About Me


Welcome to my blog, my name is Trish Bee & I live in the North West of England.

My other blog became corrupt so I had to import all my older blog posts into this one as to serve as a back up.

Ive decided to use this blog to showcase my latest artwork as well as mutterings on life and things in general.

Current Passions In Life:

I love being out and about in the countryside and at one with nature. Long walks with my jack russell terrier, sunshine, watching movies, shopping, reading, nature, sunshine, tv, earl grey tea, columbian coffee, chocolate and computer games.

Current Art Addictions:

art journals, painting, sketching, collage, abstract art, painting & handmade backgrounds

What Is Art?

Art is a form of self expression, it represents both freedom and speech. my own private language, sometimes i feel that words are not meaningful or powerful enough to express what i am feeling or thinking, in which case art then becomes my inner most voice and allows me to express myself in my chosen medium.


art n. the products of human creativity; works of art; the creation of beautiful things


art-venture - creative play involving uncertainty as to the outcome, to throw caution to the wind and participate in new or exciting art experiments and projects as part of ones creative and spiritual journey.

I Love My JRT

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross quotes (Swiss-American psychiatrist and author )

Fun Stuff


You Would Be a Pet Rabbit

Playful and hyper, you enjoy being around other people... as long as everyone's having fun.
You are easily bored, and you almost always need some sort of entertainment.
If you're not keeping busy, then you're apt to get in some sort of trouble!

Why you would make a great pet: You're very entertaining, even when you're not trying to be

Why you would make a bad pet: Well, personal hygiene isn't exactly your thing... you kind of smell sometimes

What you would love about being a rabbit: Playtime... and eating flowers

What you would hate about being a rabbit: Being held like a toy

I am a
Canna

What Flower
Are You?


Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent. You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored. You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts. And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be.
What Pattern Is Your Brain?
Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child. Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded. You cherish all of the details in life. Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.
How Is Your Inner Child?
What Trish Means

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.

You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.

You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.
