Yes, it's that time of year when I do a bit of a round up of my creative year.
This helps me to see where I have been and the direction I am heading. It also may let you catch up on a few bits you may have missed.

| January |
January got off well with me discovering how much I enjoyed working with papercloth. This was to be a life saver for the months to come, as January began to go downhill rapidly as I became ill with pneumonia
.After a miserable few weeks February began...only to see me breaking my foot after a tumble down some stairs. Stuck in a plaster cast unable to bear any weight on my foot for weeks on end sure focuses the mind......

| wild sewing |
So that is what I did, relentlessly!!! I made loads of little panels which I call wild sewing pieces. I also learned to crochet via you tube!

| April poppies |
 |
| April forget-me-nots |
 |
| May at Abbotsford |
May and I was back enjoying life, painting outside in the Scottish borders, Spring was horribly wet but after being cooped up inside for so long every sunny day seemed magical!

| Buttercup hare |
 |
| Bluebells in May |
And also a few new pieces for galleries in Lancashire. This piece
was made for Drift gallery in St Annes.
 |
| June |
 |
| July |
July and Skyeworks has made a wee space for my bits and pieces... I really like them grouped together.
 |
| August |
 |
| Wet day in August |
 |
| September |

October |
 |
| November |
And finally December.
We have arrived at the years end....This piece was made for a winter exhibition in St Annes in Lancashire.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Morag, and I hope your wishes for 2016 will be realised a plenty! I can't believe I've been following your Blog for nearly a year! Where has the time gone I wonder. Looking forward to seeing what beautiful pieces of art you create next year.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cath. I usually try and reply to comments via email but I can't do that with many Google + visitors so may I wish you a very happy New year. Thanks for all your supportive c ommments throughout the year.
DeleteYou gave me the idea for an yearly overview last year, and this year I remembered to do it just in time :-) Your year didn't start out well healthwise, but creatively it sure has been a great year. Looking forward to a new year full of your beautiful works! Wishing you smooth sailing into the next year!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful post FULL of your beautiful and colorful art Morag. I LOVE First Snow so much. There is such a peacefulness about it. September and October are pretty wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteI hope there will be no broken feet in 2016 and look forward to seeing what you create for your upcoming exhibit!

What a fantastic creative year you've had!Even through the illness and pain you've continued to produce such beauty. I particularly love the stitched paintings. Happy new year Morag, may it bring you everything you hope and wish.xx
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea to put things into perspective. Even though your year wasn't the most healthy for you, you sure managed to cope well by creating beautiful pieces full of colour, texture and your favourite subjects.
ReplyDeleteHugs and all the best to you,
Renee
A lovely round up of the year and a lovely peep back at your beautiful work. I shall be looking forward to seeing your new pieces in 2016 and I hope you have a very Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing all these colorful and artful pleasures throughout the year! It is always a great pleasure to come here. Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely fascinating round-up, I enjoyed seeing these again and reading your own comments. Your textile/paper work is so unique and painterly and I appreciated it even more when I saw it in the gallery in Skye in the summer.
