Been A While

Tried to post something a week or so ago but all fell apart and I lost a carefully executed post + photos so gave up and went to bed in disgust at my own incompetence mixed with disapoint ment at the Optusnet broadband offer I recently took up which occasional decides to pack up and go hide somewhere in the ether at the worst moments ... news though is that I'm back with the paints - back at classes - Tuesday nights instead of Thursday and I do mis the original cohorts but Linda - my lovely teachers says she's going to try and hook us up again on a new Thursday night class - when we can bring red wine and cheese and laugh a lot .. current group are very nice people of course but there is a, well a certain spark missing if you get my drift ..

Anyway the main point is that I am painting again - my Bunbury Sunset in class which I should (fingers crossed) actually finish tonight - please god as it's sending both me and poor Linda quite mad, and yet another attempt at the Sandon Beach dots which is sitting at home on my art bench (my art bench as in the photo at right) is a litereally a bench originally intended for 'bums' but now holds all my art supplies and quite frankly I think looks rather, well, 'cool'.

So hopfully if I can eventually co-ordinate camera, paintings and my own thumb in a couple of days I will be able to post a couple of photos of my recent attempts at 'puddling' in oils - if anything the mental 'time out' involved soothes my rather scrambled brain.
