This blog post can only be described as a mixed bag!

Nearly finished...only highlights to go |
First off - a painting I recently completed (I've started about 20 since the painting weekend with
Flora Bowley). It is a small scale painting using learnings and inspiration from Flora's teachings (which are for large scale paintings). I've included a few progress photos (underneath the finished painting) to show how it developed. The last layers involved considerable use of stencils, masks and Tattered Angels Spray products!
I recently purchased this lovely collage from
Jen (over in the east) and it arrived in the mail on Friday.
I love the wrapping and the gorgeous laminated bookmarks Jen sent with it (almost as much as I love the collage)! I always have several books "on the go" so bookmarks are always appreciated around here.
And here are some of the many photos I took earlier in the week from the roof of Perth's Central Park building.

This is the new BHP building and it is going to be at least as tall as Central Park. I look out onto this building (from a lot lower down) and it is just fascinating watching a huge building get built!) You can see the shadow silhouette of our building in this photo. |
PS I was going to add captions to them all but just getting all the photos loaded has taken ages! Email me if you have any questions (Perth really is a pretty city).
