The Great in All Things

I wish I was one of those Artists who can simply respond to their Muse/Calling/Mojo when it strikes. Trying to negotiate a family during school holidays, all the while acknowledging but not responding to that call, is mighty difficult and a tiny bit cruel. I tried to satisfy myself with practicing my drawing skills, dippingContinue reading “The Great in All Things”

Mother’s Day Moments

First head to your Spotlight store and grab a pack of coloured turkeyContinue reading “Feathery Wreath Merry Christmas”

Today I’m going to show you two canvases that I’ve re-worked that you can now find in my Made It Shop. Here are the offending artworks.
