Inside my studio today .....

 Yesterday I had a clean up and moved my big desk into the corner...I think if you looked back over my blog posts from the last 5 years you would laugh at the amount of times this tiny room has had a face lift....but I can assure you it is a joyous thing for me....Beautiful fresh jonquils that my sweet hazel eyed girl bought me this week, a new coffee table book called the natural home that arrived today, images on my inspire board for the wedding, paper work in its folders, the start of kirstie's birthday presents for next month and of course lots of art journals where I write quotes, clip clippings, draw and plan....

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.  ~Henry Ward Beecher


Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  Art is knowing which ones to keep.  ~Scott Adams


Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.  ~Pablo Picasso


Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.  ~Twyla Tharp

Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.  ~Pablo Picasso
