Night Glider

Hello world. I have been working like crazy on my 40 piece mixed media collection and i am only 1 away from it now. I know i don't be blogging as much because i have to keep the work under wraps for the exhibitions. But i will be doing charcoal sketches to keep ye entertained. This one is called Night Glider it is a figure who glides across the world spreading love at night. Hope ye like it.

Little Achill

I decided to draw my typewriter.  It sort of reminds me that i am better at drawing things than having to explain it as i always get tongue tied.  I often wish we lived in a society where you could draw your explanation rather than speak it.  I love this typewriter it reminds me of an old house i lived in for 1 year it has the same smell off it. My landlord lived beside me in a massive house and I lived in the tiny one beside him but he was so good to me and it was on of the happiest years of my life. I was very sad to see him die of cancer after that year, i had to move out.  Even though it was only 1 year of my life it has made the biggest impact so far and i was glad to have experienced it so that is why this picture is titled Little Achill. Hope you like it.

Tuning into the Woods

Hi all this picture is inspired by the Electric Picnic. I had a wonderful weekend over there i am still recovering. I always love looking at people showcasing their talents whether it is with music, art, performance or just people expressing themselves through different styles of clothing it brings out the creative side to people. Here is a little bit of everything in this picture hope you like it.

Reignited Passion

I used to write a lot of stories and poems when i was a child and up until my late teen years.  I have been itching to get back to it lately so i was delighted to get this antique typewriter as an early birthday present.  I said i would share one of my first poems with you called The Lonely Button.  I am going to put my own little story and poetry book together and illustrate it and display it at my exhibitions.  I am looking forward to seeing what else comes out hope you enjoy my first poem and go easy on me i am a bit rusty he he.

Nanny News up the North of Ireland

This was a very proud moment for me today.  I traveled up to see one of my pictures turned into a poster on a scroll board on display in the Belfast Central Train Station. It makes all my hard work well worth it and also makes me more determined to keep striving. Today was one of my dreams come true. I am floating on cloud nine here at the moment. Thanks for dropping by and supporting me.

The Wanderly Wood

This is a picture i done ages ago.  It only popped into my head this morning as i feel a great need to be out in the woods lately.  I always find it such a place of mystic and magic and somewhere that drives my imagination crazy.  As you can see from the above picture this is a clip from my head what i do see when i am wandering the woods.  I think it does so much for your soul to be out in nature i would highly recommend it to everyone. Hope you enjoy this picture.

Lovingly Letting Go

Good day all hope you are keeping wonderful. Today i am having a quiet emotional day i suppose it is part of being human. I am letting go of things i am holding onto so sometimes this can be quiet upsetting even though we might not think it would be. I have been working a lot on my exhibition stuff but today i just wanted to sit down and pour my heart out onto the page an this is what came out for me. I thought i would share it with you so to let you know that if some of you were having an emotional day let it be today or any other day that you are not on your own. As quick as we bounce down we bounce back up.
