I know i kinda have been missing in action the last 10 days or so. I think i needed a breather after the mammoth task that was this website development. Since then tho,I have also done another website for the graphic design side of my business, this time i avoided wordpress all together, as its not the kind of site that I really need to update too often hence i am easily able to do the site in php, html css -(for those of you who are into websites).
I mostly happy with the way it came out. I am not a funky over the top designer, i know alot about handcoding and design etc. so my designs tend to be less funky and more about conveying an message as well as being functional and easy to manage. Anywho that site is done woot! Another thing off the list, I still have bit to tweak on both sites but i have also been working on clients work this week so it has to be put aside for a little while (i have 3 website developments to do – funny for a person who has decided not do too many websites anymore) but i do enjoy it and happy for the work atm.

Artwise, i have attended 3 life drawing classes in the past week and absolutely loving it. It is something i have wanted to do for a while as i know it will force me to progress as an artist and illustrator and i would dearly love to be able to draw people so this is an important one to dedicate myself to. I was thrilled to discover a local sketch group that i could attend which suited me timewise in terms of managing my boys.
Anyway.. the first two sessions were pretty poor effort (not shown here), i had a fabulous instructor on wednesday which progressed things along tremendously so in yesterdays session it all moved alot better (the pics here are from yesterdays session), it took me a while to warm up but but in the end i managed to get the proportions reasonable. I have a real struggle with legs, the whole bottom half i just tend to get completely out of whack.
This morning i spent about 3 hours taking various photos for future still life works with fruit etc. I have exhausted all of my current materials and needed some new inspiration and this did just the trick for both. I hope i can get to some of this soon just never seem to be enough hours in the day.
So, finally for today I want to wish all the mums a very Happy Mothers Day for tomorrow, i was woken this morning by my 5.0 asking whether it was mothers day yet. LOL … i am looking forward to yummy coffee in the morning and hugs from the boys. Entertaining for lunch with the family having a lovely seafood lunch.
Have a great day everyone and enjoy the little things they are what count ! Did i say entertaining ? sigh i better go clean the house !!!
