A whole new world.
'Foliage I' / Lemon Tree
It's been a week since I became a full-time artist.
One whole week.
AND I have painted every day.
It has been amazing. Literally, living my dream.
I was nervous that I wouldn't know where to start, but I needn't have worried - there is so much to do and I'm finding inspiration everywhere.
- It's so exciting -
I have a new studio set-up in town, which I have unimaginitively named 'Back Room Studio'.
It is located in the back room at Magpie, 203 Heretaunga Street East, Hastings.
Please feel free to drop in anytime and see what I am working on or just say HI.
I had a few social followers/lovers of my art visit me this week and it was amazing meeting you. It means alot to me that you love my pieces as much as I love creating them.
This week, I started a new series - Foliage - hopefully it will stick around and you will love it. I plan to keep this series wild, loose and colouful. And large.
The first installment has been completed.
[Foliage I / Lemon Tree] is 1m wide and 1.2m tall and the next piece in the series is underway.
I'm also working on my third piece in the 'Posy' series.
Now this, I am very very excited about and you should see it completed within the next week.
Also, on Wednesday (Anzac Day), my beautiful sister @TillyAznieveArt & I have a stall at the Clifton Makers Market.
We're pretty excited and have been working on some cool, one-off pieces in anticipation.
Check out our instagrams for sneek peeks.
