How much fun can one person have whilst painting?  Answer... tons :)  Having rearranged the studio a little this morning (to be nearer the radiator!), a new canvas has found it's way onto the easel for the next painting to be drawn out.  It's very encouraging to have  three pieces grabbing my attention. 

I have a little notebook next to me to jot down all the interesting ideas that seem to be tumbling into my head, sometimes just titles, sometimes narrative, often finished paintings that require a little artistic note, all great stuff.

It was quite blissful sitting in the studio this morning, beautiful Northumbrian sunshine streaming in through the window, if you squinted hard enough you could nearly imagine it was approaching spring.  Well, that's probably thrown a spanner in the works! 
I do love the spring, all the daffodils and lambs and of course my birthday, that truly is the start of a new year for me and always fills me with so much enthusiasm for the year ahead.  I'm looking forward to sharing lots of new bright bubbly paintings with you over the coming months, although a few will be kept locked away, just to tantalize you a little :)

On that note I shall go back to the easel now the next layer of paint has dried and endeavour to bring the ladies out of hiding.

Chat to you again soon,
