For the huge price I still walked away hungry (ha!) but it was worth it
for an experience to remember. It's also inspired a couple of art
ideas...</div>

I was right when I said that this week would be quiet with back-to-school! It's eerily quiet here, but it has given me the chance to catch up on <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/pages/custom-paintings" target="_blank">commissioned paintings</a>, replying to emails, and working on a couple more smaller paintings, as well as some original ACEO sized (2.5"x3.5") paintings which <a href="http://stores.ebay.com.au/Jazs-Art-Gallery/Original-Paintings-/_i.html?_fsub=1664231011&_sid=1011925601&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322" target="_blank">I'm popping up for auction on eBay starting at $1</a>.</div>

The first one up is <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-Fragile-Beauty-Canvas-Big-Eye-Art-Skull-Flower-Girl-Jaz-/282090106960?hash=item41ade17050" target="_blank">"Fragile Beauty"</a>. This is one of my favourites.<br />

<br />
The auction starts at $1 so everyone is in with a chance to bid. You can go to the auction <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-Fragile-Beauty-Canvas-Big-Eye-Art-Skull-Flower-Girl-Jaz-/282090106960?hash=item41ade17050">HERE.</a><br />
<br />
I'm currently working on a painting that was initially going to be a "sugar skull" style girl on a lime green background. Once I started painting her though, I stood back and all I could see was the artist <a href="http://www.wyanne.com/">Wyanne</a> - which is rather bizarre actually because I haven't watched her videos or read her blog in quite a while. She's great though - very inspirational! So now I can't shake that out of my head, and I've decided to make it a portrait of her. Hopefully when it's finished it will be good enough to gift to her!<br />

In between some of the bigger paintings I'm working on, I've been having fun painting some little ACEOs (collectable art trading cards).
Tonight I popped this one <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/272299554213" target="_blank">up on eBay starting at $1</a> (with free postage within Australia). It's called <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/272299554213" target="_blank">"Sparkle Seahorse"</a> and it's actually quite sparkly! The photo doesn't really do it justice.<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />

It's school holidays and we currently have one of my little cousins staying with us also, so much of the day is playing, setting up activities and making/cleaning up food and throwing in some painting where I can. I wouldn't have it any other way though. Next week is back-to-school and it will be eerily quiet!<br />

So needless to say, there's been a lot of paint splashing around the studio.<br />

Somehow I also managed to pick up a head cold, so I've been trying to
rest when I can, but thankfully I have had help from my family to juggle
work and the kids while not feeling 100%. As a "work at home" mum and
full-time artist I am so grateful for the support from my family,
friends and customers. I can't say thank you enough.<br />
<br />
I've listed a couple of available <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/original-paintings" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">original paintings</a> below that I've added this month, including the new "<a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/original-paintings/products/frida-and-the-dragonfruit-original-painting" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Frida and the Dragonfruit</a>", inspired by the beautiful Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo.<br />

day - it's only 4" x 4" - and would look interesting on a bookshelf or

One thing that really stood out (among many things!) was <span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">when she said:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 32px;"><i><span style="color: purple;">"People wait their whole lives for inspiration to show up. But inspiration is there waiting for you (to start doing the work)."</span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">This is how I feel about painting. I can
sit an look and think about a blank canvas all day long, and no matter
what I have planned for it, once I begin to paint - it has a mind of
it's own.<br />
<br />
<img align="none" height="300" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/5e8894cc95a4bdbc71a52913f/images/66226a6b-34a2-46d9-a4ef-8d1265af4d45.jpg" style="border: 0px none; height: 300px; margin: 0px; outline: medium none; text-decoration: none; width: 300px;" width="300" /><br />
<br />
For instance - I recently started out painting a "Day of the Dead"
themed mermaid. I had it sketched out, planned out and started painting
it on to the canvas. However...as it evolved, I realised what I was
actually painting was "Snow White"...and along came the seven dwarfs
with her. Except they weren't dwarfs at all - they were fish. Which
eventually turned out to be <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-Snow-White-and-Seven-Fish-Mermaid-Girl-Canvas-Art-Jaz-/272146822447?hash=item3f5d36f52f" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">"Snow White and the Seven Fish" (and the original painting is now up for auction, starting at $1 here!)</a></span></span></span><br />

There is a sense of mystery when it comes to inspiration and creativity -
you just have to follow that little niggling of curiosity and see where
you end up! If you're excited about living creatively - I highly
recommend Elizabeth Gilbert's book <a href="http://www.booktopia.com.au/big-magic-elizabeth-gilbert/prod9781408866740.html" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">"Big Magic"</a> (and no, this isn't a sponsored post, I truly loved it.)<a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0890/4254/files/March.pdf?16722722707660767311&mc_cid=8b458adadc&mc_eid=f1561fd54a" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"></a><br />
<br />
With Easter coming up - I've put <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/search?q=easter" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">five of my bunny themed prints</a> up for sale for a limited time only they are just $9.99 (normally $14.99)!<br />
<br />

<br />
For the collectors, I have a bunch of <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/original-paintings" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">original paintings available here.</a> Be quick! There is only one <i>original</i> painting of each, so once they're sold, they're gone.<br />

That is all from me for now. x<br />

I had fun adding in lots of little details to this one. Little flowers, dots, mushrooms, butterflies...and of course "Absolem" - the blue, hookah smoking, caterpillar with a human like face!<br />
<br />
Now that that is finished, I'm working on a couple of <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/pages/custom-paintings" target="_blank">commissioned paintings</a> with Christmas deadlines. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have come down with some sort of head cold - which is making it hard to work for any period of time. I constantly feel like I need to lie down. I'm trying to listen to my body most of the time and rest up where I can, but for the work part - tea and panadol are getting me through. Also - my family have helped me out a lot which I am so so grateful for! </div>

Axolotls are magical creatures. You might have heard of them as "Mexican Walking Fish". They are basically salamanders in their larval form. A tadpole turns in to a frog, but an axolotl hasn't quite turned into a salamander. They can breathe in and out of water. About 10 years ago, I had an axolotl named "Axle" as a pet. He was a black axolotl like this guy:<br />

But what happened at Boggo Road Gaol you ask? Unfortunately, my Saturday night at Boggo Road Goal was cut short, so there's not much to tell. It certainly is somewhere I'd like to go back and tour through though. It's so eerie and interesting! A ghost tour there would be fun.<br />

Yep! Tomorrow night 7th of November '15 - I'm being involved in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/952739924773316/" target="_blank">an art show</a> at the historic Boggo Road Gaol in Brisbane. I will literally have a jail cell in Cell Block D set up as my art gallery for the night. </div>

This just isn't any jail. This place is a 100+ year old maximum security prison, and known as one of the most haunted places in Brisbane.</div>

We'd never been before, and it was great for all of us to experience it for the first time together. We saw crocs, eagles, exotic parrots, koalas, wombats, tasmanian devils, giraffes, rhinos, bearcats (I didn't even know there was such an animal?), iguanas, kangaroos...it was an awesome day out. </div>

My <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books/products/colour-me-in-colouring-book-for-adults-or-kids" target="_blank">colouring books</a> have been selling well - most of my orders this week have been book orders, with the occasional <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/art-prints" target="_blank">art print</a> order thrown in as well. I even managed to give one of the pages a go myself while we watched a movie one night. I rarely sit and watch a movie without doing something at the same time (usually painting or sketching) - and I found colouring in really relaxing! I can see why this craze is taking off...</div>

These were embellished with pearls and rhinestones and I love the way the wings turned out! Magical!<cite> </cite><cite class="_Rm">°☆。</cite> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These paintings sold very quickly, but if you would like something similar, just email me at artbyjaz@yahoo.com.au and I would be happy to create something for you. This size as a commissioned painting would be around $65. I can create them in any size, hair colour, eye colour etc...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Ok, I'm off to see if I can fit some painting in while Mr 2 is sleeping and before I pick Miss 7 up from school! </div>

Hey Enchanted Ones!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheTCvsFGXqAE8_K3ysCAsbbEn3tvHSMRKvBIf5_UK8w8zOk243f_2yNutvFdd4xNn3588NloYr58TvceCAi-SQaLbMJEbDCploRvsggobnaT_0dBWvMVr40BE-m5ArCo1t_bJHYevnqROq/s400/It%2527s+Here+Graphic.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The launch of my <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books" target="_blank">colouring book</a> has been crazy town. Crazy <i>busy</i> town! Crazy <i>fun</i> town!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hand drew 24 designs - mermaids, fairies, witches and lollies - and created a colouring book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's called <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books" target="_blank">"Colour Me In"</a> and it's available in <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books/products/colour-me-in-colouring-book-for-adults-or-kids" target="_blank">print (delivered to your door)</a> or <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books/products/colour-me-in-ebook-a-printable-colouring-book-for-adults-or-kids" target="_blank">eBook form</a> (which you print out yourself, and can start colouring right away).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/books" target="_blank"><img alt=""Colour Me In" eBook - a PRINTABLE Colouring Book for Adults or Kids!" src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0890/4254/products/25_designs_website_image_ae8bd170-87af-4683-9d7e-bc69b7a0b31a_1024x1024.jpg?v=1442882638" height="512" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The designs are quite intricate, so they are great for adults or kids.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm currently waiting on some more stock. My initial print run has completely sold out and I'm looking to get my next lot in the next couple of days. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime, all of my mailing list have been sent a FREE colouring page from the book. If you want to get your hands on one, simply enter your name and email here:</div>

Lots of fun arty things this week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday we took the kids to see <a href="http://www.qm.qld.gov.au/Events+and+Exhibitions/Exhibitions/2015/03/Dinosaur+Discovery#.VbA3DfluhHY" target="_blank">"Dinosaur Discovery" at the QLD Museum</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="http://www.brisbanekids.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Dinosaur-Discovery-22.jpg" src="http://www.brisbanekids.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Dinosaur-Discovery-22.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The robotic dinosaurs are pretty life-like and the kids were SO scared at first, but they ended up loving it. They keep asking when can we go back! It was probably a little overpriced for the 20 mins it takes to walk though - but I think it was worth it over all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the nature exhibits too - so many beautiful colours and pattern inspirations for paintings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I found this incredible make up look on Instagram that was inspired by my <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/gothic/products/my-skellyfish-friends-art-print" target="_blank">"Skellyfish Friends" </a>painting! It's by the talented Maria from <a href="https://instagram.com/olddollsstillplay/" target="_blank">OldDollsStillPlay</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" src="https://scontent-hkg3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11745408_1021657757853389_6432272612665169591_n.jpg?oh=d9c76ddbafd5df61f0f0bec100cb59cb&oe=56545C2F" style="height: 536px; width: 535px;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also this week my <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/canvas-prints" target="_blank">CANVAS prints</a> have arrived! At the moment I've just started out with <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/canvas-prints" target="_blank">5 of my best-sellers</a> to see what people think. I've had SO many requests for canvas prints. I guess it's because they don't need to be framed and they can be hung straight on the wall. They are the closest thing to the original painting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/canvas-prints" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.artbyjaz.com/collections/canvas-prints" class="fbPhotoImage img" height="400" id="fbPhotoImage" src="https://scontent-hkg3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11011901_1020812511271247_3564810574956533018_n.png?oh=4f28916aa1b1d0969cf98811721e3ae8&oe=560EE8EB" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also taking pre-orders for any other of my prints that you might like on canvas. Just email me and let me know which one you are after at artbyjaz@yahoo.com.au</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning I popped my <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-034-Little-Peach-Mermaid-034-Canvas-Girl-Cute-Purple-Room-Art-Jaz-/281756242586?" target="_blank">"Little Peach Mermaid"</a> original painting up for auction starting at $1!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also reached over 2000 fans on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ArtByJaz" target="_blank">facebook</a>! Woo hoo!!!<br />
<br />
Today I have Mr 2 at home with me, so I shall attempt to get some art work done, but we'll see how that goes! Tonight Miss 6 and I are going to see a play at her school called "Fairytale Extravaganza!" - should be good!! </div>

<br />
I've had donuts on the brain lately. I'm seeing them everywhere. I'm pretty sure they're 2015's answer to the gourmet cupcake.<br />
<br />
So it would seem that the only reasonable thing to do would be to create a Donut Princess. I mean, there is a Donut King after all? Maybe she should be called the Donut Queen? No...I think this one is a Princess.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="fbPhotoImage img" height="640" id="fbPhotoImage" src="https://scontent-hkg3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/p843x403/11231744_1008888142463684_4817865280081241492_n.jpg?oh=e5d7cd472bc7490e72e1266cf97f9476&oe=5620C133" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I started by just roughly painting in a bust of a half pink/half blue haired girl, with several donuts falling around her. I wanted her to have a crown, and a donut tiara seemed to fit just right.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Then I did what every great artist would do, and tracked down some still life reference materials to work from. Thanks Krispy Kreme.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11694827_1009813199037845_6512328554525643244_n.jpg?oh=5d3c5ae060d1e0addda3135d67e3b8ab&oe=56135A5F&__gda__=1448890745_101bc831cb87dde6472eb4549575189b" style="height: 536px; width: 536px;" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I continued to build up some of the layers of colour on the donuts, and start to work out what each one will look like. Sprinkles, icing, coconut, chocolate flakes...so many possibilies!</div>
<img alt="" class="fbPhotoImage img" height="640" id="fbPhotoImage" src="https://scontent-hkg3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/p843x403/1512863_1012656088753556_2789018003805316940_n.jpg?oh=ba8693704c94b3de8621cd3597d3bac8&oe=565CB0B1" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<br />
...and that's where she's at at the moment. I've got a few other projects on the go, and some <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/pages/custom-paintings" target="_blank">commissioned paintings</a> to finish up this week. So "Donut Princess" will have to wait a while...<br />
<br />
In the meantime I would love to hear from you if you have any ideas for a painting! And if you're not on my email list, jump on there and every now and then I will send you special messages. :)<br />

This painting really just came from the heart. I had no idea where it was going to go when I started it. I had no idea that she was even going to be a mermaid. Just slowly, bit by bit, day by day, I worked on it at any spare moment. Slowly a mermaid emerged and I spent hours painting whimsical details around her. I found it to be quite meditative actually! Tiny dots, swirls, starfish, lilypads and shells...</div>

It's actually been nice to work with ink and paper rather than the usual paint and canvas. Black and white as opposed to lots of colour. Mixing it up.</div>

The house is finally starting to look a little more organized. There are still boxes everywhere, and we're currently working with a make-shift kitchen (and studio) but it's starting to feel a little bit more like home. </div>

I'm arranging my studio slowly, and in line with the New Moon on Tuesday, I put my <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-Moon-Phase-Angel-Canvas-Big-Eye-Art-Girl-Room-Purple-Fairy-/281666601156?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4194a340c4" target="_blank">original "Moon Phase Angel" painting</a> up for auction, starting at $1!

The weather is finally cooling down today. It's been the longest Summer here in Brisbane, Australia. I thought it was never going to end. It's nearing the end of April and we're still wearing t-shirts and shorts. I love the heat, but we're definitely ready for a cool change. :)</div>

<br />
A few months ago, we bought a house! It's in the perfect location for us, but it does need some work. Luckily, we were staying at my parents place in between houses, so we had time to paint it before we moved in. For the lounge, I wanted a dark grey colour, with thick white molded trims. And after carefully considering literally more than 50 shades of grey, I chose "Afternoon Storm" by <a href="http://www.britishpaints.com.au/Colours/Colour-Wall/ColourWall#" target="_blank">British Paints</a>, paired with Antique White U.S.A. by <a href="http://www.dulux.com.au/colour/colour-gallery" target="_blank">Dulux</a> for the rest of the house.<br />

If you look closely you will see the molding along the bottom is thicker than before. I found <a href="http://www.theidearoom.net/2012/05/how-to-diy-taller-baseboards-with-existing.html" target="_blank">this awesome trick</a> to make your baseboards bigger by simply leaving the existing ones there, and leaving about an inch of wall space before adding another trim of your choice.<br />

<br />
Once it was on there, we painted the entire thing in glossy Antique White U.S.A. and we had the thick molding I was lusting after! Hooray!<br />
<br />
We finally were able to move in on the weekend, so I'm currently surrounded by boxes and thank goodness my wonderful Husband has finally got the internet up and running on my computer. (Hallelujah!!) Between Easter and moving, there may be a slight delay in art orders, but I'm trying my best to keep them as up to date as possible. :) There's still FREE Worldwide shipping on all <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/originalpaintings" target="_blank">Original Paintings</a> and <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/artprints" target="_blank">Art Prints</a> at <a href="http://artbyjaz.com/">ArtByJaz.com</a>, so there's been plenty of orders to fill today. My studio is all over the place, but I'm having fun sorting through things and beginning to set up the studio of my dreams here in our new place. All in good time.<br />
<br />
I also have a really crappy kitchen that is going to be ripped out in the next few weeks, and a new one is being put in - but more on that one later! Time to get back to work.<br />

Today has been the typical work-at-home-Mum (WAHM) duties...school pick ups, cooking, and in between working at my desk, making and packaging <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/art-prints/" target="_blank">art prints</a>, taking them to the post office etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that that's out of the way I've had time to scan in and list a new mini painting. This one is called <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-034-Little-Pineapple-Princess-034-Canvas-Big-Eye-Fairy-Art-Girl-Room-/271809854435?" target="_blank">"Little Pineapple Princess"</a>:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The other little painting I have up for auction at the moment is <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-Purple-Vampire-Fairy-Canvas-Big-Eye-Gothic-Art-Girl-Room-Jaz-/271802100041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3f48aae949" target="_blank">"Purple Vampire Fairy"</a>.

<br />
Our weekend was mostly filled up with catching up with friends and family. The weather is still HOT here in Brisbane Australia, so I would've been happy to sit at home in the air con all day, but I'm glad we got out and about. :) We went to <a href="http://www.mustdobrisbane.com/kids-outdoors-aquativity/wynnum-water-park-wynnum" target="_blank">Wynnum</a> yesterday for lunch and the kids loved playing on the whale park.<br />
<br />
<br />
On Saturday morning I finished and listed a new original painting <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-PAINTING-Blessed-Mermaid-Canvas-Big-Eye-Fantasy-Art-Girl-Room-Jaz-/271797483312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3f48647730" target="_blank">"Blessed Mermaid"</a> up for auction in my eBay store, starting at $1.<br />

<br />
<br />
It looks like the week ahead will be filled with lots of painting with a couple of <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/custom-paintings/" target="_blank">commission requests</a> coming in this weekend. It's fun to do <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/custom-paintings/" target="_blank">custom paintings</a> now and then. When I'm painting I can have a million ideas running through my head, and I never really know where the piece is going to end up. Sometimes I can start painting a mermaid and it turns into a fairy. But with a custom piece, I am working with someone else to bring their ideas and dreams into being. It's really a team effort! <br />
<br />
Even if you don't want to commission a painting for yourself, I would love to hear any ideas you might have for paintings. Feel free to message me anytime on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/JazHiggins" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ArtByJaz" target="_blank">my Facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
Here's to a great week!<br />

<br />
Right now while Baby A is having a nap I'm busy getting some art print orders ready. (Remember - everything has FREE worldwide shipping at <a href="http://artbyjaz.com/">ArtByJaz.com</a> at the moment, including <a href="http://www.artbyjaz.com/original-paintings/" target="_blank">original paintings</a>). Although I don't mind packing orders, I really would rather be painting.<br />
<br />
At the moment I'm working on a "Little Red Riding Hood" themed piece. I've only just started by blocking some colour into the background and working out where I want things in the painting.<br />

They have a really nice meaning also. They are born in muddy water, yet they bloom to be so pure looking and beautiful<strong> - </strong>giving them a sense of hope and rebirth.</div>
