 SOLO SHOW  -  UPDATE DUE TO THE VIRUS MY SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED PLEASE STAY SAFE ALL! 
Firstly a belated Happy New Year to All! Hope you had a wonderful festive season and apologies for this late blog.  I am excited to announce that I will be holding a solo show at the Blue Mountains Heritage Centre in Blackheath, Govetts Leap Road for all of April 2020. Show opens 2nd April and runs until the end. There will be a wide variety of art for all to enjoy. So all art lovers pop along if you can and also take in the stunning views at Govetts Leap Lookout!

 SALES of ORIGINALS 
Now where to begin, it has been pretty hectic this end with all sorts of things happening as I am sure it is with most people these days.  I finished 2019 off with a happy ending and sold  a Couple of Galahs on Boxing Day at The Edge Gallery in Katoomba that was on show with the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Network Summer Exhibition. ☺ Thankful to buyer!

2020 started off with a sale of my 'Emus - Watcha Lookin' At?' on Bluethumb. Sold to a lovely lady with twins, a boy and a girl. Always a delight to hear the story behind the sale.  The painting was chosen by her children and now hangs at the top of the stairwell to encourage everyone to smile which is the aim of all my Fun Birds in this Series.

​COMMISSION
I had my very first request for a commission on Bluethumb to paint Cheeky 
Cockatiels
 (available on Bluethumb) on a larger scale. This was exciting news for me and also a challenge that I took on straight away. Thoroughly enjoyed the process and the interaction was easy for both parties.  I organised to deliver the painting myself seeing as we frequented the area where the buyer lived and happy to say she was delighted with it! Was great to receive an email of a photo of it in situ framed and on the wall for all to admire. It was the biggest commission to date and the size was 91cm x 91cm.​ Here I am below so as you can see the scale of the painting. ☺

I had a lovely request by a lady through Bluethumb wanting to view Govetts Leap Lookout as a gift for her friend's wedding. They had met in the Blue Mountains so the area is very special to them.  After viewing the painting it was purchased from the studio.  Seeing as I am exhibiting for all of April at the Blue Mountains Heritage Centre in Blackheath (on Govetts Leap Road) another is now being painted in a similar style.

SELECTION OF NEW PAINTINGS
I have been trying to find time to paint in between work, our airbnb and visitors from overseas staying with us for a week!  Also my husband, John retired at Christmas time and we will be spending more time together and I will keep on track with my art when I can.   I have been painting some birds as part of a Fun Bird Series and also felt drawn to paint Koalas after the bushfires in Australia. Below are new paintings available now at Bluethumb. (Click on each image to purchase online)

you should still be able to find my profile page for now. With lots of changes happening such as closing of groups, it is now just a shop front and we will have to wait and see if sales are still consistent.  The start of the year has seen some good sales internationally and nationally so very happy and thankful to those purchasing my products.  It is always appreciated!
