A quote for a Sunday afternoon

Oooh a wedding....

It's been a while since my last post and things have been pretty manic.  I assisted Jim at a wedding on Saturday - how I love doing these.  I feel so privileged to be part of a couple's special day.  It's just the most fun ever and it's supposed to be work.  Get that!  Here's a little collage of some of the photographs.

I haven't had much time to paint which is terrible.  I have two commissions waiting to be started and fortunately I do not have an immediate deadline, although it may be better if I did!  I am kind of involved in a few projects which are taking up my time, which I will share in another post when the time is right.  I am also trying to learn wordpress (ssshh close your ears blogger) although I have no plans to defect, it's for one of the projects I am involved with.

But I am still here....doing the day job, being a step-mum and trying to fit in some creative time. I am tempted to keep a small sketch book with me so that I can fit some sketches in when I commute etc, but if I do I really musn't put myself under any pressure to fill the book.....just let it flow.

Hope you are well well and not flooded out.  It's supposed to be summer in the UK, but it appears to be monsoon season!

Oh and if you are in Excelsior Springs, MO, please do drop by my dear friend Kelly Berkey's art crawl.....she would love to see you!

Love and happiness

A lovely weekend and a Wedding!

Boy am I tired today. Jim and I had a busy weekend where we photographed the wedding of Laura and Matthew. Although the weather was colder than the preceding days, it was a lovely wedding and guests had flown in all the way from Australia. Above is a collage of some of the photos.

Then yesterday little Daisy and Ollie kept us on our toes so we took them to the park to try and run off some of their energy......didn't really work :o)

Still a lovely weekend and I am looking forward to a nice long Bank Holiday one coming up!

Happy Monday.

Sunday Sketches

Another Sunday Sketches - wow this is becoming a very good habit :o) These are Lien's Converse - they are black but I just wanted to draw the outline. I am debating whether to go over them in ink and then use an ink wash, but I kind of like the simple sketch, It was fun to do and really relaxing too.

Talking of relaxing, I am so tired today after helping Jim photograph a wedding yesterday and we didn't get home until late. So entertaining a 5 and a half year old and an almost 4 year old is taking every last ounce of energy I have. We are off to the park in a mo, so hopefully they will run off some of their energy while we try and relax.

Please head over to Blue Chair Diary to check out the other Sunday Sketches.

Today I will mostly be a photographer

I love working with Jim and today we are shooting a wedding which will be held at Ealing Abbey (pictured above courtesy of JTC Photography).

It will be a busy and tiring day but I really love photographing weddings......being part of a couples day is just magical.

Hope you have a good weekend and I will be back with some photo's tomorrow!
