Life as a fine-art blogger!

Who has time for clean up when you have a camera in one hand & remote in the other' 

and chocolate in the gob!

Iris & yep you guessed it Paris so romantic' we must hold on to our dream's

no matter what' we have to have a dream & follow your  passion and as Oprah used to say the rest will follow!

 Better image's can be accomplished every time with cake and coffee!

My number one fan' she never ever criticizes, so long as I pat her a hundred time a day ! 

My love of fine-art flower photography in natural light & as good old Frank Sinatra would say I did It ''my way''

Hope you like my work as much as I do ! 

                  Thank you so much for your visit.........

Lost coffee /champagne at Marina Mirage!

Very windy today on the Gold Coast & looks a like storm is on its way' 

Who's complaining' Gold Coast has the best weather in Australia' & with only 74 more sleeps till Christmas' are you thinking ''holidays''

 This is a wonderful place to visit' no I don't work for a travel agent or own one (I wish) or get payed to says this or take image's for a travel mag! 

(lol' not a bad idea) My little corner of the world has been my home for a very very long time so I think I qualify to recommend this beautiful place

And 

I know you will LoVe  it too......

We have a wide array of wonderful restaurants' children s them parks, shopping till you drop kind of days.

And lazy carefree sitting at the beautiful Marina Mirage sipping coffee & eating cake, while watching the world go by. The most gorgeous beach in the world (next blog)

 you will end up wanting to live here Just as we did many many years ago! 

So If you are like me & drawn to water this is It!!

 Main Beach a Gorgeous part of Gold Coast.

And I'm sure you will never want to leave......  

I hate litter bugs' I dropped my almost full cup of coffee in the river' hope no one heard my sister swear' ''honestly''  you would of thought it was her coffee, me swear (never) 

 So sorry little fish! 

so after my coffee disaster its only fitting I have a glass of champagne 

' well that's what the sign was telling me'' its not my fault ''really''.....

Thank you for your visit happy midweek everyone!

Artist ''Margaret Olley'' and Me?

Turns out that the late Margaret Olley and I have a lot in common we both had/have a LoVe of house hold clutter/treasures & objects d'art ! can you see the resemblance!  Bric-a-brac galore' in my case ready to be photographed  in Margaret s  hat factory ready to be painted.........

So see my grown children its not hoarding' its ART! as Margaret had paintbrushes & paint I have my camera, tripod,lenses and many many cluttered ''things'' that I love & that give me inspiration & happiness!

I know I even hang pictures on the wall that nobody can see ''but I can see it  when I put my coffee down on the little table and that reminds me I  don't have as many tables as darling Margaret had!

Call me Mrs Flower pot ok potty dotty more like it !

 I have collected junky treasure's for ever'  many times I bring in broken junk but 'we' fix it & Like my Chinese Empress who lost her head a bit of glue & all new again priceless! 

              Can you see my sons' sneaky fingers' honestly!

 So you see my husband' I have been telling you for ages you are married to a true artist ''no not a ''nutta' an Artist! so when I say I can not cook dinner to night because I am an artist or I say so' dear you have no clean washing because you are married to an artist, and when the house becomes so cluttered you can no longer find ME remember like Margaret we are both ''wonderful'' Artist! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Like Margaret' I have a great LoVe OF flowers' I cant get enough of them!

So thank you darling' Margaret' Olley  for giving me inspiration to Love what I do & enjoy my cluttered lounge/studio take thousands of more photos  & fill my home with flowers & LoVe  & to live till I am 88/100 & enjoy my life more than 'ever'............Pamela
