Art Flashback ....

I had been thinking of my artwork

recently , and how it has developed from

when i was a teenager . Art has always been with me,

i got my drawing from my dad . Seeing him draw ,

then keeping the piece of wooden board for myself ,

that he made , so i could use myself . I took art and design

as a subject at school , and got a grade A in my final exam .

However , i did not choose to pursue art as a career , i

chose the catering trade - as i loved cooking just a little

more . Which was one of my only regrets in life .

Having said that - things happen for a reason , other life

things take over , and it got pushed aside for my years .

Also realising now , that this blog may not have even

exisited ,and the people who i have met on here -

of which i am eternally grateful to , has made it a

pleasure to do ....

It could have turned out a cooking blog ! !

I have kept some of my artwork , from school - some

25 years ago now !!

So ... i thought i would show you a piece . My subject

was parts of the body - for my exam , done in pastels .

This has been in the attic for years , mounted in an

old frame , which was found in a garage . So my

dad and I varnished the wood .

It was a magazine cutting advertising leg hair remover ,

and because i found the feet difficult to do - i just made it

look like a piece of material was over her feet ! Or maybe ,

i couldn`t be bothered to do it - more likely !!

I tried to get the best picture , without taking it out ,

but there is reflection in parts ....

I am still quite surprised , that it is still in good condition ,

after so many years . And i may just have to get my

pastels out once again !
