I have been blogging for a while, just some times I get a little slack. Thats because I am doing it for myself, to be inspired from other artist and it helps me conjure up some thing in my head, then lay it down on paper, canvas or may be in a journal. I never copy, all my arts comes from me, my creativity and my heart. It such a buzz for me to see something I am painting and watch it come to life. Today I am going to promote me for a change. Some times I dont have the confidence in my art. I will leave it up to you as all people have their own likes and dislike. I had forgotton how much I did when I was a child it had vanished from me while I was busy with family. It wasnt untill I started an art course in a community centre that I realised how much I missed my art. You dont think you are any good till you try. It was some time after the centre that I decided to studied a Diploma of Visual arts at Swinburne, and havent stopped. Before that I studied Photography B&W plus dark room
