Where are you all….how amazing to find you all over the World …it is amazing how far away some of you are…

Hello out there…. when I open my blog …. it is great to see where you are….you who attach to me …live …is FAB so grateful you spend the time reading my blog thank you.

I lived in my studio most of the middle of the day…. I am working on a series to promote a venue in my nearest town …Doncaster… it is an old hall called Cusworth Hall.  I think it is finished…only I have had a few issues with the concept …it is quite abstract and I have ended up adding lines onto the canvas…. they are lines of words in the piece of poetry which goes along with the paintings…any way I will blog it for you when I take a photo of it tomorrow…. I haven’t had time owing to my grandson who needed to be taken for a walk … whilst his mum revised for an exam..this coming Wednesday…. she is heavily pregnant with her second child … due at the end of February.. I am  becoming excited now… but I am also worried … I worry about her all the time… just will be happy when the baby is here … Alex my grandson is just beautiful… I paint him all the time I can’t help myself he is so clever and gorgeous.. I will add a painting I did of him about three months ago… now I have finished the series for the hall… I am now going to paint my daughter again … I have already painted her pregnant wit Alex…but I want to paint the two of them before this baby arrives…please comment about the painting..it is so happy I feel..as a painting…it his his character …he so full of fun and life…he keeps me smiling all the time when I am with him.. I adore him…

Walking

DSC05705

Went for a long walk this last Tuesday morning…. it was absolutely fantastic… I needed to think in my head…

I have come home and settled to write this piece… I have also got a fantastic painting I painted about two years ago now when the village had the last dumping of snow… Hope you like them.. I haven’t yet finished the piece of poetry but will post the painting if I can find it… it has inspired me to paint some more in the same vain….DSC03195

Restoring Calm…………………minutes of time…. my love of writing and painting… I so hope you like my posts….please leave me your comments :)

Everything ……. not NOTHING

I leave you ….SOMETIMES I sigh

My heart is strong; but will I find the latch

Please don’t let me be misunderstood

I am just a soul not wanting to hold back

A cloak I do not wear, NO FALSE WOOD

My ART gives me hope for my heavy stare…

Where is my care?

I pray lots for what I deserve

I wait……………………….

Nothing!

I will say this honestly to mean

My wish is to hold a truth

I will try forever to hold my pain sack

For ever I will soldier my youth………..

I am like a Peter Pan an impish girl…

I live to wave and cheer

Lifted a scene…in a most heavy year

Let me have lost years, for my rainbow plans

I shout from inside;

I want you to understand inside my skin….

I have survived smoked filled rocket ships

I have dodged the bullets…..that held me back wasted my LIPS

I felt a little piece of me die from being attacked

BUT IT NEVER QUELLED MY SPARK

I HAVE NEVER LET IT PUSH ME BACK

Then God Cheered and PAINTED the sky

I looked and looked and stared … I cannot allow my desire and passion to be unmissed…………………… by all who are blind………………….. who walk past my gifts

I have grown filling INSIDE

I lift the latch to fill MY EYE POOL EYES…..

I will one day find that one who will stopDSC05599

He will have 20 20 vision to belong with my clock……………….

 

This is a piece about finding me and my need to creative…. I hope that you who view my posts will understand a little about my skin….

I have such a goal and desire to allow my paint to flow and my pen to write… it keeps me up into the dark hours of my nights…. the paintings above are the beginnings of a new work.. it is a commission about a beautiful place; park house near where I live…it is to promote the fact that you can start your rainbow in their grounds for your own marriage… it is taking shape slowly.. I had a mad art class late into the evening with my students last night in amongst the cold cold night …. My studio was a tip mmmm//// but now it has been restored to my space…my heaven which gives my such pleasure and peace … I am sure that I was meant to have this space….everyone loves being in it… I love losing myself inside it…. it is underneath my skies and filled with colour … I am racing the clock …. I hope my pen and paintbrush will be able to keep up with my desire to achieve my aims this 2013…………………..Smile
