Paper trip!

Posted by lilymae on April 2, 2015

I am in desperate need for new paper – so we shuffled things about and came into Melbourne town so I could get paper:

The people at Melbourne Etching Supplies were so helpful, I’ve come away with a new packet of paper that I cannot wait to get home and begin work on. I’ve been doing a lot of drawing practice and sketching over this last week and have a few solid ideas that need to be realised and soon.. before I explode!

Reflection

Posted by lilymae on March 31, 2015

Warm autumn day with walks and talks and watermelon and coffee and a drive and a crazy kid who did not sleep very much and hair and red lips and reflections and pencils and new things forming waiting to be made and a severe lack of punctuation within this post.

Painting and pelvic floor exercises

Posted by lilymae on March 30, 2015

It’s the first day of school holidays and I was really excited about it because it means lazy mornings and pj days and spending time with kid in the studio. It means maybe we will go to a reserve and swoon over animals, it means special treats and probably some time out.

Today we went for a long walk and borrowed books and made an easter egg decoration for daddy. She shared toys with another kid and then we came home for sandwiches and painting.

We shared mummy’s easel:

And then I sat at my desk and did a little painting of a skull, and my pelvic floor exercises – because I am a multi-tasking genius.

Then I made dinner and spilt bread crumbs all over myself and into my slippers. I heard the post person go past and he had squeaky wheels.. He totally needs to oil those wheels.

I also found this, this is a detail, a portrait of the most glorious Angie Hart. I am going to finish it because I think it is so beautiful.

I also have the pieces for another large drawing to begin soon, painting is just a lovely holiday right now.

Traveled to Melbourne – got art supplies, did some drawing, had coffee, back to home, friend stayed over, bagels! Tea! Coffee! Pancakes! Alone time and then painting.

Bliss.
