Interesting Artists blogs

I have discoverd two great blogs for Artists, via https://twitter.com/TheArtistsWeb, who I follow on twitter. One is http://tonymoffitt.blogspot.com/ the other is http://onlinevisualartists.com/forum/ run by Sarah Schoenfield. They both offer a wealth of ideas, help, advice and support for Artists, buyers or collectors. So pleasd I found them, thank you TheArtistsWeb.

Had a good day yesterday, sitting in my garden with my pastels exploring ideas for my next series of paintings. Bliss. Always get excited by colour, and I am 'feeling' how I want to paint them and how I want to use colour and texture. Going through a phase where I don't think my work is good enough yet, so I REALLY want to dig deeper and go up a gear or two. I can feel that it is all there, just to need to realise it on my canvas.

I may be wrong, but I think that the best ideas pop effortlessly into your mind, when you are relaxed and open, and the best paintings seem to 'breath' themselves onto the canvas almost as though you had nothing to do with it.

Off for a walk now, then more pastel sketches when I get back.
