Flashback to one of my absolute favourite pieces I've ever done .

Semi abstract is not everyone's cup of tea but it very much represents me as an artist .

This is some wheat, yet to be harvested on after a hot summers day with a storm brewing come evening time .

It was painted in oils, painted quickly and not overworked or overthought !! Something I'm struggling to do with my work atm but! Hopefully renewed surrounds will bring returned confidence .

Emptying the dishwasher seeding edition ! Quiet on the creative front as the new farmhouse and its surrounds are a hive of seeding activity ! Grateful for our very hardworking team Anderson and the rain last week and looking forward to more .

Please excuse the mess and bad photo framing but cuteness can't be disturbed !

A busy day so didn't get to the studio like I hope today but did do a minor change to the new farmhouse ; carrying on a tradition from the old . Judging from the cat a successful one!

At the beginning of the cooler season I pop a baskets out so Blankets can be easily accessed and put away. This one is Miko approved.!

My lovely little kitty cat is 12 years old and she can live where ever she likes in the old or the new farmhouse!

Today's creative task: planting my everlasting seeds from in and about the rockery at the new garden . Fingers crossed they survive and thrive ...

Trying to do something that brings a little joy everyday and am grateful for joys we have on this ANZAC day.

Meanwhile over at the new farmhouse - the snack drawer at seeding time is not for the faint hearted ...

Return to work and commencement of seeding means work on the old farmhouse has been stalling but we will grab moments when we can !

Happy seeding y'all - things are tougher than we expected and the juggle and struggle is real. You are valued and appreciated . # Here if you need ❤️
