Hi everyone,</div>
<div>
I am just reviving this blog.. please comment so that I know who is still following.</div>
<div>
I am shocked to see how long it has been since posting anything here. I guess Facebook has kind of taken my time away from blogging however I really miss making my weekly posts. Just looking back and looking at what I've achieved and now thinking that I need to look forward and let everyone know what I've been up to lately.</div>
<div>
I have ventured into the world of teaching over the past two years after much conjoling from my friends to share my skills .</div>
<div>
What began with a handful of mature aged students has exploded to 5 classes with upwards of 50 students a week. A total surprise to me being a self taught artist and not thinking that i had much to teach. Well as it turns out I have lots of knowledge collected from a lifetime of painting and honing my skills and I must say it is such a joy to pass some of these on to those who enjoy the classes.</div>
<div>
on top of that I have teamed up with a travel organiser to take local bus trip painting tours to local vineyards. As one thing always leads to another we have organised a painting in Italy trip next year .</div>
<div>
Please see flyer for information .</div>
<div>
Ciao for now</div>
<div>

HELLO EVERYONE !<br />
O mygosh I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted to my blog ..I didn't even know if I still had an account until I found my password and ..yep it still works !<br />
Well I have a bit of catching up to do to say the least .<br />
So much has happened in the past year . I have had several exhibitions with two on the go now ,<br />
LA DOLCE VITA is an ongoing exhibition of inspirations of Italy at the CENTRO CBD restaurant .<br />
I am once again exhibiting at my favourite cafe the MINNAMURRA CAFE with my exhibition WATER'S EDGE ..both are worth a look .<br />
I have also joined an art trail here on the south coast and you can read all about it at www.kiamaartstrail.com . We have our studios open on the first weekend of each month and I would love to welcome you to my studio if you are in my area .<br />
Facebook seems to take most of my time these days but I will endeavour to post at least a couple of times a month or more if possible<br />

Life has been extremely busy with lots of painting under way in my studio . I am so blessed to be able to paint several styles and mediums . One day I am painting lovely children's art for kids rooms like this painting above ' Wink, Sleepy and Bright Eyes' in acrylic and the next painting a commissioned artwork in oil like the lovely one recently finished of a neighbour's house ..never a dull moment but I am totally loving my life as an artist .. Tomorrow I will be selling paintings at the new Coastal Crafts Handmade Market at Centenary Hall Albion Park ..Look forward to seeing you there if you are in the area </div>Kathy Karashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13542801698514460781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641665818112819133.post-54094131275322141802012-04-26T20:15:00.001+10:002012-04-26T20:15:43.069+10:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

It was lovely to spend a few days away with my painting group The Plein Air Girls ..The weather was perfect , the company splendid ...the food and wine to die for ! In spite of this we had a very productive time and I managed to get 2-3 plein air paintings done each day ...not masterpieces ..but just had good fun trying to capture the scenery before it changed . What a great little group we have become ! It is such a pleasure to spend time with these ladies several times a year . Look out for a featured article about us in (maybe) the next Australian Artist Magazine .<br />
There is nothing like a painting trip with the 'Girls' to get me all enthused and inspired to paint so I was straight into this painting above on my return ..I am very pleased with the outcome of " Rockpool ' painted from a photo of my sweet little grandaughter playing at the beach a couple of months ago . </div>Kathy Karashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13542801698514460781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641665818112819133.post-28002356912896047202012-03-07T11:57:00.001+11:002012-03-08T22:32:41.339+11:00ROSIE POSY<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz99eQBZjx4Je-tNL9wuJ0_Xr0GJcuGOAEh49mB8JtvbJ66QLH8QCa6GzYJyzJKfcg3YcENrBHZZZOpDeb7CMUeIMIYRCaz8OxgHjot9var4zOMHnpvKV_XSmsoQcbbw6c1XW4jdKHLQA/s1600/rosey+posie+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz99eQBZjx4Je-tNL9wuJ0_Xr0GJcuGOAEh49mB8JtvbJ66QLH8QCa6GzYJyzJKfcg3YcENrBHZZZOpDeb7CMUeIMIYRCaz8OxgHjot9var4zOMHnpvKV_XSmsoQcbbw6c1XW4jdKHLQA/s320/rosey+posie+001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Well I have had a lovely holiday mainly just staying home in our new house this year . We had a great family Christmas, a quiet New Year's eve spent having drinks with the neighbours but best of all we welcomed our new baby grandson into the world . It was so nice to take the month off just to enjoy family and friends , recharge the batteries and think about projects for the year ahead ..<br />
Also it is good to take a break because now my painting hand is itching to get those thoughts and ideas into action in the studio ..There are several exhibitions that I am working towards ... Over the break I managed to get some great photos of my granddaughter Ruby Rose now 19 months old playing at the beach that will make a great subject for paintings . I have just completed an interesting dog portrait that is a commissioned piece .<br />
I am pleased to report that my small paintings have been selling well at The Kiama Gallery. I am excited to be involved with this lovely little gallery .<br />
