I ended last year with lots of clay and with me filming my two tutorial workshops, it didn’t leave me too much time for painting on canvases since my auction. And boy, I have been missing it. I thought I would steal some time on holiday but that was a miss so I’ve been slowly warming up again and loving it.

I had these mini 4”x4” canvases lying on my desk since last year and I thought this would be a sweet way to get my brushes moving again and it was. The two paintings below are pieces I had drawn up last year and finally getting to work on now. This past week I did take stock of my all my unfinished works and I was a bit surprised to find 7 unfinished paintings, 9 unfinished clay works and 3 sets of earrings. That’s a bit much, even for me. I did have a good chuckle to myself… I have some work to do.

I know I can be a little undisciplined this way at times. I need to circle back and make it it my mission to finish pieces before I move forward onto any new ones. Well I say this but who knows… I do always tend to finish my works all said and done even if some take longer than others. I think part of that it is learning to accept the way I tend to work in these round about ways.

Regardless of all that, I’m just loving painting again and being #inmystudio - it makes me happy.
