I am still here artistic one and yes have been very busy with business and the new house and I havent created in such a long time so with my 50th only weeks away I will create a masterpiece of age I think?

I'm still here , but been so busy packing as I move on Friday. Hubbie and I are moving into town. Our house sold in only 6 weeks! we have brought another in Levin. The move has lot's of pros and cons (l love the countryside here) the good news is we do still have a rural feel at the new place as it backs onto a reserve and sits on the town boundary.
I've not done any painting for 3 weeks....and I'm feeling it! I plan to get back to the paintbrushes after the school holls are finished (they start on Friday.)

Hi folks, all is well here,except for the bloody weather, have just finished a new drawing, 'The Bee Sting', we are having trouble with our cropping software but i will put it on the wall and try and take a reasonable shot of it. We have been trying to knock the garden into shape over the last few week's, the best news of all, my eldest daughter is coming to stay for a week next Monday, she lives in Oz and we haven't seen her for four year's so we are all very excited and i won't be close to the computer for a week, i wish everyone well and look forward to seeing lot's of new work from everyone,take it easy.

My poor dog got taken to the shampoo, clip and cut and looks like a shaggy brown sheep, yes I think we will have something at home with one or to musicians of note to sooth the evening. Like Rhonda we are still moving in after being here 2 weeks now. I need to paint but still settling in.

all the best to the movers and makers out there and I will catch up soon.
