In between cooking, shopping, doing laundry, washing dishes, changing nappies and schooling my children I sometimes find a spare moment to doodle, draw or photograph something or someone. Those are the moments that keep me going, even if they are few and far between. Food for the artist mom’s soul.

What a nice looking young man Micklyn :) Wonderfully composed with great light (isn’t natural the best!) and I love his expression. I always enjoy your work but especially your portrait work :)
Thanks Shelly! i fiddled around with this portrait for such an age that I can’t ‘see’ it anymore, lol. Does that ever happen to you??

Oh hun does that ever happen to me! Like….ALL the time! I know exactly what you are saying. You can’t see the forest for the trees sort of thing. I sometimes have to walk away from it for a day or two and then go back and look. But trust me, this is fantastic :)
In the old days, you shot your pics, dropped them off, checked them out… done!! or maybe fiddled around in a dark room for a while, but there was only so much you could do. Now they can go off in a million different ways… such choice is over-whelming!! (but cool, too!) Thanks, sweetie, for the huge encouragement!
