Just had the most beautiful day! I finished painting the mural on the Kwikfit shutter and then we had a little celebration!
All of the animals on here were winners of our competition to raise money for @macmillancancer and the owners came along to see it finished.
We raised £1420 and made 5 animals famous along the way..
L- R
Bella the moggy cat
Frankie the whippet
Barney the chocolate labrador
Iggy Pup the long haired daschund
Pebbles the akita (R.I.P)
One of the winners was miraculously already famous and his name is @barnixcx . Entered by his amazing dog walker Maria, I was so happy to see him win - please give him a high five if you ever swing by the garage! Thankyou so much to his lovely owners @mackie_bella & @greg_james
For popping down to see the finished painting!
Thankyou so much to Dawn and the gang from @thehutbytheheath for your sponsorship with the paint, and to all the people who entered the competition..also to the gang at Kwikfit for looking after me while I was painting and buying me coffee!

Sri Yantra Structure
9 Triangles: 4 Shiva (upward) and 5 Shakti (downward) triangles.

I made it with spraypaints, acrylics, airbrush and inks, and a lot of masking tape!
Anyone want one? Hit me up! 💓💜💓

I was really moved by the story of Punch the Monkey this week, it really hit home for me- these days we are being told that art is an "extra", a "hobby" - even that artists will be replaced by A.I.
This year I've decided to choose my art over and over again, regardless of who likes it or how much worse it looks compared to this person or that person, or even that robot who made it in 2 seconds for no money.
Just like Punch hanging onto his manky old teddy, I'm hanging onto my art, coz it matters, for no other reason than it makes me feel free and it reminds me that I am alive, I am human and I am flawed. It's my happy place!
Happy Sunday everyone, keep creating!!!
🩷🩵💜💛
