Been a very quiet time, but I really am appreciating the time to slow down and take a respite, to just be in the moment and appreciate all the small joys each day brings.
Have just completed my second chemo and have lost my hair, feel embarassed to be even worried about such vanity but you really do still feel the same, your spirit is intact and untarnished.
Energy is low but still manage to draw the ideas and read /research ideas, and in the future these paintings will come in with a hiss and a raw!!! Even began a journey!
Have been accepted for the Original Art Show and paintings are ready for Easter Show, it has to be work from the current year so its great that i am usually so prolific because I had finished some special ones from plein air painting of trees at Wendlehlom and local trees at Stanmore Bay.Also
working on spontanous pieces that I do just for me to get the emotions out, very raw, direct and simple, they come from the place of nothingness so don't have to be important, or to have an end result but actually really like them, often finished off with drawing on top of the canvas.
Funnily enough I have sold everyone people have seen so life sure is full of surprises...

Painting everyday!!!!!!!
Have been delighted that I have been able to get into the studio and do more than
Think and Look!
Its been along time since I have had that energy,
sometimes it felt like that creative part was GONE but its been 10 years since activity level has gone so low, but even during surgery and recovery I did manage to potter and at least draw.
Now I have 18 weeks of chemo and was daunted to think I wouldn't get any thing done, for all that time, definitley not patient!
But have found that pottering every morning in the studio has been very productive, its as though I use my time more effectively or maybe see what needs to be done very clearly.
Put 3 pieces into the Estuary Show in the end, including one that got slashed
and ripped until it said what it had to say.
Now resolving some unfinished pieces, as well as working on this new series of people in front of a Stain Glass Windows, medieval looking ,great black contrasts .
Working on one today with all the late fall of summer and the carpet of Pohutakawa, green and red in vivid display, fabulous !
