Australian Friends

Here is a great Blog link I wanted to share on my Blog, enjoy!
The Byron Life: In Pictures :: Donna's Art House: "Hello. Today you are invited on a tour of the colourful home-studio of one of my favourite North Coast artists; Donna Sharam. Last week..."

The above blog link is worth taking some time and enjoying the vibrant colors and beautiful fun art of Donna Sharam. I met her on facebook and really love her style and just recently chatted with her about what she's up to lately. I was interested if she did art work for children's books. Here is her message to me I received that gives an insight into how busy she is and a bit about her life.

Hi Nicole,
Hope you guys are all doing well.
You asked me if I do any paintings etc for story books - so thought I'd answer through our personal message.
I have actually just written a picture book - about 30 pages ..... and I will be doing the illustrations / paintings for each page - it is just about having enough time!!!!
At present I am also working on 2 large paintings commissioned by people who want a specific painting - one is the Sydney Harbour and the opera House ....the other one is the waterfall view from the clients holiday house ...... I am also working towards - 18 new large paintings for an exhibition in Feb next year - ....I think it will be called 'Lying under Trees' ..... hence the new work you will start to see pop up on my visual art page ......
How is your Visiting Australia Blog going ????
Feel free to use my Sydney Harbour Bridge Painting to post on your blog if you want.....it is called 'Flame Trees'.
Cheers,
donna

I think Facebook is an amazing place to keep connected with others and what is happening in life.  Since the time difference can separate people from wake up and sleep hours it provides the ability to check in.  The other day I was browsing my friends facebook page and I found a link out to Jim Rohn's page.  I love Jim Rohn and didn't know he had a fan page.  I quickly liked the page and then began reading some of the comments people were making on the page.  One was from this interesting profile picture of fun art and so I clicked through to her site and started reading about her artwork.  I became a fan and found out that she is from Australia.  When I became a fan she sent me a nice message and so I thought I'd share a bit about her here since I'm collecting resources for my future.

I also found this nice quote -  Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process. - Jim Rohn
