This journal entry may start out like a list of disaster – because in some ways it is – but it is also about hope, patterns, abstract art and how I am using them to build joy. So.. In June I lost my job, in early July my dog died, in late July I had an operation. I did get another job and I like it, for a while it looked like it may all turn out OK but then another disaster struck so now in October I will be forced to declare my family homeless and goodness knows what will happen then! It’s been a crummy summer and it has rained a lot! During this time I have found it hard to concentrate of any form of art but it is has never been far from my thoughts. In this last month I have started to have some fairly hellish images moving into my thoughts that I have not requested to be there. At first I actually thought about working with them and trying to portray them thinking this may help but then I realised that could just make them more intense and I want them to go away – so instead I picked a pallette – I decided on yellow for sunlight and green for growth and I then began working on a series of patterns using these colours – it has been helpful. I saved these pictures in a folder called “Sunny Disposition” and have started to think of them as patterns of hope.

Kids Hooded Sweatshirt / Stay warm with this classic hooded sweatshirt. 90/10 cotton-poly blend, 10.2 ounce set-in sleeve pullover sweatshirt with hood. 100% cotton face. Double-needle stitched armholes and bottom band. Imported. Many many thanks to the customer who has just bought a Kids Hooded Sweatshirt of “Crazy Frog”. Thankyou for your visit to my store! Courtesy Wikimedia here Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura (meaning “tail-less”, from Greek an-, without + oura, tail), formerly referred to as Salientia (Latin saltare, to jump). The name frog derives from Old English frogga, (compare Old Norse frauki, German Frosch, older Dutch spelling kikvorsch), cognate with Sanskrit plava (frog), probably deriving from Proto-Indo-European praw = “to jump”. Most frogs are characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season. The distribution of frogs ranges from tropic to subarctic regions, but most species are found in tropical rainforests. Consisting of more than 5,000 species described, they are among the most diverse groups of vertebrates. However, populations of certain frog species are declining significantly. A distinction is often made between frogs and toads on the basis of their appearance, caused by the convergent adaptation among so-called toads to dry environments; however, this distinction has no taxonomic basis. The only family exclusively given the common name “toad” is Bufonidae, but many species from other families are also called “toads,” and the species within the toad genus Atelopus are referred to as “harlequin frogs”.
