Hello friends

So here we are, I joined dA only one month ago when there wasn’t much going on and suddenly life is frantic.

Our local theatre starts our five week Boy from Oz run this Tuesday
As well I have started an intensive Vocational Teaching course that I’m trying to cram in between uni semesters.
One of those mid career change thingys!

I also received six designs commissions last week AND a job interview for a position teaching at TAFE. Phew!

But biggest of all is that my dad suddenly took very ill and I got him to hospital JUST in time.
He is making a good recovery but will come and live with me for a wee while to build up his strength.

So here I am with all good intentions to finish off some artworks and reply to everyone on dA
but don't have a whole heap of time.





While I’ve been away I became a finalist in the Ghost contest that I entered
and consequently have received heaps of dA love for my work Awakening Slumber.
Thank you all so much.



I have also entered artwork from my Faraway Tree Collection [link]
into the Fables and Children’s Books Contest [link]

The Enchanted Wood
Some of you may remember the series of novels by Enid Blyton.





There are so many fantastic Atlantis related artworks on dA that I decided to make a collection [link]
There is also a contest of new Atlantis work being held by vvirtual [link]

I really love Magdalena's moody gallery of work
