water colour in wine country

I went to visit my brother and his wife this weekend and their property which is in wine country, was covered in these yellow flowers. I spent some time in the afternoon having a go at a water colour of these pretty flowers.

culinary experimenting

The last few days I have watched too many food shows - got me inspired to experiment with a few meals.

On the weekend I had a go at a pork chopped, on a bed of mash potato, apsaragus, and fresh apple sauce and potato crisps.

Next I had a go at my own version of steak and salad...cous cous salad with fresh herbs, char grilled cherry tomato and steak - which was very Yummy.

some more water play

It's been pretty busy recently but I have managed to do a couple of water colour paintings between everything else. I also cleaned my vaccume cleaner bag in my shower a few weeks ago (so I could contain all the dust in one space) and I left my feet prints, I thought it was so cool that I took a photo.

teeth art

Well it's been a while since I blogged but have been continuing my creativity without the blogging. A few weeks ago I was heading off to my art group with no idea of what I was going to do. As I was leaving I saw 3 plaster casts of my teeth that I got from my dentist and had no idea of what to do with them. So I decided to paint them bright colours and use them as paper weights. Here are the results....

holiday happenings

I have not posted a blog for awhile but have still been getting involved in creative pursuits. I enjoyed lots of cretive inspiration in Melbourne last week. I had such fun at the ABBA exhibiton - they were such an amazing creative team making some of my favourite music of all time. I also went to the Tim Burton Retrospective exhibit, I was amazed to see how many drawings, paintings and scultures Tim had done over his careerer. I was also able to go to the European Masters exhibition, and loved seeing some beautiful paintings and scultpures from some of my favourite artist, such as Monet, Dagas and Renoir. I also discoverd an artist I didn't know of - max Beckmann who was a German artist who was driven out of Germany by Hitler.
I love all the street art in Melbourne too - there is a photo that I have included that is of a chalk footpath artist. I also got a few more pictues of lamps in Melbourne which I hope to take some time to draw or paint.

I also had fun creating a cheese feast from the Vic markets.

well happy creating.

I have been working on my photo collage of the street I live in. It's called Low st. I think it would be interesting to see these photos of the places of the street in a few years time to see what has changed over time. Thinking about how many of these place are relatively new for my town, I'm sure there will be lots more changes.

a dinner inspiration

Tonight I was inspired to  be a bit more creative and experimental with dinner tonight. I made a yummy vego meal - moroccan mushrooms with couscous and made a few changes of my own. Then I had some fresh strawberries that I wanted to use so I have my first try as making sorbet, again I so love the bright red colour of the strawberries. Ah there is my love of red again...
