A Portrait of Simon Balsom

a portrait of sb, 2010, oil on canvas, 50cm x 70cm

Well, the painting is done. I’m happy with it as my first oil painting in decades. I’m not going to bother too much about resemblance or even technique. I’m just going to tell myself what I tell everyone I ‘teach’: You will only get better with every painting you do. Oils. Wow. Me.

If you haven’t already and you’re a big cookie lover, please take time to visit @eves.cookie. We might tempt you with a cookie or two, because they’re far more sinful than apples... @_omgcake_, thank you for the photo!

Friday, February 2, 2018, 5:25 pm } I’m spending the weekend with my new friends Jamie @kuwaitmomsguide, Sabel and Safyre. Saf has been taking excellent care of me so far and made me this lovely necklace. I am so lucky!

Tuesday, December 12, 2017, 8:09 am } Have you missed me? A few months ago I fell and broke my neck. At first my prognosis looked good, but it’s gotten progressively worse. Thankfully my wonderful creator Laura @folkyflo has given Ghadah (who I’m upset with at the moment because it was her fault I fell) the proper elixir to get me better. My surgery is scheduled for this weekend. Wish us luck!
