snowboarding

Just returned from a great day out at castleford, dont 2 levels of my snowboarding lessons great!!

good times.

Snow is here again!!

Snow here again in fryup dale, so no going to the studio today. a lazy sunday afternoon.  May get some cleaning and tidying up done, I've been looking at it for sometime.  Gutted for the GB bobsleigh team.  Did you see the ice burns?  Painful.

Just been out on to the moor with husband and our two dogs, walked for over two hours.  They are now laying infront of the stove, both producing zzzzzzz's. (even phil)  

I have been asked to illustrate a childrens book so I'm really excited about that, so may spend the afternoon designing the characters.  

To the right an unfinished piece birds in a tree cant wait to get back to staithes to finish it.

To day I am at Staithes beevering away in my workshop, yesterday I was featured on http://www.idreamedisaw.com/ .  very exciting.  I am sat waiting for my wax to melt so I thought I stare at the aweful weather and check emails.  Ive also been asked to exhibit in london in november.  Oh the other exciting news is that I got into NYOS!! www.artconnections.co.uk

Just doing some very large pieces at the moment 50cm x 50cm so quite large compared to what I'm use too.  But i've just done the first layer (background)  cant wait to see the final result.  The base layer is above!

Its sunday evening, and I am reflecting on my weekend.  I have decided from now on, that I may give fairs a miss! Brave huh.  While sat in the town hall yesterday it suddenly dawned on me that I think that my time would be better spent, either going to galleries and trying to get more places interested in my work!

But the good news is I made four sales on Folksy today!
