I'm loving Golden!

If you haven't yet tried the Golden Fluid Acrylic Colours - you're going to love them! I sell them at my studio and they will soon be available online through my http://www.shinyhappyart.com/ site (being constructed as we speak!). They're QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY. Nic Hohn is also loving using them in her collages and journalling.

Check them out at http://www.goldenpaints.com/ - but here's some info to whet your appetite!

Fluid Colors

Fluid paints contain near the same pigment strength as Golden Heavy Body colors in a pourable, low viscosity formula.

I love these fluids. A little bit goes a long way. Intro pack of colours available from the studio.

Fluid Iridescent / Fluid Interference

Familiar for their radiance, GOLDEN Iridescent Colors produce a luster by themselves, with other colors, or mixed with mediums. GOLDEN Interference Colors offer a unique "flip" when viewed from different perspectives.

I'm really loving the golds available in this range. And they're in little bottles with a small spout and a flip lid so they don't dry up or spill easily and I DON'T DROP THE LID WHEN I OPEN THEM (I really hate that!).

New art bags on website

These are some of the new bags I've just uploaded to my website shop - there are more to come, but it's a good start! I'm just loving my new black vinyl shoulder straps. Very professional looking! And each large bag sewn from now will have a triple pocket inside, two sensible sized ones and another for a pen. Now I have to update the front page and everything will be on track again.

Have you red bubbled yet?

I've just put some of my paintings up on www.redbubble.com.au so they're available as cards and some can be prints also. I need to get some better photos taken so they can be reproduced at the larger sizes, but it's a start. Please check it out! As soon as I got 2 images up I started getting comments and then lo and behold I was featured on the homepage. So please go and have a look and let me know what you think!

The Reason

This little lady is why I haven't got new art to show here. But I am working on some dancer paintings for a wine label project, and will photograph some new bags in the next few days. Please stay tuned.

Getting back on track

Well, the baby's just lovely, the guests are thinning out and we're getting back on track.
Watch this space for more artwork very soon!
