After a whirlwind trip last weekend to pick up my hand-carved wooden frames, it was all going a bit too smoothly so I wasn't too surprised that it turns out they are all a bit wonky! Special thanks though to Nick Mahoney for saving them so far- hope it all continues to work out this week as they are for the purple triptych of my family and I really want to use the milkpaint and beeswax on them, and I really don't know what else I would do. Fingers crossed :)

Did I even get anything done today?
Sometimes after a day in the studio I walk away and it looks like I didn't even get anything done. Today was one of those days until I saw proof (on my crappy camera phone-sorry) of this portrait in progress. It shows that, I did in actual fact, get somewhere today :)
I am looking forward to painting in the nest on his head tomorrow and fixing up a few things. x

Honours exhibition at Turner Gallery
I can't believe how traumatic but at the same time nourishing that this study has been. I feel like I spent most of last year in an academic bubble as I slogged through all the writing. Looking back through my photos though (in order to post theses studio developments), I realised I did do a lot of other special things especially with my family.
These pics are from my studio, showing the latest work for an exhibition that will be opening on the 13th April at Turner Gallery in Perth WA. I have also put pictures up of my trip to get custom frames made for my paintings. I will be picking them up in March, fingers crossed they turn out ok :)
Also in this post is a picture of a beautiful nest my partner found in New Zealand and a childs chair made out of a whales bone from the Auckland museum.
