Holidays was alright, good sleep ins and spent alot of time with these guys.

Feasting and drinkin' meetin new peeps.

Room

1 2 3 Finally have my own room. The week has gone by so fast. It doesn't even feel like I've done anything since but I've started another painting and did some sculpture work, and well started on most of the things that I needed to do. Now to start another painting, finalise mural design+statement and continue fundraising. Few weeks to go!

Old wall. It feels weird taking photos off the wall, its like its been there for so long and now it's just a blank canvas. The placement will never be the same!

My little creatures.

It was a beautiful day and my lovelies are all clean.

Boy is beautiful

I'm Old Gregg

Do you love me?

Today I woke up and saw my dad's bird sitting outside where it shouldn't be. It was strange cos it's normally in a cage in the backyard and I just stood there staring at it for awhile. Weird

During the afternoon while I was having my little Mighty Boosh marathon I could hear rain pouring from my room so I went out to check it out. It was pouring heaps while the sky was still so bright then it stopped for a short while.

Been watching movies lately! since I've learnt to borrow them from the library.. Life as a dog, You're my hero, Scott Pilgrim vs the world, Edward scissorhand, Harvey, Sid and Nancy, The science of sleep and now The shining. All in four days. I don't know how these will help me but I'll just call them inspiration. Had a nice meal with Susan today filled with dumplings and noodles.

Started on a new painting also of Fluffy (the right one) and some others.

Another dog painting

Hello
Painting and sculpture class.

This is what I painted today in class! of my lovely dog when he was sick. I just love his expression even though it's sad. Still gotta add colour to his fur patch and fix the body a bit. I think it looks quite good the way it is, colour wise.

When painting I like to look at the progress of of how it came about. So I just snap a pic when I do any changes and see what can be improved. So here is a little before and after shot, also including my other painting from the earlier post that still needs some retouching. It makes me happy seeing that much change from how shitty it was before.

The two lovely stooges

Preparation

Little experiment painting on glass.

So this year for painting I'm basing my work around this relationship between my dog and I. I think. Human and animal relationship. People ask why my dog, I'm not too sure besides the fact that he's adorable and he likes me. I think we just have this little connection that no one else has. and no I'm not that in love with my dog. ha. also why gnomes? I think there's just something about them little cheeky things. They aren't what they really ARE!

Sneaky shot. I am so helping out. My group for exhibition due Monday! First group to go. So much stuff to do, sorta, in so little time. Was my day off, came to meet with the group to set up. We shall get it done, for sure. The place is such a chill area, I want a studio over here instead.

Something I found today while looking through 'costumes for your dog' at Dymocks. Teehee it's so cute, I wanna do that to my dog. It'll look so ugly on the sides though.

Holla boy

My baby boy was sick yesterday :( He would just sit in a little corner far away from where he would normally sit. Apparently I think he had a rash near his bottom and he stank! so gave him a wash. It was irritating watching my parents cut his hair cos it was getting in the way and spray this thing that stings on the area. Oh I could feel his pain. He is all better today though! so it's all good. Spent the day in the studio painting from 9:30 to 3:30ish. My teacher is such an inspirational nice man.

Pie tart

Fluffy says 'Happy New Year to you! you & you.

I haven't been doing anything lately even though the weather was so great, so I decided to bake!

Apple tart - What I made yesterday from an old recipe I wrote down ages ago. It tastes pretty good but no one is eating it. So sad.

Beef pie- My first attempt today, and it was delicious!

Gnome Cake

He's so cute! I feel quite sad today, well really shitty when I found out that ..... A little piece of me just broke even though I knew it would soon happen anyways. Anyways woo Gnome!

My dogs

Just a random clip from a few days ago, after they just had a wash. I look so urghh anyways enjoy :)

Today is soo hot, soo nice for some beach time. Went to the City earlier though to check out some canvases cos they were on sale! but I didn't get any cos they weren't the ones I wanted, sigh, such a waste of a day. My head has been hurting.

Friday morning

The only lovely company that I had.

Now that I'm done with everything, what is there to do next?

I have no clue. So lost I am.

Wonderful day of sleeping in the frontyard

in the warm sun! It's like an outside bedroom. It is soo fun jumping on it and is such a comfy mattress. too bad we got too many.


Spent today cleaning since it's time to chuck things out to the front and washing the doggies cos it was such a great day.



lovely boy

Gangduh Fluffy. Such a cracker.
