Blog

Well, my beautiful eldest daughter was married yesterday, what a great day! Now I need a holiday! http://facebook.com/oalexander3 
I will now have some time to get back to some serious blogging! Especially once I get rid of these acrylic nails! typing's a nightmare!
Thank you to Whopple for featuring me on their front page. whopple is a great website dedicated to promoting emerging artists. They have some very talented artists listed. Have a look at http://whopple.blogspot.com/2009/11/artist-interview-with-olivia-alexander_11.html

 I've heard alot about the benefits of painting using a 'theme'. Occasionally I will stick with a certain subject for a short while but I've never really done this for a consistent period. There always seems to be too many interesting things to paint!
I've often thought about doing a theme on Planets so here it goes. Hopefully, as I get into it I will be able to abstract them and experiment abit more.
Have a look at several other 'planetary theme' paintings on my website. 
What ideas do you have for an interesting and unusual theme? Love to hear from you.
Ciao for now.
