My friend Jo has been truly valiant and enthusiastic about this enterprise...heaven only knows how I will manage when she goes back tonight to Sassafras.
I am now on my own.
After a lifetime in the theatre and teaching in a Conservatorium I have moved into the visual arts. I might say that I always wanted to paint and draw as a youngster but my talents and consequently my earning capacity lay elsewhere.
For many years (about 35) I was a ceramicist and it became lonely out in the pottery studio and really arduous so I moved in to more gentle pursuits of painting and textiles.
It is evident however even with my clay, how much I adore colour.
As this is my first "dip in the water" I will keep it brief and end with todays morning picture collaboration with Jo of "Mystory" fame.

I'm guessing that being a pensioner is like being retired - whatever it is it looks like you'll be making some really interesting art!
You are going to be fine Janette...I love your first post (and i can see that you adore colour - I'm a bit partial to it myself).
I can tell we are going to be in for a visual treat on your blog.
