On the rollercoaster.

Well, life is a funny old thing now isn't it. One minute you're up, flying somewhere with the sparrows and swallows, and the next you've landed on your well padded behind in a great big cow pat!
Now, sometimes these little knocks and setbacks that befall the unwary artist can have you cowering under the kitchen table until someone comes along with some Kleenex and a big slice of chocolate cake to coax you out, rub some Savlon on your tender wounds and generally try to make you feel better. All the time the poor artist is wailing, I can't do this any more it's too difficult, I can't paint; but dear reader, this little artist is learning fast and has discovered there are lots of lessons to be learned from little set backs, all of which may be turned to her advantage if she stops whinging and has a think while she munches on that big slice of cake!
Little set backs now mean new opportunities, isn't that an exciting way to look at it.

Yesterdays little blip has given me a whole pile of new ideas to paint, my ladies are definitely in for a fun and wondrous time in the next few weeks, all doing things that ladies of a certain age should not be doing for fear of disturbing their rollers!!

I'm supposed to be on holiday this week, having a nice relaxing time, leaving the whole concept of work firmly shut in the studio, but tomorrows weather forecast is abysmal, not even a trip to the Metro Centre (the gateway to hell posing as a shopping mall) looks appealing. So all these amazing and exciting ideas can be let out of their cages to join in the organised chaos that looms in the studio. The halogen heater can be parked on the window sill and pretend to be the sun, some seventies disco music on the stereo and we're fit to roll!

So tomorrow I shall be safe in the sanctuary of the studio whilst I leave my poor unwavering husband to keep the peace between the daughter, the dog and two thuggish kittens. Lets turn up the volume and dance!
