It's been a little while since my last post, and I am well aware of that! but where oh where have I been! I took a little adventure... one of my first alone in sydney and let me tell you..it was amazing.
I took a train...
and walked across the beautiful Sydney harbor to get to the entertainment center.
and I by chance, I fell into working alongside the lovely Jane Davenport. I helped Jane and her lovely hubby who had a bad back, so I stepped in, and what an experience it was! talking about art, and supplies, inspiring women at the craft and sewing show...it was some of the best times I've had in a long time....who wouldn't enjoy working amongst this!
surrounded by beautiful artwork...
working with a woman that has changed my life in many ways.
but dont fret, in my absence I have been arting, I haven't slacked off, my journal was on display with jane's at the show, but when I got her back into my hands, I opened her up and got lost in the pages again...here is some of my work from the last few days
catching up on some of my index cards, working on homework as a re take the I heart drawing class, to work out my issues with bodies and hands...
working on collages...to paint over
and finally being happy with a body shape!
and after having my peerless watercolours for over 6 months, I thought it was time I put them to use!
so while I've been gone...what have you been up to?
post your link in the comments I'd love to visit your blogs and see what you have been up to the last week! one of my favourite past times is blog hopping, with a bit of an art perve.
take care my lovelies

Love your style, Courtney! The trip and art inspiration and conversation must have been amazing. I need to get better at blogging (and arting) more regularly myself, but I definitely enjoy the visits here!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog today and I love it. I'm working through a similar process with my art right now - lot of playing in and creating art journals (mainly with a fairy tale twist right now) although I took my own little adventure on the weekend to build a sand sculpture (http://craftchick.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/this-is-how-you-weekend/). Thank you for sharing your adventure...and it's fabulous you got to hang out with Jane - I love her work.
