carnival of flowers

yes thats right its that time of the year again ......................when a beautiful country town called 'toowomba celebrates carnival of flowers . This town is situated in Queensland in Australia in a region called the darling downs . Ok so yes i do paint flowers but till very recently while they sell all over they were a major hit in darwin for many years . Now it would seem a city famous for it gardens and flowers has taken a shine to my floral paintings. Whether they are on white back grounds or the black ones they are very emotive . Like all girls i love flowers who dose not , i love to receive them as well, again who dose not . except this one time ...................... a now ex boyfriend forgot my birthday completely and sent irises as a big I am so sorry babe . so rather than get mad i got even the only way an artist can . I painted the beautiful flowers and sold the painting a few days later . I then shopped till i dropped . ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the fun .  So as u can well understand why flowers can be very emotive . x

So tonite is the schools art show i am donating a large story bridge to the school and all proceeds will go to helping the special kids . They are very special indeed they have wonderful personaities and are very enthusiastic. I spent a few mondays helping out the budding young artists with some killer techniques that they have applied to there own works which will also be there for sale on the night. I found these wonderful children lots of fun to be around and i even played hookey with them ........................so good luck tonite kids xox
