In the shadow of the mountain

I’m really looking forward to the first art group of the New Year, to meet up with artist friends at a friend’s studio. Her studio is right under a mountain range and puts on a different mood each day, it’s a great day working, talking, sharing ideas plus we have a marvellous pot luck lunch. The only down side of the day is when we have to pack up and drive home, but we came start to looking forward to the next time haha.

A little bit of this and of that

I have been playing with some more non-toxic metal salts etching on aluminium.

I just love the way that you came etch a metal plate and make a print out of odds and sods that you have all ready in your kitchen cupboards and garden shed.

Family and Friends

Well that’s a good start to the New Year my studio and myself were hijacked for the week. My wife and a friend decided that I was going to run an impromptu Acrylic paint texture workshop. It went very well and we had a lot of fun and ended up with same nice pieces each. So it goes to show that the best laid plan can all ways be retract at this time of year when you have friends around hahaha but its always nice and fun
