Drinks + Paintbrushes

Well I've had a busy couple of weeks with painting and the children. My daughter has found a love for painting now too :) She's only 2 and I think she's a very good painter already, but I might be a little biased! hehe,
Here's a butterfly she painted the other day:
In the process of painting her pictures she also managed to paint her face and arms. All part of the creative process though! :D

While she was painting her things I was painting mine. I have lots of orders, quite a nice steady flow at the moment. It's great being busy, but my social life is pretty much non-existent! Not that I'm complaining ;) I'm going to have a break for my birthday next weekend. Me and my partner are off to Thorpe Park while my parents have my 2 little ones. Going to be great being able to sleep through the night! Haha. Can't wait!!

Anyway I bet you're wondering about the title of today's blog? Well if not, you are now! Ha.
Basically I can not stop dipping my paint brush into my drink when I'm working. You think I would learn wouldn't you? My friend came up with a brilliant solution though; using a cup with a lid and a straw.  Now all I need is a solution to me trying to drink my brush cleaning water...

Now for some more pics of some artwork :)




You can see more photos of my various works on my Facebook page [Link]
On my Facebook page I've nearly reached 1000 fans!! Unbelievable! ^_^ I'm quite proud really. Well due to this astounding fact I am going to hold a competition when we do get to the big 1000!! More details will come in the next blog entry, how to enter and what the prize will be etc. I hope you'll enter :)

That's enough for now I think! Mwah!
Speak soon dreamers!

Long time no update!

Gosh I've neglected this blog haven't I? Tut tut.
Well I have been rather busy with my little ones. They've both had chicken pox (bad cases), but are fully better now. Glad it's all out the way. So now I am catching up on my orders.

I've got lots of ideas bouncing around in my head. Need more time in the day to try and get everything done. He he. I have managed to create one of my ideas though:
Presenting Port-hole Canvas'

This is a round canvas painted to look like a view from a port-hole. Some friendly sea creatures swimming by to say hello :) A new way of having an under-water themed room. I will be doing a whole line of these type of paintings as well as any custom orders you  might want. Other ideas for these are deep sea view, with glow in the dark jelly-fish and other deep sea creatures. Don't fancy a trip under the sea? How about outer-space? Planets, stars and astronauts will make a great view from a rocket window. I also have some more ideas up my sleeve, so keep a look out!

I have also done some tiny canvas paintings. Great little additions to any room if you haven't got a huge space to work with. Can be bought separately or as a set. Here is an example:

Hope you like :)


As usual I have been doing my most popular items, door plaques. Here is a couple of new designs I have created recently.



Well that will do for now, I think! I promise to try and update much more regularly. ^_^
