Sunday painter. Education. Strong ability to detect my typos & poor grammar upon posting.

Yr 12 student's ceramic sculpture finished.

Kids working with clay are resilient; they withstand the trials & error of the process. We worked together; experimenting with forms & glazing techniques.

As I'm not a ceramics specialist I'm proud of being able to guide her & the end result.

Satricial lyrics of Father John Misty’s ‘She Cleans up’

I like Taylor.

This was just the totally wrong album for this moment.

I needed more from one of the most powerful women in the world. #lifeofashowgirl

Contrast colour landscape finally finished.

Working without black or white, to convey tone & using the vibrancy of opposite colours, side by side.
