Warwick Art Gallery Visit :)

My favourate :)

I had a couple of hours to kill during the holidays with Lisa's kids and Josh after they went to the movies so I ended up taking them to the Warwick Art Gallery... It was amazing what they had on display...

There was woodworking that had been done by people from the Woodworking Club in Warwick as well as Paintings that had been done by the Warwick Painting Group. That's what I call the groups anyway. If they are different then I am sorry for misnaming them. Was wonderful to see so much local talent...

Naomi Potter who did the teaching on drawing was in there allot as well :)

Drawing Adventure...

Naomi out the front bringing us her lesson for the week :)

Just wanted to share a photo of where I do my drawing classes this and next month :) Ever Thursday I go there and have a wonderful time learning... Have had two classes now and am trying really hard to compare my drawing to myself and not anyone else's... Everyone else is soooo far ahead of me so this is important to me...

I am learning each time I go and making sure that during the week I practice what I am taught. :)

My adventure continues...

What are you doing today???

Hope I have time to paint today. Missing it...

Yesterday I treated myself to a pedicure in town. Love it when I get a chance to do that. Today though I need to bake two loaves of bread, bake a heap of muffins with pear as well as carob and make yoghurt chicken for dinner.

Russell comes home tonight and I can't wait to see him. I like to have a nice meal ready for him for when he walks in the door. I know he appreciates it also so easy to do. :)

So today my day consists of using my Thermomix allot, hanging out washing and bringing in washing, folding and putting it away. I will also try and get some painting in there as well... Quick sweep of the floor and I am done for the week. :)

Painting...

My table all set up, ready to go... :)

This week one of my jobs that I had on my 'list' of things to do was my painting table. I had arranged it ages ago just how I wanted it but with time it had things put on top of other things and ended up looking worse than a dog's breakfast. It was time for action...

Not only did I dust it all and wipe it all down but I decluttered while I was at it. I gave three recycle bags worth of things this morning to Lifeline. They saw me coming and smiled... Yes I had been there a lot these last few weeks. :)

So now I have all my brushes set up properly. I really need to get back into painting. I have not done any really for the last 2.5yrs. Since we moved out here. Always something else to do...

Now that things are settling down, I am going to make time for it. And I have started. Took things things and did one base coat. Out of three that is not bad and a start... :)

Gettin Crafty...

Have had an itching going on at my place. I can't wait to finish going through the whole of Timothy's room and decluttering it madly as we 'speak' so that I can get on with my painting table. I can't wait to get it in order so that I can do more stuff like in my piccies... I love having these around the house to show me that I can do it but really, really need to get back into it all. I have not really done anything since leaving Brisbane so it is time...

Hopefully that will happen within the next couple of weeks. Only have a little left to go on Timothy's room and getting more ruthless with his stuff as I go along. Hope he likes the end results...
