'Equidistance' - 2021 Watercolour, ink, acrylic, 'Equidistance' - 2021 Watercolour, ink, acrylic, brusho and bleach on aquafine watercolour paper Playing with abstract with my art classes this week and this was quite a lot of fun. No plan, no end point, no starting point, just a lot of experimenting. Knowing when to finish is always a tough one and I had thoughts about adding all kinds of things onto this... But then decided to stop 🙂 #art #abstract #watercolour #ink #brusho #acrylic #abstractart #bleach #colour #experimenting
Remember when after a year, I got totally bored of Remember when after a year, I got totally bored of waiting for an NHS Gender Clinic appointment? When I went to London for a privately paid for gender appointment. Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc. Remember when after three and half years, I got my very first NHS Gender Clinic appointment? Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc. Today I had NHS Gender Clinic appointment no2... Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc 🙄 Almost fours years on and those NHS wheels continue to turn insanely slowly 🐌... 🐌... 🐌 It's been two years now on my HRT treatment. All privately paid for 🙄 It's a long old road... (277/365) #photoadaychallenge #gender #female #transgender #transition #treatment #NHS #genderclinic #waitingtimes #snailspace #mentalhealth

'Buena Vista Vineyard' - 2021 collage, acrylic, i 'Buena Vista Vineyard' - 2021 collage, acrylic, ink, pencils, pens on paper 42 x 30cm Making art for me is all about the moment, the actual process of creating it. That's when my art really affects me, regardless of how the end product looks. Usually once I've finished creating something I detach and distance myself from it fairly quickly. Sometimes I like the artwork, sometimes I don't. But for me, liking is not massively important. I make the art for me and then it's up to everyone else to enjoy it if it pushes their buttons... And then occasionally I create something that I really really like 🙂 Something that pushes my own buttons. Which is making it fairly hard to detach from this right now. But I will 🙂 @posca_uk @rembrandtartistpaint @colourcraftltd #art #artwork #mixedmedia #collage #portrait #portraits #portraitartist #drawing #pencils #ink #brusho #posca #poscapens

Trans update time... Almost four years on this ge Trans update time... Almost four years on this gender transition journey now. Two years on the hormones. Endless blood tests, with another one this week 🙄 After a three and a half year wait the NHS finally took over my treatment this summer and I've got appointment number two in a few weeks time. Curtesy of the NHS I've also stated to get my face zapped with hot lasers, which is brilliant but f@#king painful 😳 Apart from that, I've nothing new to report really...

So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints 💗 This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before. I'd also frowned upon them a wee bit, but these were surprising nice to use 🙂 http://www.stephcoley.com http://www.facebook.com/StephanieSianColeyFineArtist Comments, likes, shares & subscribers are always welcomed 💗 ______ Music: Someday Musician: Alexander Delarge URL: https://icons8.com/music
