Self-portrait.

I wasn't going to post this but then I noticed that my hilariously long fingers are positioned in such a way that it looks like I only have three on each hand. Suddenly I liked the shot a whole lot more.

I also love how the wall acts as a reflector. See how the backs of both hands are lit?

My subscription has ran out and for the first time in years I'm meeting the unsubscribed DA. It is terrifying!

In other news, I've started worked two and a half days a week at a plastic surgery. I am really loving it. The surgeon specialises in re-constructive breast surgery after cancer and the patients and staff are lovely.

Still working on my novel.

This is a great shot. I honestly cant even describe how it makes me feel, but it indeed does make me feel.

Perfect.

And congrats on the day job - it must be most full-filling.

Thank you! It is a two and a half day a week job and then I look after my grandmother for one day a week so I still have a lot of days to make art. :D

I am very lucky. It takes me four hours on the train up and back so I work on my novel, get there, cook scones,clean the house, walk and bath the dog, do any gardening she needs done, do a bit of shopping for her, cook dinner then catch the train home. It makes her incredibly happy. And I do agree: the balance is making all the difference.

And...

"I also love how the wall acts as a reflector. See how the backs of both hands are lit?" You missed the light on your hip, shoulder, face and eye. Not to mention the crinkly slip, or your wonderful expression. It's a great shot darl.

Get on that damn train and give Nana a hug for me. If I can think of summat that I know how to make that will keep for a while, I'll note you so you can give it to her later.

What?? Your Nana was more spec. than mine? No way!! I'll see you special Nana food and raise you some... umm... jeez, what's better than Nana food?????? .... um.. diamonds....

No, I didn't miss the other bits of light but it was just easier to draw people's attention to the hands to explain the light.

I'm in SA this work working with a group of teenagers (I've been commissioned to make a piece for the opening of a high school's new theatre) but I'll be back down there next week.
