Hello Everyone

Scan 43One of Those Days, Gouache on A4 paper

Hello, welcome to my new blog. I have tried to run a blog on WordPress half a dozen times and each of them failed after a few weeks. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with WordPress. I hope this will be that final one.

The drawing above is one of my recent work about my life as a mother to a clingy baby. Some days he just would not settle unless I am carrying him. He is 18 months old now but I still believe he deserves all the attention he needs to be a confident little boy. Sometimes it is very hard to stay calm and patient when I feel totally lack of control over my life though.

This blog will be about my drawings, the bread I bake, inspirations I encounter, my process and struggle to start selling my work as an artist, and my life as a mother.

Hope you enjoy it!

    I totally feel the picture. I had five children like this. Each time one of my friends would visit me, I was always holding a child. (even holding one while vacuuming!) She asked if I ever put him down. It didn’t feel like it, but he’s completely normal now! And, such a respectful young man. It must’ve been all that time together:)

      I know they say things will get easier and one day they won’t even look back when they are ready to fly (as I read your latest post), but, FIVE CHILDREN! That sounds like the work of a superwoman! Your blog is beautiful and makes me emotional too. Can’t say I am not warned about the empty nest. Hope you are coping fine, lots of love xxx
