I can't believe it's been nine months! Finishing the Wolf triptych has been a bit like bringing a newborn into the world.

What a long haul since I first saw a vintage dressing table mirror outside a local shop and decided to turn it into a piece of art.

I've been fascinated by triptychs since I saw an exhibition at the Russian Museum in Málaga a few years back. In my mind, the folding nature of a triptych dovetails nicely with the concept of an artist's book.

I've loved working on The Wolf at the Door and I'm sure this won't be my last triptych. Watch this space by subscribing to my RSS feed!

Congratulations, well done!

I particularly like the aspect of the girl riding the wolf.

Have you been doing other artistic projects alongside this one, or has this one been your sole focus?

I know you always give creative attention to your business and blog as well.

Thanks Fritzie, the girl riding the wolf is one of my favourite parts as well!

As well as working daily on the triptych - from prep sketches to the completed piece - I spent quite a long chunk of time this year making a digital kit from my Grow Wings paper doll. That ate into my 'art' time. And, as well as coaching daily and maintaining my blog, as you pointed out, I also taught a painting student and did a big revamp on someone else's blog 😅 But the year's not over yet!

Oh yeah, and I'm completely re-writing the 8 Habits eBook I wrote some years back!
