Morning light


I've been working on this piece for weeks and finally finished it last night reading to share at Paint Party Friday. It just needed a last spurt of effort - rather like Mr Bolt as he scampered over the line to claim his place in the record books!

I'm afraid I can't write anything these days without bringing in an Olympic reference. I wrote a whole newsletter for one of my clients where every article mentioned at least one GB gold medal winner. I mean, let's face it, I had plenty to choose from!!

I've called this lady Asayo which means 'morning world'. She does look like she is rising from a slumber.

In other news this week (non-medal-related!), I have set a launch date for the second run of my Creative right-brained eCourse. This is for you if you would love to:
  • Learn how to see things differently
  • Unblock your creative pathways
  • Exercise your right brain
  • Discover your own style
  • Expand your perspective
  • Find inspiration from new sources
It involves painting, collage, a bit of writing and lots of experimentation. It's fun, messy and sure to unlock something that's been hiding in your subconscious for years, just waiting for the chance to come out and play!

Who knows, maybe you'll feel like you deserve your own medal. You can read testimonials from previous students here.

I shall also be running a live workshop in October. I'm just finalising the details, so will share those soon. For now, I can tell you that it's on Saturday 20th October at the beautiful Highgate House in Northamptonshire (UK!).

    I have to admit, I haven't watched any olympic coverage....then again, we have no tv or cable....but I do see the highlights whenever I open my internet home page! Definately exciting things happening there!!

    I hope you know, I'm always wishing you the very best :O)

  3. I agree with you about the Olympics - there is such inspiration in the athlete's stories. And I am not even in England- the energy from the games must be so exhilarating! Lady Asayo is beautiful - love the deep blues!

  12. Asayo is stunning - I love the luminous quality to her skin with the blue tones you've used. Just beautiful. Do you know, I whinged about how the Olympics were taking over everything in the months leading up to them and had no interest in any sport and yet I've been glued to all sorts of random events I never thought I'd be interested in - even weightlifting!!

  22. I love the expression on her face. She looks like she's intrigued by whatever she's looking up at. The blues are so deep and rich.

  23. What a gorgeous painting. And Asayo? Gets my vote for most beautiful word ever. Too bad my one child naming option has passed, or someone would be named Asayo.

    Now...how can I finagle a quick dash to the UK in October?
