Winner of The Art Expo

I recently entered the Warracknabeal Art Expo competition, the theme being 'Country Life'. I entered two art pieces in and won 1st prize with the following mixed media artwork, titled 'Tyre Swing'. I've placed this artwork in my Blissful Pumpkin Art Store.

'Tyre Swing'

 

 I won 'People's Choice Award' for my 2nd entry titled 'Florascape', which is approximately
1m x 1.2m on stretched canvas. I am very happy to say that this art piece has since sold.
Many thanks =D.

Mixed Media Artwork of late & a LifeBook lesson.

Hello there. Yes I know I should be posting more often. I have good intentions but things always seem to come up. The last few weeks have seen illness fill our home, including a few nights overnight stay in hospital with my youngest. I'm happy to report that everyone is now well and life is back to normal. Hallelujah!

Here a some of my completed mixed media artworks of late. You may have seen them already on facebook, as I find it much easier to post on facebook than creating a blog post, however I plan to post more regularly here. My blog also needs a serious makeover so hopefully I'll get it done over the next month or so. Fingers crossed.

'Tulip Appreciation'

'Cafe Express'

'Life is Perrrrfect'

'Sunset Gal'

'She wished she could Fly'

'Alice & Friends'

'Sail Away'

The top three are still available here. The last artwork was created in a lesson by Tamara Laporte's Lifebook 2013 Course. You can still join in here. All lessons are downloadable so you can catch up at your own convenience. I highly recommend it.

School Holidays & Thinking of Prints

 School holidays have almost come to an end, which means when Monday comes all three children and my husband go back to school. My husband is the principal of the local Secondary school and my children go to the local primary school, so school holidays mean everyone is home. It means that we get to have family time each holidays without anyone missing out and I love that. In saying that..... Woo Hoo! Naaaaaaaaa, actually these holidays have been great. I am just looking forward to getting back to work (artwork that is, of course) =D.

 This first image is very special to me because it was created in conjunction with my 9 year old daughter, Louise. I had originally drawn half of the image up and was dissatisfied with it so I put it aside, not knowing if I would ever finish it off. Louise asked me if she could work on it. Once she had finished working on it and showed me, I immediately felt inspired to complete it. I told her due to her contribution that if I sold it that she could have the money. And guess what.......it sold. She is very happy indeed and I am one proud Mum.

'Coffee Gratitude' 

This image below came about from one of this years Lifebook classes by Tamara Laporte over at Willowing.ning. Thanks Tam. Tam's classes are always inspiring.

'Home is where Bunny is'

 Both originals have sold.

I'm planning on putting more art prints in my Etsy store, so if you have a favorite please let me know. I'd be grateful.

Hugs,

I've joined the Circus

I've been busy lately working on a few commissions as well as these mixed media art works. These two are sold but I'm thinking of putting prints of all my new paintings up for sale. What do you think?

'Circus Excitement' - Kylie Pepyat-Fowler

'Circus Time' - Kylie Pepyat-Fowler

I'm not sure where the circus idea came from. It sort of just appeared in the bottom one so I decided to carry this theme over to the top one.

The school holidays have begun here in Australia which means my husband and children are all home. I may not get in the studio much in the next two weeks but I feel some quality family time coming up.

I hope life is treating you kindly.

Hugs,
