This wonderful woman has been my inspiration for 2011. She arranges the paper swaps which have been the most art fun I've ever had. Look at her blog and feast your eyes!

prac exams (again)

Our Grade 12 Visual Arts and Design classes completed the first of three days of the National Senior Certificate prac exam today. It is always a relief when they are all present and get on with their work without too much panic. Their time-planning is so much better than during the trials prac exam and it is looking good.

VENETIAN LADY

I love painting people and I am fascinated by the human face. This is the first of what i hope to make many of, portraits inspired by Renaissance paintings of Venetian ladies.

Mixed media self-portrait



I loved creating this collage. My Grade 9 pupils made mixed-media self-portraits so i made one too.

My tests came back negative - thank the good Lord! I am so grateful and can now have a restful, creative holiday.

Here we go!!!

So, since i last posted a blog, I have been for my annual check up with my oncologist. We decided that a colonoscopy is the way to go.

The radiation treatment I received 6 years ago most likely caused damage to my colon, and the procedure will enable them to see what the problem is.

Then it is diet change or treatment of some kind. I am at home today for the prep. (Don't ask!) and going in for the procedure tomorrow morning.
