'Out Of My Comfort Zone'
Out of my comfort zone
May has seen me go completely out of my comfort zone by embarking on an online art course for 13 weeks. I have wanted to extend my learning for some time and when this came available I knew I wanted to give it a go. The Art2Life Creative Visionary Program (CVP) is about the transformation of art, so watch this space……..the first two weeks we delved into our thought process looking at what inspires us, what desires we have and our past, present and how we see our future art. Last week we started painting (but not as I had painted since I was a child) we ‘played’ with paint……so liberating! This week we are painting with black and white paint, looking at design and value…..so interesting.
Pink Breakfast
19th of May my friend Jan organised a Pink Ribbon Breaskfast fundraiser for Breast Cancer New Zealand . We had an amazing morning with pink food and bubbles, a great bunch of women and raised $774 for the boobs! Jan and I had fun creating a Pink ‘selfie’ wall of handmade flowers (which I’m sure we will use again)
Macleans College Hockey Art Show
On the 15th and 16th of June I look forward to having 6 pieces of art for sale in this annual Art show, including a collage of New Zealand with stamps and some of my Inktober artworks, more details here
There are still some of my original Inktober pieces for sale on the website, only $60 plus shipping, click here to see what is still available.
Holidays and family
The end of May saw my son going off to his first school ball (while I was away on a girls weekend) luckily my husband was on hand to get him there safe and sound. (when did he get so tall and grown up!)
With June upon us, my husband and I are getting ready to fly off to the US for 2 weeks with 3 other couples. I’m so looking forward to adventures, seeing new things and laughing a lot. I will be continuing with my art course and I get to celebrate getting a year older in New York. I’m sure I will come home inspired and ready to create more art.
Thanks for reading.
