☆ When a break is as good as a holiday

Tweet

You all know I have been working furiously this last couple of weeks to prepare for the markets on the weekend.

After the last markets I wanted a whole new design for my stall. Something that drew people in, that allowed them to move around my stall freely.

And during the stress of painting products, begging Mr Mac to design some panels for me, redesigning the layout, one afternoon, I was fantasising about what I would do after the markets. 

And this is what I came up with....

I planned to take two weeks off after the markets to read a book, paint my sun goddess, sleep in my sunny spot couch, organise the next few months, create the website I've been wanting to create since January.

I am not sure if I will get to all these, but I am definitely going to take some time to relax + enjoy my sunny spot on the couch before the blazing heat of summer descends.

And we had such fun at the markets...

And Mr Mac did an amazing on my panels. I love how they felt like a gallery + showed off my paintings at their best.

I adored meeting all the people who popped in to say hello. I loved talking to everyone. And telling the stories that inspired my paintings.

But I think I need the week to re-evaluate + do things that have needed to be done for a very long time.

So I will see you all next week. And I will be spending some valuable time sitting on the sunny spot on my sofa!!!

☆ Harvest Markets August [Friday Art]

Tweet

I have been totally consumed with making new art for this weekends Harvest Markets.

And I am so excited about this one.

Last time, it rained.

It poured.

And for an outdoor market, it was almost a kiss of death.

This time the forecast is for an amazingly gorgeous end of winter day (blue skies, warm, but not hot wether. I love this time of year...)

So you've already seen the hand painted note books + the wall plaques, but I thought I'd share these new canvases.

It has been ages like I painted like this, quicker pieces, that are on canvas.

And I love how they turned out.

So if your in the Cowra area, make sure you pop in. I am near the band stand. Come + say Hi!

Have a great weekend...
