Somewhere in…

It’s been some time since I’ve shared a video with you of me doing the thing that I do. So, I used this awesome photo taken by my friend Gina Rodgers while she was on holiday through Europe. It’s just great in so many ways: the composition, the colours, the everything!! So here’s the originalContinue reading “Somewhere in…”

Oh,Continue reading “Art Journal Warm Ups”
