Still writing Part Fifteen of Gentle Rain. Bit of a challenge, but over 2,000 words of it written, so it is coming 😁 In the meantime, have a piece of art instead. This is titled ‘Moment’ and I kinda lke the strength in this woman. Nutty (Sometimes artist)

One of the biggest things I’m having to learn with my art is to trust myself. Yes, I have the skill and the knowledge. Yes, I can do this. It is surprising how hard that can be 😁 Nutty (Off the edge, but learning to fly)
The beginnings of a tree skeleton. Now I need to go do Christmas necessities ::sigh:: I could be creating, but no, I’m pandering to commercial necessity. Nutty (I’m not Scrooge, honest 😀)
followthepaintbrush: WIP Wednesday. Today I bring you this gorgeous paint by numbers kit. I live the different tones of pink – yes there are 15 different tone,counted them myself – that make up the illusion of feathers. Did I mention that I am in love with this one? Tagging the following. Let me know if you don’t want to be tagged and I’ll omit you from the list @mrseviltedi @scribbles97 @gentlebluelizard @madilayn @hanaxsongs @duchessnibenhu-ofpyromania @mitsue-n @lenle-g @lightning1999 @gumnut-logic @writerdarkflamespyre @greentigergirl-art This list is getting bigger! Sorry if I missed anyone out. Let me know if you want to be added too And this be my latest little painting that has been sitting ignored for, oh, since 12 May. I did finish my big galah painting since then, but writing has pretty much brought my painting to a screeching halt. That will change in January…which means I really need to start finishing some fic soon! When this is finished, it will be a New Holland Honeyeater, a common little bird in South Australia. Thanks for the tag @followthepaintbrush 😁 I’d like to tag @vegetacide @the-lady-razorsharp and @i-am-chidorixblossom Show us you work-in-progress (but only if you want to :D) Nutty (Queen of […]
It’s 1.20am and I want to write, but I have nothing left ::falls face first into keyboard:: Though I will admit to finally working out what is wrong with Virgil in that tired/collapsy fic I posted a couple of nights ago, so yay for plot development, what little plot there is in that fic 😀 if only I had the energy to write it 😀 So instead, have a Small Change Dragon 😀 I painted this little guy a few years back and it is kinda appropriate as I will be releasing two new little videos at work tomorrow where my partner in crime and I discuss good dragon books 😀 I should paint some more dragons. They are fascinating to explore 😀 Nutty(off to bed in a moment, unless I get distracted by Tumblr again…always a possibility)
There had been plans tonight to write, but I ran into a workmate at lunchtime today. A workmate who, amongst many things, co-ordinates a gallery. She had just seen my Galah painting on Facebook and suggested I hold an exhibition at the Gallery next year. So fabulous, yay, I’ve spent tonight putting together an exhibition proposal. But that means no writing. 🙁 Many, many thanks to the wonderful people who offered suggestions to my question regarding how to trap a brother. I have some specific requirements on how and why he is trapped so I will be working it out in my head further, but all those suggestions….oh, the fic that could be written ::cackles evilly:: Sorry, Virgil 😀 Instead of fic, have one of the works I’m sending in as an example of what kind of paintings I might create for the exhibition next year. The series is called Fantastical Worlds and every painting features a lone woman and at least one tree 😀 ‘There is always Spring in Autumn’, commissioned for a book cover, acrylic on board, 20x25cm. Best wishes,Nutty(who now has to paint between 10 and 20 paintings in the next year, yikes)
And I’m thinking since I’m new here, a little intro wouldn’t hurt. Hi, I’m Nutty 😀 Nutty the Slightly Unstable Dwarf, a name that has its origins in where I live…and Stargate fandom (long story). Incidentally, a gumnut is the woody fruit of eucalypt trees, a dominant tree in Australia – I am not a fan of chewing gum 😀 In RL, I’m a practising artist and designer. I paint in acrylics, I draw, I bead weave jewellery and I have a nice set of graphic design skills up my sleeve as well. In fandom…my original fandom is Star Trek: TOS, though I also love AOS. I have written in Star Trek: TOS, Stargate and Knight Rider fandoms mainly, and all of that was nearly ten years ago (before I had my two kids). Just recently I sat down for lunch one Saturday and landed in the first episode of Thunderbirds Are Go. In the last three weeks I’ve written around 27,000 words in this wonderful new fandom. This also means that I have yet to finish the painting on my easel which is due for an exhibition in a couple of weeks…such sweet distraction…augh. When I say I really […]
