Iam just home from spain, having had a lovely lazy two weeks and am now slowly but surely getting on with the paintings for the upcoming show in Edinburgh, though with christmas very nearly here i am feeling a little distracted and my mind is wandering to more festive thoughts! ...however things are coming along nicely, i am currently working on the third of four paintings for the exhibition. This one is a semi nude portrait of a good friend, Daisy.

On another note i am also looking for more experience working within art therapy organisations, and have been in contact with a few groups however to no avail, if anybody has any suggestions and or contacts? i would greatly appreciate it as i am hoping to apply for a masters at Queen Margarets in Edinburgh and although i do have the qualifications needed as far as my degree goes i do feel i would like some more hands on experience with different organisations/ workshops.
