A Painting Frenzy...

This heading best describes my life at present. I am in a painting frenzy and have just started painting number fourteen to sell at a market stall in nine days. No pressure. At. All.

These paintings will either be sold individually or as a set.

I seem to be a lover of sets, hence why painting number fourteen was started. I am also hoping to do a fifteenth painting just so I have some individuals to sell.

The market I will be at is called the Markets of Hope. I will share more details when next on a PC, or you can click on the top link on my
sidebar, of head over to my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/AppleTreeArtbyPaula).

Latest Work in Progress...

The arrival of a larger TV screen in our lounge room a couple of months back, and the removal of my old, old, old entertainment unit, I now have a big empty space on my wall that needs to be filled.  Enter in a 60cm x 90cm (24" x 35") blank canvas, an idea to include a Swiss Cheese Plant leaf and some palette paint, and the result is the painting below:

I still have A LOT of work to do on it yet as I have all these ideas in my head but not enough free time to get them on the canvas.  Suffice to say that the Swiss Cheese Plant leaf idea may be tossed out the window, a gray cockatiel may be added and also some black and orange butterflies.  And as I'm yet to perfect mixing aqua/turquoise paint, I have to master that before adding it.

Stay tuned for more WIP updates!

Helping Others Unleash Their Creativity and Inner Artist...

On Saturday just gone, I had the pleasure of hosting an all day art session for my friend Jo at Princess Warrior Lessons. Last Christmas I was stuck for gifts to give to a few of my friends, so I gave them a gift certificate that allowed them to spend a day with me to unlease their creativity and inner artist. Jo posted on her day with me over at her blog page. Please pop on over and read here and find out how she took a plain canvas and went home with a painting to hang on her wall that night!
