Lessons from the Great Masters Day 1 24.6.15
A big thank you to Debi Riley, an inspirational artist and teacher in Perth Australia, who introduced us, through her wonderful blog a couple of weeks ago, to one of her treasured art books – Tate Watercolour Manual: Lessons from the Great Masters. I ordered it online and it arrived a day or two ago; what a treasure indeed. Today I started exploring it in the studio and am already excited by what I hope to learn.
Thank you Debi for the introduction but more importantly for the great inspiration you are to all of your students and for sharing with us, through your superb artistic creations your passion and love of art and for teaching. Visit Debi’s blog to learn more about her treasured books and explore her many lessons for aspiring artists.

After the success of the Mosaic Fans on Day 154 and Day 159 it seemed like a good idea to make one for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from Michelle: Roy G. Biv.

Burano Vignette 18.6.15
One of the great joys of blogging with WordPress is the pleasure discovering new blogs to be inspired by. Today was one of those days when I was introduced to Small Town Girl Midnight Trains. Her misty images of Burano for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Off-Season are simply magical and made me want to rush to the studio and try and capture those colorful houses and deserted walkways lining the canal on that misty morning. How successful I’ve been is another matter but it led to a happy hour or two this afternoon immersed in another world.
The blog is a jewel, with a wonderful heading text: travel inspiration for small budgets and big dreams. If the blog is new to you too drop by you won’t be disappointed, and don’t forget to read her Travel Manifesto in which she “wishes to inspire by being ordinary,” but in which in fact she inspires by being extraordinary.
