I have decided to take on my long awaited, much put off task of sorting my enormous sheet music collection…. I am missing the SCA though, it is a good place to express creativity etc. I am working on a new version of the St Monicas website…. I am pissed that it has been so long since it was updated, I surrendered the website early last year and nothing has been done on it since – dont whinge if you arent going to do it yourself!!
The details of the car accident and injuries that resulted in my back being buggered (that’s the technical term my chiro uses) and my having all this time to paint and write and write in this blog! Scroll Down for recent updates So what happened? 12:30ish 10/07/04 we were leaving a party and going through…
I love Art History and painting (obviously) and the course I am looking at is designed to allow exploration of art techniques and skills, as well as art history…. I am mildly worried about the long term implications of starting something like this, I still hope that I will be able to get better and get back to work. But I can still take it at my own pace so if I want to continue when I am back at work I can and at least it will be something for me to do during my convalescence…
I have been working on new techniques in my art. Previously my painting techniques involved high detail and tiny brushstrokes. Now I am looking to explore different subjects (rather than just portraits) and new techniques. I wish I knew what my next subject is, but I may continue with sex and the city for a while, exploring the concept more than the show.

Just plain Fun Originally uploaded by minxdragon. it would not be a sex and the city theme without shoes. I did these for a bit of fun and color.
Just plain Fun Originally uploaded by minxdragon. I am actually pleased with how the colors turned out in this (the photo doesn’t really show them) the technique again explores a rougher and more expressionist style. The light is pretty nice, and I got to enjoy my drink afterwards! Oils on Canvas
Legs Originally uploaded by minxdragon. As the theme of the night was Sex and the City I thought shoes in the city would be very appropriate. it was also a lot of fun to paint. Oils on Canvas
