Until next time...

My year so far.......
It's been a while since I posted and no, I don't have any paintings to show for it. I know.......shame on me! I have been busy with school holidays here and, dare I say it, I've been blissfully enjoying the fact that I don't have to follow a routine. We've been taking it day by day and lovin' it! I completed a jigsaw that I had bought for my 8 year old son for his birthday (Dec 23rd). I knew it would be too advanced for him at 750 miniscule pieces but it was a picture of harp seals and he loves those. I also thought it would be a good family project which it was because everyone helped add some pieces, even though I was left on my own to finish it after the halfway mark. It took just over a week to complete and now I plan to frame it for Aaron's room.
Another bit of news I have to tell you is that we now have a new addition to our family. His name is Cody, a Shih Tzu X Chihuahua hybrid and he's absolutely adorable!!! He's 8 weeks old and keeps us all on our toes. I can't believe it's been nearly nine years since I've had a dog! I still miss my little toy poodle, Brandy. I can't believe I now have another dog to love and cherish! Can you tell I'm excited??!!! There's no doubt that Cody will show up in some of my future paintings.

Some of my art
Today, I managed to get some Christmas shopping done! YAY! Lately, it's been very hot and humid but, after a severe storm swept through yesterday afternoon, we have been blessed with a cool change. I doubt it will last for long though. I haven't painted this past week but I did teach final classes for the year.
For now, I thought I'd post a few of my paintings so you can see what style of art I'm into. I love realistic art so try to achieve this to some degree in my paintings. The kookaburra, Bird of Paradise and Hibiscus are my favourite paintings to date. The frangipani painting was done recently as I've been in frangipani decorating mode and wanted a painting for my ensuite.
I haven't been feeling all that well the past few days but I'm hoping to start a new painting soon. Mind you, Christmas is almost here including my son's 8th birthday on the 23rd so finding any time to paint at all may be wishful thinking.
