My new studio for the week

Well after yesterday's post about putting things off, I gathered my painting stuff together and moved to another location...the kitchen. I popped on the radio, made a mug of tea and got to it, and I think it worked because I've nearly finished the first painting.

I'm planning on painting little still life paintings of quirky, interesting objects and objects from nature, say seed pods, feathers etc. 

So first up is a painting of the wooden Polish doll I bought at the boot sale on Sunday.


It's been lovely painting with the doors flung open and being able to watch the sparrows hopping around looking for a bite to eat, this is what work should be like and one day it will be full time...hopefully!


My painting isn't quite there yet, I still need to work on her hair, feet and scarf, oh and I've just noticed she needs rosy cheeks too, but I'm pleased with her so far.   


I'll show you the finished article when she's done. Hope you liked the sneak preview x

p.s hello to my new follower...I was getting sick of seeing 79 followers and was desperate to get it to a round figure...how bonkers is that!
