I love colour. I work with it every day, and choosing a favourite is like asking me to choose a favourite child. But equally, I'm drawn to the simplicity and calm of a simple black and white scheme. It's the perfect neutral backdrop to whatever colour takes your fancy, yet it can stand on its own. This place is one from the archives, but remains a firm favourite of mine.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6kOVNaaZWPsXQ9AzZc15IUmm-MpmFCgWo3ndaALtOMBD1qeGBp5Z98IxPhJYJY2WfOIOHG0NvMIbHM9s2juhCiIF6rtOyuLE_VthM-WUs69XcJy5lAYZrYpDsFrWy-VaLgLXDbl37jHPx/s1600/Shelter+Island+1a+Exterior.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6kOVNaaZWPsXQ9AzZc15IUmm-MpmFCgWo3ndaALtOMBD1qeGBp5Z98IxPhJYJY2WfOIOHG0NvMIbHM9s2juhCiIF6rtOyuLE_VthM-WUs69XcJy5lAYZrYpDsFrWy-VaLgLXDbl37jHPx/s640/Shelter+Island+1a+Exterior.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-small;"> Don't you love the gate in the hedge?

You mean it's been two weeks.......?

...since I posted last? Good grief. The best laid plans don't always come to fruition, do they? Time has slipped away from me yet again, but there's been a lot happening. Mum and Dad's bathroom is almost done - just the shower screen and plantation shutters to go. Once it's all ready I'll do a full post...promise! In the meantime, the lovely folks at <a href="http://homes.ninemsn.com.au/real-living" target="_blank">Real Living Magazine</a> were kind enough to feature my abstracts in their May issue, out now. You might recognise a few, but there are also a couple of new prints - take a look:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbxrbt-QqsZtSSZ94qerwu69aX56cAYZ_crmjjaK3h-z0QHhYAC1nKjkEB38gqbRCBs1rJ5GwztS6LHOq_qV8y7mfXM7ZcNYZDZog1O3EBnEXU_isVQMpy6JcpVsWzMB2Mh7QmkvsLdMMe/s1600/IMG_0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
