bubblegum Jungle

 

Living in a caravan, cycling an hour across the somerset levels to get to work, and being able to experiment with this wall, made for a good summer.. when it wasn't raining of course

 

fascinated by the positive/negative shapes that appeared.. and the effect of this bubblegum pink against the greens! this turquoise background really offset all my planned palette it was so exciting to see the effect of the blue on the various greens.

A kernel of truth?

 

NEWSFLASH! Whilst i was overseas the global paint brand VALSPAR have not only taken over all of my beloved Dulux colour palette,

( no more brooklyn nights 1, or marroccan sands 2 or blue diamond 5 or, bongo jazz 1) 

But they have used my Brighton Whalefest mural rather prominently on their B+Q home paint catalogue as part of a " colour outside the lines" Ad campaign. !

 

So now life surrounded most probably with " caribbean escape" and " a kernel of truth"  and plays on colour names without numbers.. begins.....

Melting pot. Maroccan wall

Fresh off the boat, or the train, or whatever type of journey it was that i went on for a week at Glastonbury festival that made me feel wonky until at least the 4th of July, I joyfully decorated a friends back yard.

We chose a Maroccan tile pattern to start, used Greek inspired colours, listened to Jamaican music, drank Mexican beer and then ordered Thai food to celebrate . Good old England!!!!

 

shangri-la signs

This years Worthy Farm input was in the shape of these glorious  greek-yoghurt inspired shiny signs for the heaven lounge in Shangri-la.  And now i take my annual vow to learn to sign-write the real way rather than treating words like graphic murals .

MY Own parrots

Those of you who know me won't be suprised that i've been in the gym everyday this week.. But this time its been in my painting shorts rather than my lycra.

MyOwnGym is a sweet little womens only gym in Byron Bay where i've been having a right laugh over the last few months, sweating out the stress of being homeless and jobless.

Never forgetting to be thankful that i get to exercise alongside some of my Glasto homies who NEVER would have worked out back in Blighty! Thats the power of Australia for ya!

  

Love a good before and after shot!

 

 

Blue maccaws in flight, in my fave colours ever.. and a power flow yoga class after. 

 

All organic everyday. SANTOS ORGANICS

Long awaited chalk board paint job in SANTOS organics cafe in the A+I estate Byron Bay.

I reckon i have seriously cheered up Josh here by painting his favourite heliconia flowers all around his workplace. 

Eachtime i'm drinking a smoothie or a juice or eating the life-changing protein pattie burger i feel like a chump for ever complaining about my life. Ever

 

 

Everything is good about this. 

All organic everyday baby!

Anyone for Tennis?

Totally off-scale jungle banana plant pattern for ByronBay Tennis club!! 

This 30m wall kept me well busy over Christmas and New year.Too busy mixing green paint and fighting off the ants to remember to eat chocolate and drink wine! which in my world is a RESULT!

painitng in circles

 Mixed feelings about my last projects in Tagazhout Marrocco for UK Holiday company Surf Maroc.
I feel very thankful for being able to holiday for weeks for free but there's a question here as to weather i managed to have a holiday around the ton of painting work i did. I love the Surf Maroc guys and what they do out there, working super hard to create the best holiday for hundreds of surfers and yoga enthusiasts each week. Dawn yoga facing the ocean WAS an absolute dream. The general smell and hassles of Tagazhout wasn't . so pros and cons all round.
