It's my 40th birthday today! Eeeek - I have no idea how that happened!

Earlier this year I gave myself the deadline of getting back into painting before this very day and am delighted that I have done just that. A scary toe-dipping has resulted in what I hope will become a bigger part of my life.

Am I still allowed to say I want to be a painter when I grow up ... or must I change that to 'I want to be a painter when I grow old?!

My next planned painting is going to be called 'The Birthday Shoes' - and will feature the shoes my big bruv bought (see above) for my birthday .... original name, eh?! Lovely Mini Magics - a low rise, easy walk version of the courtesan heels in 'Deck the Heels' and 'The Red Shoes'.

Hoping to crack into the painting over the festive period, ready for early January release - watch this space!

Thanks for your support this year!
