• Thursday Doors: Two doors, art, book review and chitchat

  

  Today, I have two doors from Melbourne that my daughter sent me for the Thursday Doors challenge that Dan hosts. The board says, ‘RMIT University’. So, I googled to find out more. The image that popped up on Google was one of a modern styled building. So this is what I got from the net-…

• Art : Reflections

  

  I’ve been trying to paint using a limited palette. This is my second painting in the limited palette series. I call it ‘Reflections’. The painting is based on a photograph.

• Art: Imperfectly perfect

  

  This is my second oil painting. I call it ‘Imperfectly perfect’ – the image is inspired by a painting I saw on Pinterest. With this painting done, I want to go back to drawing and shading. I think it’s important every once in a while ( once a year or 6 months) to practice sketching…
