spend more time on my art

I dug out one of my many visual diaries last night and decided to start carrying it around with me… art needs to consume you which means I need to be ever creating… !! Experimented with my oil pastels last night and a new design… quite pleased :)

My Mum uses pastel, my Nanna used oil paints, my sister uses charcoal/pencil and my boyfriends step-dad uses oil and various mediums for sculpture… I’ve stuck with oil pastels and pastel pencil in the past but I want to try something new… like a big chunky oil paint!!

My boyfriends step-Dad is an Artist (Oil & Sculpture) and his stuff is really great – totally different from Mum’s but still good stuff and I have been re-inspired. I need to re-focus… I know I can do this, I know I was given a gift that needs to be developed but I haven’t held a pencil or a paintbrush since Joel left… Need to work on this problem.
