At just this minute…….

As I sit in my car waiting for Grace to finish her big shop (probably some stickers and a pen) I’m turning my thoughts to how much my ‘me’ has changed since I restarted my art journey, some say art is therapy, I suppose I can agree as it does have some mighty distraction tactics for those who are in pain, sick or depressed.

My journey is taking a turn, I can no long press my pencil onto paper with the force of toddler with a crayon or shade my way through 5 hours on a piece of art and it feel like 5 minutes…

I did my last pencil portrait in February this year, the lovely Freddie, check him out on this page, away they go my lovely pencils, maybe for future times, I will miss them so.

It is what it is and I can, for now at least, paint my way through. More power to my paintbrush (and my weird painting downwards technique). May my art be a feast for my paintbrushes.

What does this mean for my art? It mean all of you lovely people who have been so kind in adoring and purchasing my drawings get to be from the first part of my journey and I hope you will always treasure your artwork and continue to follow me in my painting portion of my life.

I continue to be excited by art and although I am admittedly much slower than I’d like I can take what I already know with my eyes and my brains and turn to learning, teaching and doing, I have set up a shop on my website with Grace and I continue to be a rolling stone.

At just this minute I am bigger than my pain and it is not bigger than me.
