OK, typing one handed with babe in knee and 4 year old creating art beside me. What can i say? Life with 5 chillens is crazy busy! My days swing between moments of absolute joy to absolute despair and back again. Somehow among the chaos I have found time to create, usually with my baby on my back sleeping or enjoying the view from up there.
Over the last couple of months I have discovered the joys of art journalling and the techniques I have learned I have used to create works on canvas as well as in the form of altered books. The painting the left is my most recent work.
Because I am short on time (two little ones need me) I will have to upload and run. In fact, that is pretty much how I live my life these days. In fits and spurts. It's very frustrating at times but getting through it with my mind intact at the end of the day is empowering to say the least. This too shall pass...(sigh)

'Harmony' I used similar colours with this painting as the last as they hang in kinda the same area of the house.
This is a portrait of my beautiful Nana, who passed away recently. The painting has been slightly altered since this pic was taken but I haven't had a moment to take another photo.
Created in memory of my Grandfather who passes away recently. It's been a heavy year!
