White cockerel - watercolour |
How many times do we say that?
Today I have taken the first step in blogging and am looking forward to sharing my work with you as well as having a natter about things that interest me.
Along with several other animal artists I am at present sorting artwork out for an exhibition of animal art to be held at Lytham Heritage Centre, Lancashire from the 11th September until the 30th September.
How do I feel about it? Excited, nervous and about half a dozen other emotions as this is the first time I have helped to organise an exhibition. It should be a marvellous mix of styles and media and it would be great to see some friendly faces!
I cannot believe how far I have come from November 2009 when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. It had been years since I picked up a brush and took my art seriously and a chance visit to a local art shop in April 2010 started my love of painting anew. Looking forward to seeing what the future brings!
I think this says it all;
"I believe that if we open our eyes and look, we can all see beauty everywhere around us. I live and breathe art and my aim is to open others’ eyes and hearts to it as well. "
