Carl and I have decided to document a couple of paintings as they happen. This is a short film of me painting (click here to view on Flickr). The work is ongoing so we thought it would be rather sweet to take you on the journey too. The painting is acrylic on canvas and 80 x 80cm in size ... it’s of a beautiful lamp base given to us by the wonderful glasssmaker Anthony Stern – a great pal of my husband. Having an outstandingly beautiful glass anything around very young and wriggly children is a no-no therefore this painting is a celebration of time passing, the children growing and our being able to enjoy it at last – here in our studio.

Will be addding to the painting over time and then the process of living with it for a month or two in my special hanging place (above our dining table) will begin ... if it passes that test it will be for sale ... but thats a long way off yet ... hope you enjoy and please do comment – feedback is always welcome.
