Exciting changes ahead...

I know I've been a terrible tease, with talk of new and exciting things to come, but please bear with me. At long last, I have a brand-spankin' new website on the way, and it's been a labour of love to get it up and running. It's <i>almost </i>there - just a few last-minute tweaks and tucks, and it'll be good to go. So for those of you who've been so patient and put up with my teasing ways, I promise I'll make it up to you. I'll be having a grand opening, with exclusive pieces, goodies and discounts to celebrate, so I hope you'll think it was worth the wait. In the meantime, I've finally managed to finish a work on canvas that's been doing a little teasing of its own. And for those of you who are partial to a bit of zesty neon, this should be right up your alley....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0pZ21ZR1eRAiUSkhmbIO_bt2SriUzb0kU4rtRoa0vgtzEqm55JbR-14GLCPziQ3bZ7ujUYkBCPppUqCFF9dHMbsL7w4yTEgSw_KDBVVJgsHsjFes5NsH-R90Qi53UHar5mEhWrgr7MNMg/s1600/neon+abstract2+resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0pZ21ZR1eRAiUSkhmbIO_bt2SriUzb0kU4rtRoa0vgtzEqm55JbR-14GLCPziQ3bZ7ujUYkBCPppUqCFF9dHMbsL7w4yTEgSw_KDBVVJgsHsjFes5NsH-R90Qi53UHar5mEhWrgr7MNMg/s640/neon+abstract2+resize.jpg" width="628" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">'Atomic'</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">mixed media on canvas</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">810mm x 810mm (30" x 30")</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's been a stressful week - I have my last baby away at Schoolies.
