A new month and a new art project… I have to say painting everyday is so much easier than drawing everyday… perhaps because we aren’t trying to paint what we see… but we are trying to play around and learn some new watercolour tricks.

Just a little transition and learning curve over here as I come to grips with Feedly this week… and I realise how many of the posts I read, I read because I find them on twitter… Anyway, Feedly is working but where I used to skim my feeds for post of extreme interest I find myself having to wade through a sea of posts… not that I mind, gotta love reading blogs!!!

Meanwhile, here are this weeks lovely links…
