Symbolic still life

I'm anorexic really. Anorexic people look in the mirror and think they look fat. And so do I.

I'm finally finished editing the colour proofs of my book (so tedious!) and I'm really looking forward to making the space and time to paint again.

Part of that process is keeping a new diary and tracking my ideas. Part of it will be going to galleries to feed my eyes. Part of it will be clearing up my studio to make space. And as always, I'm reading a lot. Lots of myth, fantasy and now the Bible. Okay maybe not quite the bible, but about the bible. Interesting, I have no religious education of any kind.

Which brings me to this wonderful paintings.

Once again I have to credit the incredible Ulla for finding artist Dorina Mocan.

They remind me a little of Victoria Crowe's work.

All of it good food!

I'm having some strange Typepad problems but am looking into them and will be blogging again soon.

Great painting, so atmospheric, lovely colours. I keep a scrapbook and always have a notebook in my bag - I'd forget most of my ideas if i didn't.

A friend just dropped her copy of the Crafters Companion that she got for Mother's Day.I'm now browsing through all the blogs. Loved your stuff and was thrilled to see that you are a contributor to Cloth Paper & Scissors. Its not easy to get here, I grab it when i see it. I'm inspired by Kumiko Sudo's work, love that it is all hand sewn.Thanks again
