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...

New Paintings and a Visit to Tintinhull

I've been busy making daily paintings and here are a few of my most recent ones. I also have some finished paintings for sale listed in my Etsy shop but more of that later. Sometimes it's nice to have a break and a few days ago we visited Tintinhull in Somerset. The house is very beautiful and because of its smaller scale than most National trust properties, very homely too.  The view from the house into the garden is very pretty. It's lovely to wander around the garden, arranged like little rooms that link one to another.  A feast for the eyes from the beautiful and delicately coloured pale lemon tulips and hyacinths  ♥   ♥ and the Heuchera Plum Royale. (I had to Google that!)  😉 How very perfect don't you think? A very pretty house and garden. So now I'd like to show you my newest paintings. This one above is called Marina and is painted on 300gsm (140lb) watercolour paper with inks. I've listed it in my Et...
