A night on the town tonight; we attended the opening night showcase of Laurie Bullied’s floral art celebrated with fine wines and vermouth by Bettenay Wines and Margret River Nougat and a grazing table presented by Gourmet Food Merchant of Cowaramup – what a lovely evening.
This week I have been inspired. I have painted 2 “blue” canvas and will add one more to make a series. Today I tried a few different colours using the same technique and in art class today we experimented with watercolours. 
Acrylic on canvas – 250cm x 250cm
Today we took a stroll around the caravan park and stumbled across these interesting displays.
What a great opportunity this was to get some fabulous insight into the writing of a novel – and a detailed look at the crime fiction genre. If I was a writer I would be immersed in that great work right now! Inspirational! Educational! Thank you Garry Disher.
A great panel discussion, “Criminal Minds” with Michael Robotham, Leigh Straw and Garry Disher this afternoon.
Tomorrow I am taking part in a workshop led by Garry Disher – “Writing Crime Fiction.” As a reader I think I will get great insights from this session.
Over the past few weeks I have read 3 books; A Place to Remember, True Blue and the Book of Colours, (4 if you include the The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart with its gorgeous cover and flower art between the covers) that have spoken to me about art, painting, creativity and the therapeutic value of creativity. The universe feels like it is sending me a message, to say I have been inspired is an understatement – I cannot stop painting! And I am loving the process.
