Jet lag sets in....but I'm hanging in there!

As the week has gone on I've found myself feeling progressively worse for wear after NYC. Usually I'm an early bird heading off to the gym at 6am before work. This week I've been struggling to drag myself out of bed at 7.45! Today was no different. Roll on a Saturday lay in methinks and sorting myself out right and proper. Despite this, I have been having a reasonably productive week and getting some new smaller pieces ready for Art in the park. I have my new hearty set I showed you earlier this week and am now working on a zebra print trio which is a new thing for me and which I have created with the aid of a toothbrush...yes you read that right! I am embracing painting with different items other than a paint brush. Cotton Buds, twigs and the like are all currently on my painting table!! You just never know what effect they will have and that's half the excitement! Pictures should be on here at some point over the weekend if my creativity continues to flow! Talking of "Art in the Park", Steph and I went to see the exhibits of the 2nd week last night. I hear the sales are still approx 50% down which is a shame, but personally I enjoyed the art much more this week. It's fair to say whilst I can appreciate the skill, I am not a big fan of landscapes or pet portraits (although I did sell myself out to paint a windmill once, but that's a whole other story!!). This week there was a lot of bright and funky contemporary artwork and I was very nearly tempted to buy a piece. However, I remembered my lack of wall space! Anyway, back to the day job for now...and dreaming of all the things I could paint should I have more time!!
