Rainy Day in Rio

Good afternoon friends!

I've been busy painting and entering exhibitions! I can't show you those paintings yet, but here's a little fun one I did, just for me.

Rainy Day in Rio

I hope you've been enjoying the Olympics  - and if like me - you haven't been watching - I hope you've been enjoying life!
 

Missy takes over !

No, its not a dominance thing with Missy, we don't subscribe to that theory. Instead today's blog post is all about having fun with our dog.
We believe that kindness and fun are the way to train dogs, so we can enjoy life together!
We bought darling Missy some new agility equipment for use in the garden .

Here she is, ready for the off

Going through the hoop

Trying out the weave poles and thoroughly enjoying it

and having a go at flyball. She has to put paws on the board to make it release the ball.

and once she had the ball, she had to do a " lap of honour"  :)

The joy in Missy's life spills over to ours. Its great to have such a fun companion. 

Do you Play?

Circumstances gave me a spare hour yesterday, so I decided to pick up the paints and play.
Very loose and fast and no time to be fussy.
That being said, I really am quite fond of this one :)

Only You

Is taking up your art and just playing with it something that you do?
Or does every thing related to your art have to be done in a serious manner?
I could have stayed serious and done a small part of a pre planned painting, but it was such fun throwing paint around with no attachment to the result.
Fun.. art should be fun, I think. What do you think?
