New painting


The season is slowly starting to change here in Auckland. The days are getting cooler and shorter and I am now finding myself wanting to spend some more time in the studio, where it is cosy and warm. Ah bliss! My husband and I converted one of the spare bedrooms for my space to be creative. Here are a few pics for you.



Such a tidy desk, but it doesn't stay like that for long!


My favourite book at the moment.



I had an excellent week last week, I finished my triptych painting called ‘Morning Light’.



Here are the individual canvases that make-up the triptych.







Also I finally set-up my facebook business page. Please go over there and have a look. I’m not quite sure why I didn’t do this sooner as it was so easy to do. But I think it is just getting used to the idea of everyone seeing my artwork, as I am very private person. Having a blog and business page is quite an achievement for me. My next step is to set up my ETSY shop so that I can start selling my prints. 
And for my May Flower Challenge. I have some photos that I took at the Wintergardens in the Auckland Domain. This has to be one of my favourite places to visit as it is such a visual delight for me. I take far too many photos but here are just a few.





Its funny after uploading my photos I realise I have an obsession with pink. People who know me know that I don’t even like the colour pink! But I just love these flowers no matter what colour they are.
