I think the Fauvists were the best at the Degas to Dali exhibition as well as the art gallery shop.

Its gone

Somebody bombed over the top, with a boring blob. Glad I got a photo of it last year.

Here is our experiment for picass and blogs.

Enjoying

An iced coffee with Eleanor on the way home from school.

Baby Shower

The baby shower for Harry. Who was to know that a week later he would need to be born. December 15th 2011

Just going through the motions so that I can help the teachers at school.

The pleasure of growing things.

There's something really joyful about Plants. I love the way nature produces such incredible repeating patterns in their form. This is one of the sunflowers that lights up my city balcony. I can lie in my bed and look at them for ages. I don't even mind that they are yellow.

Check out those side burns

After a long day Andrew unloads the car after shopping. Looking forward to resting those weary legs. Only thing is we've got to put it away.

Using photogene on my iphone

Using the frame effect, mirror effect aand vignette effect. My first passionfruit flower after four years.

Bill Hammond interpretation

Room 23 did a fantastic job of carefully studying Bill Hammond's work. Here is what they exhibited at the Balmoral School Art Exhibition.

Art Exhibition at Balmoral School

Dalton Ghetti creates amazing art on the tips of used pencils

8x10 photo collages for Hybrid scrap booking.

I put these photo collages together on photoshop to print out as 10x8s. I have a plan to "hybrid" scrap them on 12x12 papers and embellish. I would like to make use of my digital stocks and paper stocks without forsaking either craft.

Room 23 made mother's day cards

Photo altered in art rage

I used the palette knife in art rage to move the pixels around. I love these plants not sure what they are though. I took this photo in Altura Gardens in Waitomo 2010.

Finally scrapping the England photos. Its was always easier to leave these ones after Granny and Grandad died. Couldn't really face the emotions. Now I'm used to them being gone. Andrew and I were so lucky to get the chance to go and see them, me for the last time and Andrew for the first. They took us to Windsor to let Andrew have a look, but there was no time to go in as they couldn't have handled all the walking. It didn't matter, we were happy with just seeing the outside. I still have my memories of the school trip I went on, to visit the castle as small child.
