Finished my commission painting.

I got asked by a friend on etsy to do a painting for her. She wanted something with an Angel, to celebrate children and their family. So this is the Angel that came to me, she is called the Angel of Family and Fertility. I used an organic pea pod shape with shapes in it to represent children and what they mean. I was nervous as to whether or not she would like it, but she does! I am so pleased :0

First prize!

I was part of the winning entry for the local agricultural show.

The WI (womens Intitute) I am a member of, put an entry into the Big agricultural show and we won first prize. The theme was musicals and we chose Phantom of the Opera. The display was black, gold and red, and very eye catching. we had to submit 5 enritries as part of the display that would be judged as well. I made a programme and helped to make a mask, someone else made a cake with the phantoms mask on it and some truffles and another made a floral display in the shape of a handbag. we were so pleased to get first, and with very high marks too!
This photo was before the show when we did a practise mock up.
I now have a silver cup to polish!

I'mBack!!!!

Yes I am back from my holiday...
I had a great time, its always nice to catch up with family and take a break from everyday life. I always find it hard however to get going art wise when I get back!









We had a lovely time at Mums, then we when to my cousin Louise's wedding, which was really lovely, she looked beautiful, and thankfully the rain held off enough to allow photos outside the church.
Then we went off , with my parents to a lovely cottage in Derbyshire. There is so much to do around there, and it is beautiful. we went to the heights of Abraham, which you ascend and descend in a cable car ( this I didn't like!), we went down a mine, we went to a theme park Alton Towers, and the best day was the Friday when just Hubby and me went to Chatsworth house, which was simply stunning!

Off on my holidays!

Just to let you know I am away now until 9th August.
Hopefully I will have some photos to share when I return.
We are going over to England to see my Parents, attend my cousins wedding ,
and have a relaxing week in a cottage in Derbyshire.
