Latest update on my move. I've just about finished packing my house and have even taken three car loads of smaller things to my new unit, with the help of two super, super ladies!!

So, yesterday I sat here and thought I'd just take a quick look at the ACEO paintings I'd started but couldn't seem to finish a few weeks ago. Before I knew it, I'd finished three of them!!!....lol

This break has given me 'fresh eyes'! It all looks fresher to me even after this short amount of time; and seeing it'll probably be another few days before I have time to paint again, hopefully my eyes will be able to see even more than ever before! By the time the move is complete, I'll definately be ready to start anew and hopefully my art will only get better and better!!

This is going to my year!!!

Cheers Joá

Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you to all of the amazing people who have been supporting my art over the past few years!!!! Your incredible words of encouragement have given me the inspiration to keep painting and strive to better myself every time I pick up a paint brush!

Over the next few weeks I'm not sure how many paintings I'll be able to squeeze in, if any, as I am moving house and with the packing and cleaning there won't be a lot of time to spare. Hopefully, not long after Easter I will be back on eBay with a whole new batch of paintings and a new enthusiasm for my art!

Where I'm moving to has a beautiful gardened courtyard that I'm sure will give me loads of inspiration. Actually the whole move has a good vibe as I've spoken a lady who once owned the property many years ago, and who said a huge amount of love once filled that house and that I should be very happy there!


I'm certainly hoping so!!!

So, please check back now and then, I'll be back as soon as I possibly can!

Cheers Joá

I don't know why I struggle so much when it comes to painting flowers? I certainly don't know why I keep going back to painting flowers either....lol....I suppose it's because I love flowers (all flowers) so much that I simply have to keep trying to master the art of painting them! My favorites would have to be the 'old fashion' flowers, Hydrangea, Frangipani, Tiger Lilies, Nasturtiums. It always makes me laugh when every now and then, they'll become 'In Fashion' flowers....lolol

The haystacks I found quite fascinating subject to paint. The scene seems calming in a strange sort of way.

I'm really going through an exciting stage when it comes to my painting. Adding people to land and seascapes is a challenge that I'm really enjoying!
