BEFORE YOU MEET YOUR HANDSOME PRINCE....

YOU HAVE TO KISS A LOT OF TOADS!!!!!!!(I'm still waiting) Looks a bit scared there doesn't he? Please don't be alarmed,no toads were harmed during the making of these photos...I rescued him from my driveway-I don't know how I didn't squish him as I pulled away,as he was sheltering under my tires,most probably chased there by a cat,there are lots prowling round here.

Really soulful and interesting addition to your art card collection! Signed and dated on the reverse. What are ACEOs???? ACEO is the acronym for "Art Cards Editions and Originals".

(Some artists choose to sell prints of their work -'editions' ) ACEOs are created in any medium available in the art world. Artists are creating them in ALL kinds of styles and varieties.

Studio photos-the NEW Unit!!

I SO LOVE my new studio unit ( well new-ish, I moved across from my original teeny one in December,so am still quite excited!)I finally remembered to take my camera with me last week,although,it was,as you will see,the wettest,dullest day i could have possibly chosen!! Never mind-there are always plenty of colours scattered across my easel and worktops, and in the second of the photos you can still just about see the sea-it's so close to the workshops but looks much more distant as the rain has kind of turned sea and sky to the same ambiguous shade of misty grey.... roll on springtime, I will update with happy blue-skied photos next time!
