Happy Earth Day! Be kind to your planet, say hi to the flowers, sing with the birds... all that fun stuff.

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far.

The last few months of 2008 were a struggle for me and I became quite ill. But, with the new year (and a new easel), I am feeling a lot better and ready to start working on some new paintings. I'm also having my website re-designed and have some new projects and collaborations coming up that I'm excited about.

So, I had better get started.

With it being Earth Day (ok, so I'm a bit late), I wanted to feature a few of my favourite earthy pieces from around DA. I'll probably add some more later on...








The 22nd is also my birthday, and I must thank my friend for the great book on Greek and Roman mythology she bought for me... very inspiring.

I was most pleasantly surprised this morning to log in and find I have a DD for From The Earth! Many thanks to ^oilsoaked for picking my work, and thank you to everyone who has added me to their watch list, commented on my work or added it to their favourites. I appreciate it!

Some time ago I was approached by a Finnish band, Unshine, for permission to use my Green Woman painting on the cover of their new album. Their website has now been updated with album information, if anyone is interested in checking it out.

I'm keeping busy with my illustration class and some animations. I'm working on a couple of new oil paintings, but they're coming along very slowly. We have a break coming up soon, so I hope to be able to devote some time to those and get some work up
