My Garden.

Well, it’s been ages since my last post. I’ve been feeling pretty bad, but I’m starting to come good again. This is what it’s like with Chronic Fatigue syndrome.

The nausea has bee terrible. I had my intravenus vitamin C yesturday. It really dose seem to help.

Enough winging…I got this cute little cat at a garage sale. I just couldn’t resist. He did have a fishing rod, but I lost it on the way home. So I gave him a paint brush for now.

 

I’ve hardly been outside at all. My garden is a wreck.I’ve just not had the energy to get out there. Plus it’s sooooo cold.

As you can see in this photo, the back yard has potential. I have a vegie patch at the end of the yard. I really need to use it.

On the left, up the back,  I have an enclosed garden. Kind of like a shade house. This photo shows the inside. Its actually quite long. I have some seats ect.

It is in need of some TLC.

Looking at the first photo, on the left side of the garden I have a small pool area. Great when its 40 degrees. It’s only a small area for a little pool. Mainly for therapy/exersize.

This photo is not recent. That pool is long gone. I’m getting a new one for next summer.

WOW. The garden looks soooo big . I guess it is. Especially for a Housing Trust place.

I’m very happy here. I moved in about 10 years ago.

Thats enough for now. I’ll leave you with a page from my sketch book .

Ps: Thankyou to everyone who has been reading my blog. The wonderful comments I’ve recieved really encourage me.

Paint, paint, paint.

There were 2 garage sales yesturday. I didn’t get anything. Maybe next week. I’m sure I get withdrawals from lack of garage sales. I just want lots and lots of goodies.

I’ve been so busy painting and drawing. I’ve go to many projects on. I’m still working on my BIG canvas. This is the one for my kitchen. I cant wait until it’s finished.

It’s acrylic on canvas.

20″x24″.

They are actually cherries in the jug. Hopefully they will look more like cherries than plums.

 

I need to make a hot water bottle cover as soon as I have a minute. I dont have a sewing machine so I’ll hand sew it.

 

 

Here I’m also working on 2 portrait drawings and a fun self portrait in acrylics.

I’m also still working on my Christmas cards.

I’m doing a house drawing as well. Not sure if I’ll paint that or leave it at graphite.

Theres just so much I want to do. I’m still framing pictures. I want to take some down the street this week . I really need some sales.

 

 

This is Astrid. My mum’s cat. She lives with me as my brother, who shares mum’s house, is allergic. I dont mind at all. She is so funny and sweet.

I bought the pink faux fur blanket for me. A little luxury. Astrid decided she will sleep on it, only on it. She will sleep nowhere else. If I move it she jumps on me at night. She’ll just keep me awake until she gets it back.

Guess who is the boss in my home.

July 1st.

I haven’t written anything for a little while. But I’ve still been painting and drawing. It never stops. I’ve also been sorting out my studio/loungeroom.  There is not a lot of room.

This corner is for canvas storage. The best I can do. I need to frame a lot of paintings on paper soon. I hope they will all fit.

 

 

 

 

This is where I sit to watch T.V. I do a lot of drawing and small paintings here. I know it looks like a complete mess. But it’s really very organised.

                                                                                                                                                                                  

I put 2 new paintings for sale on  REDBUBBLE.COM  and  IMAGEKIND.com .  It really is a good way to sell my art. Go over and have a look. There’s a link in MY SITES for each.
