Own Bed

Why is it waking up in your own bed makes your holiday seem like a distant memory??? Its back to the mundane today as the washing needs to be done and the linen changed on the bed etc etc. Bob and Jack are happy I am back and of course I am happy to be home but there is part of me that still needs more adventure. More new sites to see, more new sounds to listen to and scents to smell but the kitty is a bit low :(. I would have thought having a week in Sydney would have satisfied me for a while but I think its made me more restless. Overseas lands are calling me ..... can you hear it??? Its back to business now though. I need to become a well known artist so I sell lots of paintings for lots of money and then I can travel.

My girls and I had a wonderful time in Sydney. Its so big compared to Adelaide. The CBD is just walls and walls of very tall buildings leaving no view of any distance.

The Sydney Opera house is a marvel but its Sydney Harbour Bridge that stole my heart.

Well when someone removes some of the letters from the word 'passengers' they are asking for a pic like this hehehe.

Over the next few posts I will post more pics from our Sydney trip .....

Holidays

Its school holidays and Julia has taken Zoe to visit friends in Perth. Poor Zoe got sick and has an ear infection. They are hoping it has cleared up enough not to give her trouble on the flight. No doubt I'll hear as soon as they land. Anyway without interruptions from my little friend Zoe I should get a lot of art done. Usually when I plan to get a lot done something gets in the way, groan.

As my last work was about France or my dream of going to France one day (it now has a title "The Dream") I thought I'd make a detour and head off to Italy. The piece I'm working on at the moment has an Italian flavour. If I can't actually travel to these places I can at least go there in my work hehehe. That's the beauty of art, you can create your own world. I like to work in layers and people always seem to enjoy the depth I achieve so as I'm working on this piece I've taken a photo of each layer and will post the pics once its all finished. Will be interesting for me to see the transition too. I've just done layer six and its still got a long way to go. I knew I work in layers but didn't realise just how many. Ok on with the next layer!
