ARTISTIC INSPIRATIONS Happy Hour or should I say NOT– as I tried writing this yesterday from poolside Happy Hour in Candi Dasa Bali,  but you know how things are you have a sip or two of a nice cocktail and all your cares fly away and any thoughts of what you should be doing suddenly […]

ART IN THE SPA So you know the drill, you have a special occasion coming up, something romantic like an anniversary maybe, lol and you want to celebrate in style and make it special.  Well that’s what we have done with nearly all of our wedding anniversaries, bar a few when the kids were little […]

ARTISTIC INSPIRATION It’s our wedding anniversary on Saturday, so don’t call us-we won’t be answering the phone, lol we will have other things on our minds!  Here is a painting which may give you some idea, this is our actual bed, but I don’t know what all the cats are doing there!  What was I […]

THE ART OF MOVING Now who was the idiot that thought that would be a good idea!!!!  Fourteen days in Bali sounds nice, yea right!  Mmm…might have been moi ! (well Bali was fantastic, it was the aftermath that sucked! Lol) You see the timing of this little holiday really sucks but it worked out […]

BIRD PAINTINGS In this painting “Spring at last” is a sweet little bird named Floyd, a cockatiel whom we shared our life’s with for several years after Bryan and I got married. You see, at that stage we lived in an apartment and the rules were no pets.  Well I think a bird did not […]

ART INSPIRATIONS This painting “Happy New Year at Regine’s” was inspired by my mad modelling days, and crazy mad they were too, but sooo much fun. As you can see from this artwork (which sold in Japan) we models know how to kick our heels up and we did! However I have to admit to […]

WHY I STARTED PAINTING Dancing asparagus I hear you say, mmm…well moi have always been a little bit crazy and that probably is and asset when you are an artist! Lol Anyway this painting was the first one that I actually painted, on canvas that is. MURAL ON THE NURSERY WALL You see I was […]

HAPPINESS THROUGH ART Well that is easier said than done sometimes isn’t it?  For me it is something that I understood with time and to make oneself happy may not always be through art necessarily but I do think it comes from making a decision and getting absorb and involved in something other than our […]

CAT & BIRD PAINTING This painting was one of several I painted on this theme of Cats and Birds for my gallery in Japan. Obviously I am an animal lover so it is not too much of a stretch to be inspired by them, and over the years we have shared our lives with many […]
