No laughing gas was used in the making of these photos!
Just over a year ago some of us met for the first ever Connected Artist meet-up. There were 8 of us (swipe right) - just some of the few who trusted me enough as I started this club from nothing.
Today some of us met again - 38 of the now 124 artists who are taking this journey together.
Someone asked today if I feel proud to have created this. And the truth is - I do. To be able to create a space where people show up for each other, share challenges openly, aren’t afraid of their ambition or what there is to learn. Even if we are still afraid of tackling certain paintings(!) .
To meet in person and hear what a difference this is making for people is actually very humbling.

Things don’t always go to plan, or come easy but this is important - to spark that creative energy, build confidence and see people’s dreams flourish is amazing. Thank you Connected Artists!! (Tomorrow (Saturday) I will be opening some places again.. you need to be on the email list in my bio to get the link.) x

It’s tough working on your own... I did my own work review yesterday and it REALLY helped me go back in, make decisions and get pieces finished or closer to where I want them to be.

This morning we had a work review call in my Connected Artist club - we looked at issues four members were having, came up with title ideas, discussed tools for bigger (huge!) work, and how to develop a new approach alongside existing good sellers.

This is just a small part of what we do together! I’m opening some places on Saturday but the link won’t be here - you must be on the info list.... I did a quick Live story this morning to tell you more, so do have a quick look to see if this sounds good to you, and add your details to the page in my bio so you get your invitation to the group call I’m doing on Saturday to show you more.

Dreaming of a bigger studio space? I was for years... and yet I was quite happy at home in many ways. New blog post about what I’ve learnt from the first few months in my new space.
Maybe too many blues going on? Could be one thing!

Home visit! When I took this painting over, the walls were cream... it would be a lie to say they chose the wall colour to suit the painting because it was already selected. But how perfect is this?! Thank you Jenny for sending me this image. Also, soooo interesting to me as I feel we all have our own colour personalities.

It comes out in our homes, clothes we choose as well as art. Do you agree?

Did you know that the colour Cobalt is named after a goblin in German folklore 'kobold' who haunted the mines and was responsible for poisoning the miners?

Don't eat it basically...! The colour occurs naturally in a blur crystal found in silver mines which contains arsenic. Modern cobalt as a stable pigment was created in the early 1800s by a French chemist.

Favoured by the Impressionists for it's vivid colour cobalt is now often found as a 'hue' which is a modern imitation.

I might do a series of these colour posts if you like them 🙂 disguised as research!

Do you find this? Even when you know it’s what you want, there is a hesitation?
You have two options:
1. Dive right in without any time for thought - just pick a piece, squeeze paint and make a change or new start. Loud music optional but helps!
2. Slow re-entry... clear the junk, sweep floor, take stock of what is underway. Realise 38 paintings is probably too many 😂 .
Tomorrow I’m going for option 1!
