Back from Holiday

I am back and full of energy after a full on but relaxing holiday with friends and family. I love having friends and family around and I never get tired of having visitors in my home.

My word for 2013 is Harmony. My goal is to find harmony and peace within myself. It is definitely a challenge for me. I am very focused on achievement and I am comparing myself to others at all times. My goal is to accept, love and be compassionate to myself so that I can radiate love and compassion to everyone around me.

The first thing I will make sure I do more is laugh. I am sure that by laughing I will take life less serious and I will convert negative energy to positive energy. To get rid of negative energy and replace it with positive energy is a major part of being peaceful and harmonious inside.

I am looking forward to a creative 2013. After a month of holiday, out of my studio, my hands are itching to get back into the paint. I have very exciting projects in the pipeline for 2013.

The year started off very exciting with me being featured in Tell All Tuesday at  Jennibellie Studio. It is a blog full of inspiration and creativity. Make sure you have a look around Jenny's blog while you are there. 

I have also delivered a painting to the Kiwiana Exhibition at the Artist Den and Milford Gallery in Auckland. Very exciting!

My painting "The Mount" is exhibited and for sale there at $380 NZD. 

My plans for 2013 includes, among other things, a couple of workshops and a project aiming at encouraging kids to listen to their creativity.

I will also continue to blog about art and life in general so stay tuned! I am looking forward sharing it all with you!

...and remember to laugh more!!! :-)
