Change of Heart

Well, I am female so changing my mind is an option! I have realised that I am losing track of all my blogger friends, many people are still looking at this blog and thinking I have disappeared of the face of the earth. So, it is back to this one...... Now I just need to sum up three months. Rain, rain and more rain.....lol! In fact I made full use of not being and work and made a couple of visits to Greece which was lovely, the first of which was entirely unexpected.

After taking lots more photos, I finally even got around to putting some of them in a photo book . This was a small trial with a larger project in mind. I decided to take part in the Art Project this year but, chose a travel journal rather that restricting myself to art only. I cannot believe that it is now almost finished already and had lots of fun selecting quotes and images for it.

Family wise, my Mum was not so good for a while which resulted in some major changes. I was glad that for once, I wasn't rushing backwards and forwards from work to check up on the situation. Art wise, I have have worked pretty much on anything that inspired me although I did do a couple of portaits as commissions. The lastest one was of this very attractive lady. It was a bit of a challenge in that it needed to be A3 and I have not worked in pastels on that scale before.

Of course, sunny images of Skiathos have also helped when the weather has been so awful so a few of those have occupied my time very pleasantly.

I have tried to make inroads in the garden which was badly in need of some tlc but, at fast as I have weeded, they have all grown back...I have resorted to weeding in the rain! Thankfully, I did manage to get all the decking painted before we needed an ark! Of course, there has also been plenty of photography, most of it of rain but, a few are up on my photography blog. As always I have been enjoying watching the butterflies emerge.....it is a good year for Skippers.

I also started the 365 project which is to take a photo every day. I confess to falling behind on that one........but, that may go a little better if we get some summer weather. It has been really inspirational looking at other peoples work as well as taking part and I do think in a small way it is influencing my photography. For sure, it has pushed me into being a little more creative. Meanwhile, that is enough from me ~ three months in a nutshell!....I am hoping all is well with everyone. Have a great weekend :-)
