Update Shocker

Hello children, I've just remembered that this blog exists and so I have decided to update. It's not so easy writing every day when you have 48 hours worth of coursework to do all the time, but my work is done so I'm back and I'm going to attempt to keep this blog going.

I have decided to turn this into a sort of art blog, it would be a music too if I was technologically advanced enough to put things on here for download. I'll just say what I've been listening to and tell you to look for it on hype machine or whatever.

So, as an introduction, I like art, painting mainly, and I'll put pictures of my work up here as I do it.
My art is generally unpretentious, don't go expecting big squares of colour with bits of cereal glued in them using animal fat, I go for the acrylics & oils and the images of things that actually exist.

My most recent painting is acrylic on board and is a painting of me in an arboretum as a 4 year old (ish). I found the photo whilst looking through albums the other day and the blossom and blue dress made me feel really cheery because the weather was crap. So I painted it.

I usually go in for a really detailed, realist style and my Dad's always telling me to try something a bit looser and less fiddly. I'd been looking at some impressionism books the day before so I tried something a bit more painty and textured for the plants.

Ok, I'm trying to upload the picture but my hard drive is so full I think it's slowed down my computer. Does that happen? I'm not good with computers really. I only use appleworks, iphoto, photoshop and safari so don't come correcting me all about the place.

I have a few newish photos on my flickr account, not many admittedly but do go check it out, want a look?

The photo of me in the garden won't load onto photobucket despite it being a small image so I'll have to do another post later with that in it. Later.
