Large canvas


I've just completed a 90 x 75cm canvas in acrylic with hand-beading. It's titled 'I'm like a bird'. As mentioned in my last post, it started off as an abstract of swirls but once the shapes were defined by the colours, my 'in-house' critics namely my husband and two kids pointed out that they can see a bird. Subsequently, I decided to name it after Nelly Furtado's song - I'm like a bird'. The title emphasizes the freedom I had when I was initially sketching the swirls on the canvas.

This canvas will be added to my website and for those who wish to purchase it, please click here

New mini canvases


I've just completed 5 mini canvases for my forthcoming Hawthorn Arts and Craft market stall. It's this Sunday, 3 June 2007 from 9am to 3pm.
In the meantime, I'm working on a very large canvas which started out as an abstract of swirls but has kind of ended up looking like an abstract bird. The colours used are rich - deep chocolate, pink, orange and green. At the moment, I am adding some beading to it.
So, watch this space - I hope to post a photo of it very soon.

Three Shoes


I've been a bit under the weather. Nothing major, just a sniffle and a head-cold but it didn't stop me from finishing my latest order for a very lucky girl named Michelle.
My brief was three paintings of shoes in lime green, pink and purple that's suitable for a 10 year old girl. I hope I've created something that will last longer than her teenage years.
Love to hear some comments because I am thinking of adding this new range to my website.

Canterbury Art Exhibition

The exhibition is now over but it was a fabulous even to be part of. Sadly, I didn't sell any but you may have a look at my two entries here.
If either of the ladies take your fancy, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I'm currently working on my latest commission for Mirjana, my favourite client. It's a set of three shoes and I can't wait to post the final result. I have completed the final drawings and will start painting very soon. I should have some images to post by late next week. Keep watching.

As for Mother's Day, it's still not too late to make a purchase or order.
