I finished another life book lesson! This painting represents finding peace within a busy urban environment, as some of you may know in 2015 I experienced a huge change in the peacefulness of my area when a concentrated flight path for Heathrow Airport was diverted to over my home with no warning!!! I am moving!!

New Painting – Inner Strength
I managed to complete a painting over xmas :) it was actually inspired by a Life Book 2017 lesson but looks nothing like it. It features the solar plexus chakra ‘Manipura’ as I do believe that chakras exist, I’ve only drawn a guy about 3 times so it was a good practice :)
Hello.. taking things slowly
Hello, I hope you are all well and looking forward to the festive season. I’ve been taking things a bit slowly over the past couple of weeks, mainly because I’ve been catching up on sleep! I had secondary acoustic glazing installed and for the first time in over a year I have not been woken…
Morning Walk
It has been a delightful morning, I’ve been continuing my health and wellbeing drive with daily walks, this will be my fourth week of walking and eating 5-a-day (mostly) and I’m definitely feeling better for it, my stomach is flatter, my skin clearer and the initial blisters and sore legs have all gone away. Its been really…
London walk and graphite face
This morning I took a stroll pasts the Royal Courts of Justice, I love that archway :) And here is a quick graphite pencil sketch of a face that I made last night.
New Painting – Lady and insects
Hi all, I’ve been arting away this weekend whilst the weather here, on the edge of London has been cold, windy and wet. I took the time to complete a painting that had been sitting in a ‘prepped’ state for months. I wanted to practice drawing insects using a lot of line work, I’ve realised…
London walks and a bit of a ramble
Instagram photos from my London walks. I’ve been on a health kick recently, and started a health and wellbeing regime :) including walking for at least an hour per day and trying to eat 5-a-day (fruit and veg) every day. I’ve been plotting my progress on the fleetly and 5 A Day apps. I’ve really…
Self-care = being informed
My self-care journey has been working well, I’m feeling a lot more rested and my head actually feels connected to my body again, sleeping is easier and I’m not waking up in the middle of the night sweating.. :) I guess when overwhelming events happen in our lives our first reaction is denial, I tend…
Self Care = Eating ‘Market Fresh’ Vietnamese food :)
I managed to haul my arse into work today, I’m still feeling a bit whoosie but it’s ok. Here is my favourite lunch, Chicken Cha Cha Com from a local Vietnamese place I’m sure they put drugs in the food because I feel so good after eating it, it’s only chicken, rice and salad with…
New art journal page – No one to blame?
I recently found this Erica Jong quote and it really resonated with me. ‘How wonderful to have someone to blame! How wonderful to live with one’s nemesis! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life…
