Carnival in Venice

I am delaying work by looking at images of the Venice Carnival, and here is my favourite, the angel in Florian's Cafe,  I've never forgotten sitting next to this guy in the cafe on St Mark's Square.

Mono Printing

I like the fact that in Mono Printing you have to make good with what may start out as a bit of an accident, computer work allows you to be so perfect, sometimes you need that nudge to take you into unexplored territory.  Here are some of the prints from Rosey Prince's Printing Without A Press Class, you too can do printing at the Art House with Rosey if you sign up in September.

         

                               

Return to the world of work...

The time has come for serious amounts of work and absolute self improvement, it can be done, plus mega hours at the studio so there will be no guilt factors pressing in from in any direction.

I have to admit it, I envy the gorgeous cafe at the Art Hub Studios, hopefully it is not open on a daily basis, or my jealousy would be all consuming.  However I do know myself and admit that I would spend far too much time in there, so  maybe just being able to make tea and coffee for myself is enough.

Back in London to be met by a pile of post including letter one saying that a distant relative has placed money in the bank of China for me and we really shouldn't let the government get it, with a handy email address at the top of the letter for me to reveal all my Bank Codes...  

It is a marvellous thing to consider that my coffee machine awaits me in the morning.  Studio, here I come, I hope you are as neat as I left you two weeks ago ...

Eating out

Waiting for my car brakes to be fixed, I am eating at Flowers Cafe Craven Arms, 

nice tea and toast.

Bears

Drawing is easy with the new I pad brush, I am sure it's a Faustian pact,
