I still have some pics to sort out and upload to share... but I got busy ( already) on other projects so they will be forthcoming shortly :-) <br />
<br />
Play time this morning... with a very quiet and empty house, Charlie (the cat) and myself had a play with an ipad app and created this vignette of the re-modeled studio - which I spent all yesterday afternoon working on. As a continued work in progress I am increasingly happy with the layout, and function of this space... some further touches required!<br />
<br />

I received a great bunch of native Australian flowers as a gift... I love the banksia's, and foilage, as when they dry they retain their form, and colours, and are great inspiration to sketch from. Unfortunately I have no idea what type of plant this is - although I suspect it is a species of Banksia, but I cannot be sure...<br />
<br />
This one I did this morning, being shared for Sunday Sketches...<br />

This time with My Dear Man. What could be better... 3 nights in sunny Melbourne (well at this stage it is warmer there than Brisbane in some bizarre twist! ). The usual dilemma is - what to pack! So for Sunday Sketches today I sketched my wardrobe for four days in wintery melbourne that were suitable for art gallery cruising, cafe lounging ( Brunetti's here we come!), and tram hopping!!<br />

A sore tooth... And it resulted in needing to have it pulled. Today. I wont bore you with the details. But Ouchy. My husband came with me, and held my hand! Yay! AND has cooked me yummy mashed potatoes. An easy night, and while indulging with watching my fav movie / I doodled this gal - who tells me it'll all be ok ... And a Big reminder to everyone to look after your teeth! Happy PPF!!<br />

Whatever happened to the clear blue skies, with a crisp morning, turning into nice warmth in the sun - the usual Brisbane winter's I dream about! I am ever hopeful they will return tomorrow - 19 degrees is much more civilised.<br />
<br />
I have totally neglected my studio this week. It is simply too cold in there! Thinking I should just make a posy in the corner of the family room. Right under the reverse cycle air con - of course!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikvzWzcO6J6OmwUSxKZlOThoULNvi-YNElUubmwiXxwegBmsHJ-zWbMS9JkavkPF5r8OWgBX4v-UddHEwxNKtCA27TPDKMeKTpQFMwoMwbgKRG6QuD5i5ffAw-zUJAfhq6yHTu-QOFe4P6/s1600/teapot+framed+on+shelf.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikvzWzcO6J6OmwUSxKZlOThoULNvi-YNElUubmwiXxwegBmsHJ-zWbMS9JkavkPF5r8OWgBX4v-UddHEwxNKtCA27TPDKMeKTpQFMwoMwbgKRG6QuD5i5ffAw-zUJAfhq6yHTu-QOFe4P6/s320/teapot+framed+on+shelf.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But being inside, and having re-camped myself (for work though, not fun) in the much warmer family room, it is a good chance to consider how we use the different spaces in the home. Why should the studio be the coldest & hottest room in the house? A little oil and turps, a few paint splatters, a little spilled water... nothing to worry about. really. I could set up an art easle right here. Maybe I will!<br />
<br />
Here is an oil painting that I've been looking at this week, that I painted last year. I still like it... which is a good thing!<br />
<br />
I really need to get back into the art groove - there are so many fantastic opportunities around!<br />

Sharing with Paint Party Friday. And if you are Brisbane I hope you have a nice warm spot for snuggling under a blanket!<br />
<br />
Where's your best spot, or best tip, to be creative when it's cold out ( and in!) ? <br />

Seems like all we've had recently is rain - and looks like it's going to be a rainy winter. At least today we got to enjoy hot chips on the patio in the wintry sun - now it is dark, and gloomy, and rainy - feels just like Melbourne - although I am sure not as cold!<br />
<br />
So this week while flicking though my sketch book I came across a sketch I did late last year of our Bonnie Dog... and I got to thinking back...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got Bonnie we were a new family: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With 'yours, mine and ours' children: 5 of us + Bonnie = six</div>
<br />
We were six for such a long time... then we became 7 when a second 'yours' child came to live with us... Which not long after dropped back to six when 1 went to Uni, then 5 when another moved away also... so Our number was Us, Mine + Ours + Bonnie = five<br />
<br />
Then as Bonnie got older we decided to get a puppy - as a companion dog for myself, and to keep Bonnie young... you know a kind of bringing in the new to see out the old... This was a sketch I did this week from a photo taken earlier this year... and our number was back to = 6<br />

By that stage, Bonnie was getting older, and slowing down, and then she started
coughing... and in January we had to put her to sleep as she had heart
failure. She was 13 and had had a great life - Slept on the kids beds,
waited for her bit of crust every morning, loved her walks, and was a faithful companion... I love this simple pic of the two
dogs, and my youngest asleep in the back of the car when moving house
last year... And we were = seven<br />

Then beginning of Term 1 this year Bella got sick - something called White Shaking Dog Syndrome (for all intents and purposes it sounded like MS and gets treated the same)... and we spent the next 3 months caring for her with steroids, and treats, and cleaning up after her... but the time came when we had to make that hard decision... what was best for her? Was she happy? And so the hardest day of my life, it seems, was having to take her to the vet and say goodbye. But you know it's the right decision when the vet doesn't even blink, but agrees with you - no second chance, "lets try..." But, boy oh boy - that's a hard thing to do...<br />

As the original of Dream has sold, I am really happy to be able to offer this as a print, or as a finished art like these - she's so cute!</div>

She reminds me of sun-filled days, with flowers and dreams </div>

The original of Happy is still available...or as above, or as a print... she is slightly wistful, but I also imagine she is simply at peace, with the slightest of Mona Lisa smiles...</div>

Christmas creeps up on me every year! I han't yet planned the Christmas menu, or shopped, or even made a pud ( whch I normally do)... I have most of the pressie's bought however... I wonder if like most years we end up wrapping them at midnight on Christmas Eve?<br />
<br />
I'll link in with Sunday Sketches & Paint party Friday ( If I'm Not too late?) <br />
<br />
(Not sure How much Blogging I'll be doing leading up to Christmas - we have this 'n that all the usual pre-christmas stuff Plus 2 days away on a mini-break - yay! If I get any sketching done I may just do mobile posting - it's quick and easy at least - or this may end up being a bit of blogging holiday... we'll just have to see!)<br />

With the recent hot weather to say the studio has been as hot as an oven is not an understatement. So even though I <strike>have</strike>, had taken over 1/2 the dining table, and I have a number of started projects, <strike>nothing</strike> not much got finished!<br />
Instead I decided to work in the cool, under the air con with my laptop - and I got this PDF project finished instead! yay!!<br />
