New Designs and photo's

Christmas is coming!

I have piles of plastic bags full of Christmas pressie's stacked up (out of reach) in my spare room. I have little idea what is in them and looking at them it would seem I couldn't possibly have missed any one! However I usually have and it's usually my husband!! Poor soul. We are now speeding at break neck speed towards the dreaded day that we all look forward to so much much and yet when it starts and is finished, you realise that the expectation was far more enjoyable!! This year we are going to be fed at my mothers for lunch, my little boy will then sleep and Disney will be the best childcare ever invented! Well, I hope you all have a great Christmas and Santa knows that you really did try and be good this year!

For Little Ladies.

These 3 paintings are really fun, bright and pretty.

I'd love them for Jessica's room, when asked which one she liked she said they were all her favorite! They are the sort of pictures that a little girl will love and wont grow out of for years.

I have bought a domain name today http://www.little-art.co.uk/ there is nothing there as yet. I now need to get it hosted and build a web site. No Problem! Easy! Isn't it? I will probably try and do it myself to begin with...but if that dosen't work I might have to find a 15 year old school kid who knows 100 times what I do about websites and has career aspirations of being a web designer. I'll carry on with the blog until I can get my head round what to do next.

Here come the boy's!

The canvases come in either 20x20cm or 30x30cm, any wording can be replaced by a childs names.

More Little-Art Friends

Little-Art, for the Nursery.

These are hand painted on to canvas 30cm x 30cm. Perfect as a trio for the wall in baby's nursery

First glimpse!

Its been a couple of months since I created this blog, most of which have been spent at the drawing board. Well, truthfully every Tuesday, Wednesday am, Thursday and a bit of Saturday...childcare permitting!

There have been a number of 'crisis of confidence' moments, when the brush was thrown down in frustration and I stormed from the room...I particularly hated the lion (comming soon) until I realised a couple of days later it was because he looked like a bear having a bad hair day! I hope I have solved that issue...the lion now has a new face. I decided that I was approaching this process from the wrong direction. Instead of thinking 'what do people want to buy?' (and following my Fathers advice) I started to paint for myself...from that point I've been having a lot of fun.

Many of my family and friends have been asking to see what I'm doing and I think I'm ready to show a glimpse of what I've done so far. I have some 'Boy's' paintings and nursery designs which I'll add as soon as possible. I'd be happy to receive your comments.

Where do I start?

I have 1 week to go until two things happen and life is changed 'yet agian' forever.

My maternity leave will end and my employment will end on the same day. On Monday the 7Th September I will become (the first) full time Managing Director of the 'Family'!!!!
What is the The Family? Well it comprises of 4 separate departments -this is important because each has it's own goals and objectives and they are very rarely if ever the same.

Mrs T (Wife & Mother)- 35 years old. Artistically trained at University, made a success at being a designer of wall paper, textiles and stationary during the 1990's. Lost her way a little after a redundancy incident in 1999. Many years later she found herself being a 'Resource Planning Manager'. Recently she has voluntarily grasped redundancy for a second time and finds herself with the time and resource to return to her first love Art and Design. Great things are hoped from this opportunity.

Mr T (Husband, father) - Finds lost souls and gives them encouragement to be themselves and fore fill their dreams. Fabulous father and all round great guy.

Miss J - First born - daughter. 3 and a half years old. Fun loving, bouncy wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Master O - Second (and last!) born - son. Nearly 1 and all round good egg.....so far!
