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

Yay a bit of good News

Opened my Emails this morning and this was the firsts sentence of the first Email I opened.

“Congratulations! Your artwork has been selected for the 2011 finalists’ exhibition, from which the overall winner will be chosen! There was a very high calibre of work and it will be a wonderful exhibition.”

I am so pleased, as this is the third time I have entered the exhibition, I did not make the cut last year. So Yay to me.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all, I would like to thank all the people that have taken the time to read and follow my blog. The end of last year came up real fast and I had projects unfinished and not started but this is a hole New Year completely unmarred and a clean canvas for all.

I have also taken the time to make a list of some of the goals I would like to achieve this year and the first is to keep my Blog up to date more often and try to make it more interesting for the people that take the time to read it.

I went in to my studio to clean it up a bit, a bit of a slow start in the morning and found my self playing with the inks instead of cleaning ended up make a couple of monotypes.

So with all that said here is the first monotype of the year
