Yellow is most definitely My colour just now...Beautiful, Positive and Vibrant.
First I received word I have been accepted into the New Art Awards,
a national Competition and selection exhibition ,
with my Painting, "Dappled Light" 
A Painting with a full yellow sky inspired by the white villa on

 Stanmore Bay beach and Van Gogh's use of yellow.
What else says Sunshine more than a complete sky of glorious YELLOW!
So next thing I hear from a new website I have my work listed on.
www.discoverme.co.nz  I have sold a Painting "Sunshine and Birds"
With, you guessed it, the second Painting I have ever done with a full yellow sky
Its exciting to see a email and find someone in Palmerston North at 10pm on Sunday 
needed your Art at their house.
So we just need that yellow dress I ordered, in chiffon, in 5o's style to turn up in a parcel to complete my vibrant slash of that delicious bright primary colour. This week yellow but next week who knows where my mood will lead me...

"Best view , Best feeling..."

Sitting in the studio, looking out at the best view a studio ever had I reckon. Used to be a small unused deck once but Muzz closed it in and put these huge expensive windows in, it takes up two thirds of the wall . So its a small intimate space, great light and hey, no one else can fit but me! Its cool I am near everyone but tucked away. If visitors came they could miss the fact I'm even here. Can shut the ranch slider and its real quiet too. Though usually I have the Pink Floyd blasting…
 its a good day, have finished and entered the  Art Awards and now the best feeling an open slate…

Got a sweet textured surface there on one side or some nice gessoed driftwood to have a play with...
