Summer Exhibition in Bristol

-

Well hello there! The time is nigh for the exhibition I'm taking part in next week. I've made some cards this time to sell alongside the main paintings. I've used recycled card and envelopes which was a mean feat to find in white let me tell you! If they're successful, I could make some more to sell in my Etsy shop after the exhibition. What do you think?


They're going to be £2.50 each which is more than I'd like to charge but the gallery takes 30% so you can see why I have to charge a teeny bit extra. :) Many galleries take 50% so this isn't unexpected!
Meanwhile, if you'd like to buy really affordable postcards of my work, please click here. :) Those of you who know Moo will appreciate the good quality prints they produce!


My paintings are just about ready to deliver, the inventory is typed and printed, cards are with their envelopes and in their cello sleeves,
so away we go!
The exhibition's going to be at the Grant Bradley Gallery in Bristol, UK. 

It will run from 3rd - 31st August and the Private View is on the Friday evening the 2nd August from 6pm. 
All are welcome! x x

the cards look fantastic. I have a couple of your postcards in frames they look great too, and also sent a framed one to one of my nieces on her 16..she loved it. if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the recycled card and envelopes from? it's not easy to find the good stuff.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor

Illustration Friday: Confined

I thought this was quite an appropriate word for some of us this week with all this snow! It was very exciting at first to have everyone home on a school day but today they're back and I must say it's nice to have the space again to get on with my own things! I've given my Etsy shop a new lease of life and will be adding these 2 ACEO's later on this morning. I do like drawing birds!

Two Birds Colourful Painting

I've finished the painting that I showed you in my last post. Above is a crop of it. Can you see the other bird on the right hand side? It looks as though that's the other bird's reflection doesn't it? As though he's looking in the mirror!  Here's another close up crop of the same painting. I made lots of layers of lovely bright pinks, blues and golds and made some scratching zig-zag patterns while the paint was still wet. Here's the whole painting. It measures 40 x 40cm, (that's 16inches square). It's hanging on my kitchen wall at the moment but it will eventually be exhibited in the summer. I'll tell you all about that another day. :) I've put a gallery on my new website, CLICK HERE to see. If you'd like to leave a comment on the guestbook page that would be lovely! :) Bye for now, have a lovely weekend. :) The sun appears to have arrived at last! xx
