Jules Dolly Art: Melody Ross

I find if I am to paint then there's nothing quite having a block of time to spend, lost in colour. I tend to have more than one painting on the go - sometimes I'll be finishing off one and I'll need to add some detail, perhaps another layer, then move on.

This is how I spent my afternoon. Today Will spent pretty much all day on the allotment and I de-camped and set up a table outside in the garden. The sun was just gorgeous. As a Leo, I love it. So I took my little table, shlepped it outside, and then whatever paints I had at home. I still have my studio over at my parents, tho' I find that I need to be more home based these days with work, clients etc... so I have to double up on art space.

I have been working on a commission and also finishing off my paintings so that I can make prints, and create some stock for my soon to be launched etsy shop. Started making a design for my wedding invitation, which I thought would be a lovely Julesie thing to do.......More about this another time!

I enjoyed being outside, catching the sun and deep in thought as I played with paint, colour, layers. I have been reading my Kelly Rae Roberts book again which I just love and spent some time earlier going through her blog post timeline and how she started her art journey and where she is to this day. It's inspiring and I must remember that it's possible for me too. I'm doing quite alot of soul searching these past weeks about different aspects of my life. Focusing on much journal writing, drawing and sketching, plus looking at how I can support my book coming out on 29th April. Got to get my head round this and put some energy there in recording video. Yikes!
