Already,halfway into 2016!!!! It's been such a busy year so far and yet the 'to-do' list seems longer than ever. I am musing,making plans-including a rather hopeful plan for a little time out, although that won't be for a while yet, but it is nice to pencil in.... lots of ideas, the tough part is deciding where to go and what to do next so I can evolve my business the way I really WANT it to go-and boost my creativity tenfold to keep on moving forwards! Sigh... A thoughtful day...

So, this year will be the year of much art and I want to focus my attentions on creating a more disciplined practice.I try to draw every day, but sometimes life is allowed to get in the way of this...with that in mind, I have joined 29 Faces Challenge, a fab group via facebook, where all manner of newbie and experienced artists post their daily face creation. It's a great way to keep you focussed on finding the time, AND my newsfeed is full of delicious arty goodness! What a fantastic idea ( it's not too late to join if you fancy a try!) Here are my faces for days 1 and 2....
