You may not be able to hold me to this but I'm feeling a wind of change and usually it hits me this time of the year. I'm doubting myself, I look at the directions I have taken over the past year and I feel the need to move forward, onwards and into less familar art territory. So I borrowed a photo from my friend Helen Shepherd who is a whizz at painting trees and have started on my own tree version. I have also ventured outside to paint from life and will try to do more in the future. With all new territory comes a new learning curve which is exciting and terrifying at the same time. So watch the space! Thank you very much for looking and reading.
