{things i'm diggin'}

The Point
  • nearly selling out at my exhibition. There's only 2 paintings left - Reef and I Listen To Birds. If you can't make it to the show but you're interested in purchasing one of the remaining pieces feel free to get in touch.
  • getting the test prints of my work done this week. I'm gobsmacked by the quality. I can't wait to get my online shop open (hopefully next week!).
  • dining at Wabi Sabi last night.
  • taking lots of time out this week to rest, relax, be. I've realised recently how challenging I find it to stop but I'm learning how necessary it is to sustain myself, and I'm totally committed to the idea of taking great care of myself.
  • counting the sleeps till we have a week away in Port Douglas. It was on my wish list for this year and thanks to a little bit of magic we've made it happen.
  • feeling balance return after a topsy-turvy month.
  • playing around with some new paintings.
  • seeing my Exquisite Palette piece in the window at St Luke this morning. Seriously, a piece of my art in a shop window! The exhibition looks amazing. It's worth a trip to Smith St if you're in the hood.
  • entertaining the notion that perhaps struggle is not an essential part of my life.
  • plans for a Korean dinner with Ms L this evening.
  • the arrival of the weekend.
How about it peeps? What are you diggin'?

  1. I'm diggin':
    - having dinner already cooked for me
    - a new feature article waiting for me to punch out on the keyboard
    - the sun that shone like mad here in Byron today
    - my 13-yr-old folding up washing (true!)
    - coming over here and seeing/reading all of the wonderful leaps and bounds you are making in art and life.

    p.s Do you have a new camera? Or maybe it's just a new outlook... but your photos are extra strong lately Cathy.

    Have a great weekend and Korean sounds yum.
