lotus pond is free to emerge and enjoy the beautiful pond again "

Mini update

I am currently working on a new fairy painting, its in the early stages so probably wont be finished for another week or so.

I should get a chance over the weekend to make some headway with it. I dont know where I got the motivation to start a painting yesterday it was sooo hot in Sydney around, 35degrees celcius and I just felt so sleepy all day, but I made a start on it so thats the main thing.

Also I wanted to share a treasury that I was put in today on ETSY, it is one of the nicest ones I have been in, its all owl stuff, and I LOVE owls. :)
