Hello, lovelies. My computer broke down on the 23 December, and I’ve only just got it back! Not a lot to say at the moment, though, I’m gradually drifting into some of my projects. As usual, I’ve entered the Shift Art free digital art challenge. I’m a bit rusty so the outline of the girlContinue reading “Belated Happy New Year”

Have you ever seen the film ‘Out of Africa’ with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford? Well, I’ve been working on a piece this week and for some reason it reminded me of this wonderful film!
