Hello online world :)</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It has been an incredible whirlwind of emotion and experience the past few months. I had the launch of my solo exhibition 'Lepidoptera' at the Locavore and it was smashing. So happy. I sold many painting to dear friends and a few strangers. Can't wait to imagine them in their new homes and what (hopefully) they will bring their new owners. It's always so lovely to know that someone fell in love with a piece. Really connected with it. It really does keep me drawing. I have been getting back into the swing of things nicely though....so many ideas, thoughts, dreams swirling around in my head constantly. I can't find the time to scribble them all down. Focusing has never been my strong suit. An overactive imagination and constant dreaming comes easily to me though. I am finding it increasingly easier to draw the things I want now, the things inside my head. My drawings evolve a lot more naturally- when I am putting pen to paper now I find it easier to channel the thoughts. To turn them into beautiful ladies with expressive eyes. I am liking that. I makes the process of creation a whole lot easier and not riddled with self doubt like it used to. I can draw freely without worry or too much self-analysis. I love the ladies from my dreams and in my head and am really enjoying seeing them come to life on my wood panels. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am super excited about the new commission I have planned in the works for my father- a massive landscape aligned panel 2 metres wide and a quarter of that size in height, an interesting and new shape for me.....a new deviation from my typical portrait/A1 panels. I am looking forward to the challenged this will throw at me and learning to use space in a completely new way. Yes. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is my latest. I can't wait to get going and show you what I have in store. Always thinking! Thank you for your support and continual lovely words. They keep me sane. And very, very happy.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This month I've started prepping for my solo show at Locavore in October. I've been doing a few little drawings and studies and I've started to get back in to drawing my really intricate Victorian / Mongolian lace inspired collars. It's lots of fun!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love drawing tiny little details. Maybe why that's why I enjoy drawing insect studies so much. I'm all about those tiny little pinprick dots and interconnecting lines. I love how these intricacies can be mirrored in fashion. Pattern and repetition. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love these little details, they add a much needed element to what can be a relatively simple and loose lines lady. In my opinion. They add depth and interest. And who doesn't love peeking at little details in art with you nose two centimetres away from the surface and following the strokes? Well, I do. Hehe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's all in the detail. I've had to stock up on posca's cos I'm roaring through the ink! I've also bought some amazing new paper in all different shades of white/cream/browns. It's super yummy. It will be interesting drawing on paper again for me! I've become so accustomed to working with wood and dealing with grains...I think I've actually even changed my drawing technique to compensate for how difficult it is to work on sometimes. So I am really looking forward to scribbling on some paper again, and I'll be able to do some watercolour washes again too :) </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I just really realised that getting to stuck on one idea was super silly....why not try everything and anything and I've decided I don't really care that my style is all over the place :) Can't wait to get into the studio again on Monday. I just wish it was all I was doing! Love my day job but all I wanna do is paint paint draw draw draw play play play and flit around a beautiful studio all day. Hehe.</span></div>

I've been busting to tell you!! One of my favourite places in Stirling, <a href="http://www.thelocavore.com.au/">The Locavore</a>, has kindly offered me a exhibition :) I am VERY excited. This will be my first true show of my work in a more formal setting (I don't really count my place of work and the beautiful trees of the Hills Secret Garden really because they were less formal and the focus wasn't really on me anyway). I will be hanging some of my most recent pieces, as well as a few archives and some new nude studies that will be nestled in the alcoves of this beautiful Hills restaurant. I think this is a big step forward for me and although I am scared silly of what people might say about my work I think it's really important for me to finally get myself out there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway.....after a suggestion from my lovely <a href="http://facebook.com/evenkeelmusic">Lucas</a> to research the origins of the name <i>Melisandre</i> (the name of one of my latest fire twins), I came across some interesting stuff. Melisandre originates from the Greek 'Melisa' meaning Honey Bee and the name Melisandre represents strength and a strong connection with animals. I found this interesting as I have painted my twins surrounded by licking flames, a place where to me not many animals would survive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
But I got a sudden inkling to paint/draw blackened bee's surrounding and swarming the main ladies 'shadow' (smaller girl in background)...I imagine them nestled in her hair, buzzing around her and disappearing into the flames. I don't know what this is meant to mean yet <i>(if anything by the way)</i> but I am now excited...Can't wait to get down the studio and hash it out now that her initial layering is done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I have definitely been getting in to a little bit of a bee/bug/butterfly/general insect obsession recently. I've been sketching away and drawing tiny little insect studies all over the place. In fact I'm tossing up whether to call my solo show in September at the <a href="http://www.thelocavore.com.au/">Locavore</a> 'Lepidoptera' ~ which is the word for 'collection or order of various butterflies and moths'. I've made a mock flyer...what do you think?</span><br />

Her character in the show/books has beautiful white blonde hair with an almost silver quality to it, so I am attempting to replicate that. Cue dramatic music. This is much harder than I originally thought. I've decided I much prefer <i>drawing </i>hair than painting it ;) But no matter....These past few months have taught me it's all about confidence and exploration....Right? Right. I'll try to keep telling myself that. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a little bit scared to push her too far so I am going to play around with her digitally using photoshop over the next few weeks, so I won't make any rash decisions that may ruin her forever. I was thinking of giving her a gold leaf halo, what do you think? It might all be a bit too much, but I just love gold leaf. Mmmmm :) I also have to make a decision on whether to add more bugs & insects or whether I should leave them as they are and start filling in her dress. This is <i>another</i> thing I am anticipating to be a bit of a challenge for me. I just have to do a lot of reading and exploration about how to paint material....something tells me it won't be a walk in the park though.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
I also did some gold leafing and some quick speed drawing to get things flowing. It was really fun and I was quite pleased with the results. If I do say so self. Hehe. Drawing comes so much more naturally to me.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The more I am down playing and flitting around my little studio I realise how much painting, drawing, squishing paint around on wood....everything to do with art really, is just like a science. Constant equations to work out....what to mix with what, what will go on top of what, which colours will mix together.....it makes my head hurt sometimes! But in a good way. I have been feeling very invigorated & challenged recently...just in case you were interested. Everyone should try drawing or painting or shmooshing or frolicking & wondering and wandering about art. It is so fulfilling! Warms up my soul (and I need it in this bitterly cold hills weather).</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wheeeee! There's some food for thought. 'Till next time!</span></div>

After feeling sick for three days I wasn't really feeling my soft pink and purple vibes I was before, needed something a bit more gritty and angry to get my hands into. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I ended up painting/drawing the start of my beautiful Fire Twins. It's the first time (I think) I've drawn multiple faces on one board and it was an interesting experience. It's actually really hard! I wanted them to bounce off one another nicely and not look <i>too</i> different...but I didn't want to end up with exactly the same face! They are a bit more ferocious looking than Daenerys but they are far from finished yet. But I am so happy with the sense of movement I managed to achieve with the paint. It makes them feel like their faces are emerging out of it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The thing I'm starting to learn with painting is the process of layering. The paint, although bending and twisting with me, doesn't get along with my impatience. I see a colour pattern and want to develop it, but have to wait till that bit has dried to continue because it will all end up smoodging together and looking like a lovely shade of baby poo (esque) brown colour. This is frustrating for me but is teaching me to <i>slow down</i> and I like that :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My amazing new 'witches broom' (as one of my Instagram darlings put it) is AMAZING. Seriously. I actually can't get over it. If you want to get all techincal: it's an Escoda synthetic bristle brush ~ size six (it's BIG). It handles amazingly well. I mix my palette and then swish with baby through it, dribble on some glazing medium and I am able to create the most amazing movement and abstract textures as a background to my girls. It blends beautifully.....for the amount it set me back it is WELL worth it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good blocker. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Enough blabbering. There's no one here to tell me to stop, sorry. Enjoy my photo's! See if you like my Fire Twins......</span><br />

So exciting (I know, you can't contain it can you)....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I bought a glazing medium which was something I really have no idea about but let me tell you, I'M IN LOVE WITH THE STUFF. It basically acts as a thinner but adds a gloss and sheen to the paint and brings out all the colours and oh oh OH. So good. I find it really lets the paint pigment come through, even when I was working on unprimed stretched linen. It means your paint goes further as well, and seeing as I'm poor that's always a good thing. I can't wait to keep experimenting....Today has been such a departure from last week when I was so frustrated with myself and painting! I have to just remember to keep playing and practicing and it will slowly unravel and I will gain confidence...I think.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have a great book that was given to me called 'Chinese Painting' by Chow Chen-Ying and it has some great tutorials on how to loosly draw flowers and petals in a beautiful oriental style. I love it! It really helped me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Out for now, bye!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Today I have been frolicking down in my studio and it has been deeeeelicious. I love it. The incense is burning, the candles are lit and I <i>finally </i>cleaned my palette. Ah. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have been playing around with some pretty new oil colours that I unearthed, just seeing how the paint is reacting with the wood- what mixers I have to use....just generally trying to get a handle on whatever the hell I'm doing. I find myself easily frustrated when it comes to painting ~ it is not something that is coming all that naturally to me...not like drawing does. I know I just have to spend the <i>time </i>and practice practice practice but the impatient part of my personality wishes I could just be good at it already! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I find it easier to combat the abstract elements of painting- but portraiture is another thing entirely. The face changes so much as you try to paint it / versus draw it. My god. You have to build up layers and start of with a much looser idea and placement of the features than when you just make a mark with drawing and map out where the eyes/nose/cheekbones go at the beginning. It has made me realise I definitely need to get going on doing some research and reading on the planes and proportions of the face. Once I have a true handle on where everything is meant to fall and how the face changes at different angles / where the light falls etc I think painting faces will come a lot easier and I won't be getting as annoyed with myself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For now I have just been drawing away on some more insects for Daenerys and am in the process of blocking in her beautiful white hair with some oils (mix of titanium and zinc white). I will be putting in some shadows and darking strands with a light grey and the highlight of her braids. I have pretty much decided upon a dusty grey/blue light wash for her dress but I will have to do lots of practice at drawing material before I make any marks that might ruin her. I've don't usually draw clothing on my girls! Hehe.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Well here are some photos of my latest endeavors. Bye pretties!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Today I have been frolicking down in my studio and it has been deeeeelicious. I love it. The incense is burning, the candles are lit and I <i>finally </i>cleaned my palette. Ah. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have been playing around with some pretty new oil colours that I unearthed, just seeing how the paint is reacting with the wood- what mixers I have to use....just generally trying to get a handle on whatever the hell I'm doing. I find myself easily frustrated when it comes to painting ~ it is not something that is coming all that naturally to me...not like drawing does. I know I just have to spend the <i>time </i>and practice practice practice but the impatient part of my personality wishes I could just be good at it already! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I find it easier to combat the abstract elements of painting- but portraiture is another thing entirely. The face changes so much as you try to paint it / versus draw it. My god. You have to build up layers and start of with a much looser idea and placement of the features than when you just make a mark with drawing and map out where the eyes/nose/cheekbones go at the beginning. It has made me realise I definitely need to get going on doing some research and reading on the planes and proportions of the face. Once I have a true handle on where everything is meant to fall and how the face changes at different angles / where the light falls etc I think painting faces will come a lot easier and I won't be getting as annoyed with myself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For now I have just been drawing away on some more insects for Daenerys and am in the process of blocking in her beautiful white hair with some oils (mix of titanium and zinc white). I will be putting in some shadows and darking strands with a light grey and the highlight of her braids. I have pretty much decided upon a dusty grey/blue light wash for her dress but I will have to do lots of practice at drawing material before I make any marks that might ruin her. I've don't usually draw clothing on my girls! Hehe.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Well here are some photos of my latest endeavors. Bye pretties!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Not much to report on....Back to drawing insects this week.......I have added a few detail to Daeneyres and she is coming along (slowly) but surely. I really don't want to rush her. I will probably leave some of the insects for now to give my hand (and brain) a break and start working on her wonderful silver blonde hair (I will be painting it white). I am also going to start researching background inspirations. Exciting! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have finished drawing the main dragonfly (Anisoptera) on her chest, a creepy lady-butterfly (Lepidoptera) on her right shoulder and a water beetle (Ceoleoptera) nestling on her left arm. Coming up will be approx. 10 more insects, so I better get researching! First up will be an amazing Bee (Apis) cluster as an amazing art nouveau inspired hair clip over her right ear.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For now I have been scribbling away in my moleskine and just trying to keep my mind moving as much as I can....Tiredness constantly seems to be enveloping me and I wish that I could be spending more time at home in my studio and less time at work.....but money has to come in somewhere. I girl needs her vino! Sigh.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have been loving flipping through my amazing Art Nouveau book this week to inspire my tired eyes, and I am in love with so many beautiful things in there. So stunning. I wish I lived in that era! So much detail and lovely aesthetic put into every part of their lives: home, fashion, art, lifestyle. Amazing.</span><br />

It has been such a long time since I have written here! Time constantly gets away from me........it moves so fast and so slow at the same time but always manages to sweep me up into whichever way I need/choose/want/have to go and I do get very distracted.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
But I am finally moved into an exciting new little studio space below our current rental house and it is FABULOUS. I adore pottering around arranging various found objects and pretty things to make my space as beautiful as my drawings I want to create in there.<br />
<br />
Surroundings are very important/inspirational to me. I often find that if I am not in the right space then I will not be in the right space of mind to paint......or something. I love to sit and ponder and flutter around the room reading and lighting incense and singing and watching and learning as well as my drawing and painting ~ I have never been an artist to just sit down and get cracking (translation: ultimate procrastinator). So this means that as I flutter and skip and swirl around my room I have to feel inspired and visually stimulated at all times.....Thus why I spend so much time foraging for new goodies in thrift shops and continuing my obsession with things that hang and glass jars.<br />
<br />
Now enough blabbering and more about my latest piece. After the whirlwind that was the fantastic <a href="http://hillssecretgarden.com.au/">Hills Secret Garden</a> event I took a step back from my art for a while, for what continued to be a lazy almost month long hiatus from anything. I think I needed time to settle and organise my life before throwing myself into any new projects, but now I have moved house and am living comfortably again in a new space, new ideas are constantly swirling and forming inside my brain like little snowflakes in a snow storm ~ sometimes I can catch them, other times they melt before I can catch another glimpse but they are so beautiful I don't really mind. I'm sure I will constantly be thinking and stumbling upon new things in my new studio.<br />
<br />
I dream a lot and this certainly will be taking a new meaning in my work as I delve for more intimate and intricate and insane detail and hidden worlds. I want to unearth what happens inside my mind as I sleep and as I day dream and as I'm doodling. I like those worlds. In those worlds I am a water lily wood nymph fairy goddess who doesn't need to go to work or do washing or pay car registration. I simply flit and flutter around and create beautiful things. Oh.<br />

Daenerys Targaryan from Game of Thrones (TV Show) is my current muse. I love her white hair and pouty lips and wonderful costuming. I also love the Art Nouveau era (but hey, what's new?) so that is being incorporated too. Alas it is only a vague outline at this stage ~ but tomorrow holds so much promise. The insects are just calling to be given a home on Daenerys' beautiful arms and shoulders.</div>

I like to specify which paints are Windsor & Newton Water Mixable Oils or Artist Spectrum Oils (they require turps to mix/clean). It makes it easy to work out which brushes to use for which colours and which mediums to mix with. The teapots in my studio are for my mixing mediums / black for water and red for turps. Colour mixing is a science I'm finding :)</div>

Well this month has been a little bit of a rollercoaster! I have been preparing for my upcoming show at the <a href="http://hillssecretgarden.com.au/">Hills Secret Garden Festival</a> and madly painting (and majorly stressing) to get all my girls in shape for them to swing in the breeze as they hang in the trees......</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Magic, stars, nebulas and my dreams are inspiring me this month, and my lover <a href="http://musingsofluca.blogspot.com/">Luca</a> is my rock and my support system (sorry for being a crazy artist psycho).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make sure you purchase your ticket for the Festival soon ~ they are quickly selling out! I am so very excited, I can't wait for you to meet my new girls. Hope to see all you beauties there! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Visit <a href="http://hillssecretgarden.com.au/">hillssecretgarden.com.au</a> or the <a href="http://facebook.com.au/hillssecretgarden">FB</a> page to purchase tickets.</div>

Such a beautiful woman and beautiful works.</div>

A thousand dreams within me softly burn."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
These past weeks have been filled with surprise, determination and fulfillment. Everything is changing, but with that comes evolution and excitement.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been sketching out some more lovely ladies, with two that I am particularly enamored by already...Helena had her gold leaf crown created and some girls are now hanging at the <a href="http://organicmarket.com.au/">Organic Market and Cafe</a> until March.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been reading and absorbing and laughing and crying and playing and giving until I have nothing left to give, and it is all starting to pay off. I of course am filled with doubt and a critical inner voice, I have to learn to pass through this stage and be happy with every outcome, even if it is completely different to how I wanted it to be. I have my dark moments where I am unhappy with my work and what I am doing, but have reached a certain state of peace and calm serenity (this will most definitely change closer to the deadline of the Secret Garden Festival)....</div>

As you know (or you may not, hehe) I am exhibiting my work at the <a href="http://hillssecretgarden.com.au/">Hills Secret Garden Festival</a> in March, so very exciting! I have been chipping away on my newest body of work 'The Melancholy Muse'....But still have so much more to do! Wheeeee!! I have some great ideas bubbling away in my brain just waiting to rise to the surface and have the sun touch them like the mermaids I'm painting in my dreams. But for now here's a sneak peak at the almost finished Thalea and a newly started mermaid sister for her....I'm thinking Miranda (that might change though as she emerges).</div>

I am excited to announce my participation in an exciting new venture by my lovely and talented friend <a href="http://anyaanastasia.com/">Anya Anastasia</a> ...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The event is called <a href="http://hillssecretgarden.com.au/index.html">The Hills Secret Garden</a> and it will be one of the first places where I will have properly hung my work in an exhibition style setting....so it's all very exciting! More details surely to come soon, but for now- like the page on FB! Click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hillssecretgarden?fref=ts">here</a> for the link to the event.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will also be having my work hung at the <a href="http://organicmarket.com.au/">Organic Market and Cafe</a> again during February, so if you are a Adelaide dweller be sure to pop in for a delicious coffee and a sneaky perve on my girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These past months I have really just been gathering collections, thoughts, materials, splodging paint on wood...getting up to some inquisitive mischief.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My gorgeous friend Thalea has been my muse for a while...with her dark hair, big eyes and heavy brows she is like a modern walking klimt painting (and Mr. Klimt himself was (again) a heavy inspiration for this piece).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So needless to say it was only a matter of time before I got my hands on some charcoal and scribbled her beautiful face on some wood panels. Here are some progress pictures, hopefully more to come as I will be painting like a crazy lady for the next two months!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She is also available now as prints, tshirts, ipod and laptop skins and all manner of other goodies on my <a href="http://society6.com/EllenMaire">society6</a> page......</div>

<i>'All children are artists. They problem is trying to remain an artist as you grow up." </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>- Pablo Picasso.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has been an inspiration to me for a very long time. So long. Every since I was a little girl I have always been fascinated with the world of Picasso. I was told that I surprised my family when I visited an overseas art gallery (British?) and whilst she was going to ask where his work was hung so I could see it, I had already found and identified it. (Age six- Mum?) I thank my parents for allowing me to be exposed to such amazing art from such a young age.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love his work- surreal, expressive, cubist or realist. He is a diverse and talented artist who I constantly find my self utterly absorbed by. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Late last year my partner and I went to see an amazing Picasso exhibition in Sydney and I was BLOWN AWAY. Each of his many 'periods' were so different from one another, so beautiful. Each stroke was lovingly rendered. Each colour placement seemingly subconscious yet all in perfect symmetry and harmony with one another and their placement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Man, he makes me want to pick up my paintbrush and splatter some boldness onto a fresh canvas. And draw weird lips and eyes. All the time.</div>

In trying to exercise my overactive mind and imagination I have been doing a lot of experimenting and sketching lately. I am trying not to touch some of my more 'evolved' pieces in fear or screwing them up, but to keep the creative ball rolling I am trying to create something everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speed drawing and sketching is very therapeutic for me. I love the freedom and I find myself being surprised at how freely my hand draws and how fluid my lines and marks become.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though these sketches are not really in any relation to any major piece I am working on at the moment they help me to relax and draw somewhat subconsciously opposed to self-consciously.<br />

Today we went on a glorious visit to the museum. I haven't been for quite a while but I loved it just as much as I always have. I love wandering the floors and looking at butterfly specimens and ogling mummification embalming sheets. My favourite place is the Minerals Room though. I get far too carried away inspecting the amazing rocks and crystals and wishing I had it all as my own private collection.</div>

These past month(s) have been relatively steady for me art-wise. I was offered a chance to sneak my work up on the Organic Market walls as a fill in and in that time I managed to sell 4 pieces! It is still very strange to me- this idea of parting with my work. I still maintain a sense of pride and it makes my cheeks redden when I realise people might actually want to have my work hanging up in their houses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the idea that art touches people....that it may connect and inspire. I am so humbled by the fact that this happens with my pieces and am very excited to embark on the journey of creating work now not only for my own pleasure, but in the hopes of enticing people and allowing them to delve into the worlds of my ladies, even if only for a minute. </div>

<i>“I have always been fascinated by the ocean, to dip a limb beneath its surface and know that I'm touching eternity, that it goes on forever until it begins here again.”</i> <i><b>― Lauren DeStefano.</b></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been very drawn to the ocean and the depths of the sea this month. Maybe because it's so damn cold here I haven't felt the silky water on my now albino white skin for over five months. Maybe because the Southern Ocean flows directly into the Antarctic. All I know is that the last time I swam in the ocean it was a full moon and there was a thunderstorm going on (I know, dangerous). It was so magical. I felt like singing. I think I did sing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
All my life I've wished I was a mermaid. I love the ocean and water and fish and seaweed and coral. This month I have been particularly fixated on octopuses (yes, that is the correct way of saying it- no octopi around here). I love their flowing limbs, wait...can you call them limbs when the things have no bones? Anyway...they are intelligent, graceful and elegant creatures. Oh, and they have three hearts. Yup.</div>

I am looking to incorporate them into a piece soon, but for now I am just randomly sketching when i miss the sea. I bought a new moleskin and am enjoying scribbling away. I also got some new oil paints and have ordered some great tutorial books, I can't wait to start mastering them. I am really just playing around for now and squishing the paint around my palette with my hands and some beautiful new brushes. I love oils. </div>

Fairy tales are great. I love them. I was obsessed when I was a young girl. I am still obsessed. Female heroines. Flowing hair. Fantastic dresses. Prince Charming(s).</div>

These female antagonists and exciting adventures through forests and in castles are dreamlike and other-worldly. Having recently been to see the new Snow White and the Huntsman movie (twice, shh) my desire to ride of into the sunset and wrap my hair up in ribbons and pearls and put on my favourite ball gown (I don't own one sadly) was reinvigorated.</div>

This Snow isn't your average chick. She kicks butt though. It seems like Chris Hemsworth's character of the burly Huntsman seems to be just following her around and serving no other purpose than some visual pleasure and the occasional 'helping hand' through bogs and mushroom-trip like forests. I'm a sucker for porcelain skin and red lips, and through her adventures she proved that innocence and care will get you far. And if you're beautiful that probably helps too.</div>

I haven't done anything new in the past few weeks, having a slow lull. But have been working on my wooden piece, developing the hair (thanks, Snow) and exploring my love of roses (a.k.a working out how to paint them).</div>

It's winter here. It's cold. It's beautiful. It makes for perfect drawing time. Abracadabra! I love magicky stuff. I love Harry Potter....I love witches hats.....I love black cats.....I love smoke and potions and herbs and plants and long walks in dark forests. So that's where my inspiration has come from this month.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bring on the world, especially when you have a little bit of magic with you.</div>
<div>
Look deeper inside of yourself and be unafraid of what's there.</div>
<div>
Make sure you live with love.</div>
<div>
Make sure you live with yourself.</div>
<div>

Here's come photo's of my newest piece I did as a commission for Kate. Love you! I hope she likes it. I've named her Eira, which is Welsh for snow (I think).</div>

Bird In A Gilded Cage (Excerpt)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"She's only a bird in a gilded cage,</div>
A beautiful sight to see.<br />
You may think she's happy and free from care,<br />
She's not, though she seems to be.<br />
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life<br />
For youth cannot mate with age;<br />
And her beauty was sold<br />
for an old man's gold,<br />
She's a bird in a gilded cage."<br />

'<i>Melancholia</i>' Film Trailer: My latest inspiration.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These past few months I have really been searching and exploring the concept of double indenties, dual emotions, melancholia, blah blah. I watched the film Melancholia too, interestingly enough (it was astoundingly filmed, so beautiful). The theme of the film was that people who suffer from depression are more likely to remain calm in times of distress. This really interested me, and I know a lot of people who may seem happy but are not, and the other way around. This idea of concealent and the ability for us to feel two things at once really interested me. The piece i'm working on really starts to explore this. Her head and hair are beautiful and pure, but her body is decaying and fragile. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been working on my most recent piece for a while now. She is slowly progressing but I really don't want to rush her. I've named her already, she's called 'Paloma // The Girl Who Is Not What She Seems'.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started getting some big wood panels cut for me to paint
on, it was very exciting. I love the natural grain of the wood and the effects you can get on it. I haven't primed this particular piece yet because I liked how the charcoal and paint moved across it, it makes it part of the wood rather than just a surface. I will prime with others though if I want more detail, it's tiresome working against the grain of the wood with small ink details, it would be alot easier if smoother.<br />
<br />
Melancholia is an interesting diagnosis that many people may feel from time to time, so just remember that the people you love and care for may not be what they seem, so support them and be kind to one another. Here's some progress shots of my newest piece:<br />

Oh yes. It's that time of year again. The leaves are turning orange and red and are falling. Already? Well I don't really care. Autumn is far and away my favourite. You still get sunny days with beams that tickle you nose and warm your cheeks, but there's a crispness in the air that breathes purity and excitment. It's cool enough to wear my favourite beanies again, and warm enough that I can still sit in the sun with a t-shirt on and not regret bringing a woollen jumper. It's cool enough that sleeping in can seem like the smallest luxury and warm enough that you don't need to haul wood up to the house from the shed. A cup of coffee must always be in your hand at this time of year, you never know what might happen.<br />
<br />
It's this time of year that I also feel I am at my most creative. A lazy day inside wrapped up in a rug can lead to a simple drawing and some work on my journal can lead to a full fledged painting with nothing holding me back. And of course as soon as I'm sick of the sound of my own crazy thoughts, it's still so beautiful outside that I can pick up and go for a walk and spend time collecting leaves, especially in the beautiful autumn colours, and noticing all the little treasures that are so often passed by.<br />
<br />
My latest piece is I have slowly been working on is definitely inspired by the beauty of this time of year. I haven't named her yet, but I was thinking Hazel....hmm....Well here are some shots of her and the creative cycle. All photo's taken on my iPhone4 and are © Ellen Maire 2012.<br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span">But they're not always pretty. I like them when they are though. So excited to attempt a piece inspired by the amazing creatures that are mermaids. Do they exist? I've always thought so, but I still had fairy gardens and nypmph-like creations when i was 12. They are universally recognised as an enigmatic obsession, with many tales and stories reflecting their beauty and sometimes magic. I have always loved mermaids, and have always had a special connection with any body of water. Swimming was the only sport I've ever really excelled at, so that's <i>really</i> saying something. Women in particular look amazing in the ocean. The fluidity of their bodies in current, the hair suspended in the water. I especially love the hair. So soft, so beautiful. Weightless and flowing. Insert wolf whistle here. Fashion is always influenced by mermaids- Guiltier's d</span><span class="Apple-style-span">resses from Spring 2008 Couture scream women of the sea, and Penelope Cruz is seen rocking a mermaid cut dress every time she sets her hot foot on the red carpet. </span></div><div><br />
</div><div>I've started with a loose painting of my mermaiden, just a rough start but we'll see where it takes me. Hmm. The doilies are not permanent, I was just applying them to the wet paint to pull it off when it dries, making interesting patterns for the background.</div><div><br />

Have been searching high and low for inspiration lately....and I was hitting all sorts of brick walls until BAM! I found it in an enexepected but entirely lovingly recieved way....Star Wars. Oh yes. It's been done before, I know. And I've always been a fan, but I haven't revisited the wonderful world or Mr. Lucas for a long time.<br />
<br />
Watching my own Lucas play in his band Apolarbear (visit <a href="http://facebook.com/apolarbearmusic">ApolarbearMusic</a> and check them out) with an amazing Aussie export band "The Red Paintings" (look them up <a href="http://www.theredpaintings.com/v2/photos.htm">here</a> for some examples of their crazy outfits) I was immediatly struck by the bands bizarre costuing and out of this world laser show ('Scuse pun. Wait...No, I totally meant that one).<br />
<br />
The band and the Star Wars movies seemed to have a lot in common to me; avant-garde costuming, eccetric makeup, a presence that doesn't really belong in our grey suit and hipster oriented world. Dressing to us is a simple, often odious task. Conformity and cool-factor is what people are striving for now, and this is leaving people looking, acting and portraying the same exact image to me, over and over, perhaps in a slightly different shade. Personal and artistic expression seem to be loosing it's importance in fashion. An out-there idea or a fleeting desire to do whatever you want is genuinely becoming a thing of the past, and is something to be scared of, something weird.<br />
<br />
Dressing to Padme Amidala is a three hour exercise in disguise, masking her true face so she can rule with respect and uniformity. She wears pale make up and the characteristic red beauty dots and red stripe on her lip to symbolise a mark of remembrance. She is intriguing and enigmatic to me, and my obsession with her has been long standing, so I'm glad I can express her through my art. Hopefully I've done a good enough job. She's a big deal, you know. Of course you do. Duh. Ok, rant over. But just check out her amaaaazing costuming. Phew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the progress shot of the piece which I will call "Amidala (Defiant but Captivating)".<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately I have been loving the Victorian and Elizabethan eras. The jewels, the lace, the extravagant clothing...and the hair! If I had to put that much effort into my appearance just to be ignored and stepped on by every male in my structured life I would pretty much be ready to dig up a mini skirt and shout to some loud music. But these girls had no way of doing that, they wouldn't really have even known that there was another option; they would have just been wishing for a different life. But at least they had amazing lace dresses and jewelled neckpieces. Trawling the internet I found some beautiful photo's and fashion magazine spreads that really inspired me to draw a girl that would or could have somehow belonged in that era.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have named her "Lorena (Petulant And Imprisoned)" and I imagined that she was trapped in the splendour and the grace expected of her. I have followed on with my theme of mixed media and have glued some more pressed flowers and also real butterfly wings.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</script></div>Who doesn't like a mix of foxes, autumn tones and giant owls creeping out from behind vintage furniture? I sure do. Inspired this week by the "Mulberry A/W 2011" video add campaign with set design by Shona Heath (amazing) and photography by Tim Walker (you've definately seen his Alice in Wonderland shoots which are pretty damn spectacular). This iconic fashion brand releases an artistic add campaign to accoumpany their new collection every year and the results are all pretty spectaular. Laid-back elegance and edge of decadence are the key. Think foxes and feathers, all with a lovely blending of soft colouring and rich plum tones which complement the porcelain models prefectly. I'm particularly enamoured by the giant birds, foxes and other animalia that are digitally enhanced to be larger than life, often seen peeping out behind the models, catching the eye but somehow never quite detracting from the beautiful clothing. I've added some photo's of the shoot, enjoy the visual slendour (in my opinion).<br />

Check out artistic director, Shona Heath's website <a href="http://www.shonaheath.com/">here</a>. She's delightful.<br />

</div><div>This ad had been a great source of inspiration for my latest piece entitled "Esmarelda (Fair but Somber)", drawn with graphite, embellished with ink splattered with watercolour. I've pressed some more pretty petals which act as a Victorian style headpiece, with some doilies for good measure. (The photo doesn't show that but this was work in progress shot at the time and I don't have a more recent photo). </div><div><br />
