“Start where you are.
Use what you have. Do what you can.”
Arthur Ashe
Sometimes we sail through life
like a ship on a calm sea, and at other times, everything seems to come at
once- a veritable maelstrom of appointments, deadlines, exams, exhibitions and meetings. I’ve been channelling my inner Wonder Woman recently,
and rather than allowing everything to overwhelm me, facing my challenges one
at a time.
I can do this!

| A plentiful supply of fresh flowers is a must for a complex painting such as this. Okay, perhaps I was a little too enthusiastic! |
Right at the top of my To-do list has been the laburnum. Not only did I have a deadline that was looming with ever increasing urgency, but the flowers were blooming and finishing before my eyes!

| Plant, vellum, I'm all set to go! |
