Prep for next weekends drawing workshop. I have been wanting to do this portrait of mum for a while so it was the perfect opportunity. Observational drawing that purposefully switches the right side of the brain on using techniques from taught by Betty Edward brings so much space and peace. I learn from every drawing I produce through this method.
Next weekend 2-3 November it will be the 53rd annual exhibition of Rusper Art Group. An amazing group of talented villagers - I suppose I have to put myself in that category tooo 🤣. I will be displaying my newest works including ‘Hidden’. There will be original artwork for sale, cards and prints and including my Zines!
It’s held at Rusper Village Hall (next to Rudper Village School). Free entry. Tea and cake.
Do you find you put the fire on your your cat and not yourself😻? 🤣 painting in on canvas.

Another quick little painted sketch. Ummmm think this could be a future painting.
It’s been a busy year. A friend said to me recently that resting is not about resting only to do it all over again until we are exhausted and then repeat the cycle. Resting is important part of life and is a practice of letting go. August is my chill time. For me simple watercolour washes and sketches are so easy to just relax, decompress and become present. What’s your chill go to?
My last day working for franchise as an Art tutor. So proud of the progress my students have made. They never believe me but it’s true they inspire me as much as I inspire them. I was so overwhelmed with my amazing cake made by one of my students. Can you see the resemblance 🤣❤️Honestly I shall miss the laughs on a Wednesday. I had some great cards too. One student said she had a great time looking in ‘my teacher ‘ card section of the card shop 🤣. Shall miss them all. Going to rest for August, lots of ideas just had no time to plan so looking forward to plunging into my art and planning my next phase. 😎❤️
