17.01.2022 I'm not going to do the whole "Before and After Reveal" right now (be warned, there is SO much of that yet to come lol) but on Saturday night, almost 3 years to the day that I moved in here, I threw a little party - part belated birthday and part celebration of the doors finally opening on the Bridge Street Studio!! Kind, funny, supportive people came and we all had a lovely time The amount of work I have had to do on this place has been, for me, with zero experience o...f this sort of thing - mind blowing. Sometimes fun (usually when there was a sledge hammer involved) bloody expensive, and at times utterly overwhelming and a bit depressing. It has been a mammoth learning curve, but now I can say I've got no fear of power tools, and I've learned so many new skills, it's just awesome! There is probably another 3 years worth of work I could be doing right now! But on Saturday afternoon, as my decals were being put on those big front windows, it felt like a good time to step back for a moment, take a breath and have a little excitable giggle to myself!! Something's Happened!! I've really made something happen Couldn't post this without a shout out to Raymond. The poor lad was renting this place when I bought it, and little did he know what was about to happen He's been around through thick and thin, someone to run ideas by, to hold the ladder (or go up the ladder when it's too high for me lol) To mow the lawns, smuggle mulch, endless trips to Bunnings, empty buckets of rainwater pouring through the roof I'd just had fixed! To lift objects no single human being should ever be asked to shift lol. He's listened to me get excited, and cry a lot, and complain. He's been a firm friend and a fair dinkum next level Legend (aghhh felt just like Alf Stewart writing that ) And I also want to thank Troy who kind of appeared when all the wind was out of my sails, and has been so generous with his time and skills So, with 2020 almost behind us, it's time for me to Really step up, and start producing some work worthy of hanging on these freshly plastered walls! Maybe even a few workshops here or a weekly class? Who knows? Exciting times I'd say!

17.01.2022 "It's Half-five woman! Tools down. It's walk time." "I'm serious! Give me the paint brush. Drop it! DROP!" Tom's got no shame when it comes to guilting you into getting what he wants, and he always wants his afternoon walk lol. Look at that face! ... And I can almost hear him thinking "...well, if you hadn't wasted so much time on your bloody phone today and done a bit more painting you wouldn't be feeling like this!" @nsw_bull_terrier_rescue_inc #accountabilitypartner #bullterrierlife #hesthebossofme #selfemployedandlovingit #rescuedogsrock #adoptdontshop #toolsdown #studiolifestyle #artstudiolife #studioboss #dogswithnailpolish #fivethirtysomewhere #paintbrushkiller #bullterrierlove #bridgestreetstudio # #atelierinteractive #equineartist #ruralliving #horseartist

17.01.2022 Oooo looks like my 'Hairy Coo' has sold! This beautiful fella was photographed at the incredible Royal Welsh Show a couple of years back. Who doesn't love a highland cow?!

17.01.2022 Bit of painting on the verandah. These winter days are Glorious, and a reminder that it is only a couple of days until spring 2020 is sprung!

15.01.2022 Detail of my 'Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and Gumnuts' hand coloured linoprint. I see these cheeky fellas around here all the time (and if you don't see them you definitely hear them!) I love the way they hang off branches like this. I still have some available from my etsy shop, with all sorts of pretty coloured backgrounds, although that sienna brown is still my favourite

14.01.2022 Woop woop!! New batch of greetings cards arrived today Taken from my series of hand coloured linoprints of the birds and small mammals of SW Queensland. They are beautiful quality, and blank inside so great for any occasion. You can buy then singularly or as a set, direct from me here, or at www.etsy.com/shop/SOPHIESORELLA

14.01.2022 With the prospect of Bridge Street Studio finally opening its doors in a couple of weeks, here is a nice little throwback to my life in Africa, and my 'studio' back then. Painting African wild dogs outside our house (the Nissan 4x4 lol) in Malindi beach, Kenya. Oh boy, I can remember how mind-bendingly hot it was there! No place for acrylics! . . . .... #wildlifeartist #malindikenya #lovekenya #paintingwildlife #wildlifeinacrylic #paintkenya See more

11.01.2022 Sent another "Red tailed black cockatoo and Banksia" to its new home today. He's always been one of the most popular in my hand coloured linoprint series, but it came to my attention he's no 46 out of 49! So if you've had a hankering for a cockatoo, jump on my Etsy shop or just message me here... fast lol! xx . .... . #handcolouredlinoprint #linocutprint #linoprinting #blackcockatoo #redtailedblackcockatoo #australianbirdsarebeautiful #banksiafriday #redbanksia #yellowbanksia #cheekybird #beadyeye #brighteyes #bridgestreetstudio #sophiesorella #lastchancetobuy #buyartfromartists #buyfromthebush #supportlivingartists #newenglandartist #australianwildlife #birdart #worksonpaper #hydrusink #cockatoopainting #cockatooprint See more
