A Hiatus and new work

 Whilst I have taken a break from the blog, I have been super busy with my art. In February I went to Kapunda in South Australia for an intensive 10 day painting workshop at Salon Rouge Gallery. The workshop was run by Jacqueline Coates as part of her Make Money from Art Programme that I am now 6 months in to. Just being around like-minded, creative people gave me such a boost and Jac's intensive schedule really shook me up and got me back on the productive wagon after a somewhat hot and lazy summer. I feel really inspired now and have been painting full steam ahead since I got back. Whilst I was n South Australia I stayed at Anlaby Station - a beautiful old estate that is soon to be celebrating their 175th anniversary. The homestead and gardens are absolutely beautiful and I felt very welcome and comfortable in the b&b which is the old manor house surrounded by stables that are still in use. Here is a link to Anlaby to check out  http://anlaby.com.au/web2/

As always I have some show and tell. Here are some recent paintings that I have done whilst in Kapunda and since I got back:
