creative play, messy art

i've been wanting to do an abstract painting for my room for some time now

inspired by alisa burke,
out came my supplies and the messy art began

my favourite colour combo - blues, greens and purples

not quite finished yet...but close

a little softening with white and....VOILA!

on the wall in my bedroom


it was difficult trying to get an accurate photo so you will just have to trust me when i say that it looks much better in reality



simple, messy but effective

it felt so good to be painting again and i'm already planning the next one....

week 39 self portrait

week 39 in my 52 weeks of me project

here i am all geared up with my headphones and ipod shuffle just before i threw myself into an abstract painting session earlier today.   i was listening to a kinda new age/alternative group called - 'ENIGMA'.


ENIGMA has been around for many years and i love, love, LOVE their music!

expect to see photos of my finished painting very soon

Happy October!


october has arrived and it's a lovely time of year here in queensland, australia.  beautiful, warm days that aren't too hot or too humid.....yet!  my money plants (crassula ovata) have been flowering since june when i took these photos. i have them sitting at the front entrance to the house as it's supposed to bring good luck according to feng shui.  i love their plump leaves with the red edges!



my chilli plant is flowering and sprouting chillies again too...YAY!

aaron has been on school holidays over the past couple of weeks and we've been quite busy shopping, spending time at michelle's, watching movies at home, and generally kicking back.  he starts back at school on monday and i'm going to miss him.  one of the movies we went to see at the cinema was - 'RED DOG'.  an australian film based on a true story about a red kelpie dog who goes in search of his master and the people whose hearts he touches throughout.  it's set back in the 70's so it brought back a lot of memories for me.

aussie lingo, aussie humour, aussie mate-ship, 70's music.....LOVED IT and yes, i cried!  
it's definitely one i would watch again.
