What a year 2024 was, travel to Japan and Fiji, so lucky to see these beautiful places. Except after both trips I came home with a virus which then went to my lungs already weakened by many years of painting in pastel.. Luckily I stopped taking portrait orders in October as I came back from Fiji with Influenza A, Wow! never felt so sick just started to recover when I was diagnosed with pneumonia. I am still slowly recovering after 2 lots of antibiotics.. I am on a health kick to try and beat it. Walking, swimming in the ocean, yoga & meditation and a little bit of fairy dust. To give myself a boost and start painting again I went and purchased a new art desk from my favourite place “The Art Shed” at West End.
Of course it was a flat pack and I was determined to put it together myself. With a little help and watching YouTube tutorials it took me half a day to assemble. Looking forward to getting back to my studio.
Only 10 sleeps to Christmas. These dogs are fortunate to have found their forever homes. At Christmas, consider the dogs that will spend their Christmas Day in shelters, hoping for adoption. Thank you to the dedicated volunteers at SCARS, RSPCA & all the shelters

Do you believe in magic? I do!
It started with a dream. An old mirror from our renovated bathroom, a secret garden with a gate & a magical lock, a special key. Opening into a world of pure imagination for my beautiful granddaughter Alice.. The old mirror had to be reloved the back a painting of my imaginary world of Miss Mousy. The gate was built to fit the mirror, the back was the painting inside the secret garden & the front was your reflection. I will always remember the look of wonderment on Alice’s little face as she placed the key in the lock….
Come with me, and you will see a world of my creation…….
Hold your breath,
Make a wish,
Count to three 1. 2. 3.
“And you’ll be in a world of pure imagination!
Take a look and you’ll see into your imagination”
words from Willy Wonka
Always believe!
You can do or become anything you want to be!
Just believe! #instaart. #artistoninstagram. #instagramartist.

In memory of Charlie, the cat, a Christmas gift voucher from a daughter for her Mum has now become a portrait. With help from her Mum who only had a couple of old photos. We were lucky it gave her Mum time to go through her photos and find one of Charlie in colour. Now the portrait will be a forever memory. www.diart.com.au #catportraits #catsofinstagram #cutecat #clovemycat#artistoninstagram #catpainting #catlovers #cat#catloversclubofinstagram #petportraitartists
