She loves buttons

Well here we are, another Monday, where is this month going to!?  It always seems the same in the New Year,  January and February seem to wiz by so that you hardly notice they have been and gone.  I seem to be getting nowhere fast, work is progressing very slowly I only did this one painting, 'She loves Buttons' (yes I do!) last week. I experimented with a bit more collage in this one and sewed the buttons onto the paper.  Other things are demanding my attention.  We are trying, at the moment to organise all the dates of the different artists for our courses this year which isn't as easy as I thought it would be, firstly I roughly planned out the whole six months and then artists have to confirm their dates and it all gets changed around again.  We have found some new artists and Im quite excited about the range of courses we will be offering this year.  I myself want to go on most of the courses if I have time between cooking cakes and lunches!  I also have the dreaded tax returns to do, I do the accounts for both of us, so that will be next week with no painting for me!  It always seems when I cant paint I have loads of ideas but when I can sit down and do what I like I just sit there!! Why is that?

Here is a lovely flock of seagulls over our house, I love the sound of seagulls and always rush outside when they come over, bit sad but there you go!  Have a good week, think of me up to my eyeballs in receipts and invoices, where is that old biscuit tin I keep them in?
