Long time since I've updated blog. Have been busy getting married and burying my dad. Sadly, he died 2 days after wedding, when we were on honeymoon, but all that's over now and I hope to get on with painting.
One of the last things he said to me was that I should stop "wasting my life" and "paint some proper paintings." He said he thought I wasn't using my talents at all and I know that he was right. My son & daughter in law are about to move out of our house (after 6 years!) and so (after honeymoon discussions with new husband) I'm going to turn their room into a proper studio. Half my problem right now is that any artwork has to be put away or one of the 7 cats will sit on it, play with it or leave muddy pawmarks over it. To have a room of my own will be untold luxury.
So I shall post up artwork and offer for sale if necessary. I would really like to be able to pass on teaching skills too, so please ask any questions re materials or techniques, if I don't explain at the time.
