Another busy and very loooong 4 day weekend. We had the extra days here in Melbourne for the ‘Melbourne Cup’ – the race that stops a nation which was held on Tuesday.
The rest of the four day weekend consisted of 2 basketball games for Miss Aimee, a sleep over for teenagers, a birthday bash and a family picnic at Maroondah Dam, Healesville.
I did manage to get some painting done too. I’m madly finishing my ‘Art For Sale’ collection which I will be popping on my website in a few days. This weekends inspiration was strawberries. Are they not just the epitome of summer fruits? I love the way they look, smell and taste – so sweet.
Here’s a few of my strawberry inspired works of art.
All my art will be available in my Shabby Art Boutique webstore later in the week. Also later this week I will be having a giveaway for my blog anniversary and 100th post so make sure you pop back to enter.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
