I finished a big painting – horray! They always say “draw/write what you know” so I started this last Friday after I took illya to the vets (boosters). Admittedly she wasn’t wearing a tutu or tights but the body language wasn’t far off… I took a couple of progress shots over the weekend for your viewing pleasure (yes my studio is a mess).
Have a lovely day!
A glimpse at a couple of paintings I’ve been working on this year…
They’re close to being finished and this is because I’m avoiding my real mission, which is to paint one twice the size… The A1 card arrived last month and 2 sheets are sat there covered in scribbles waiting for paint. Avoiding painting by painting… sigh…
I finally finished her! She got put to one side for months because I was having a colour scheme crisis but with a bit of perseverance yesterday and some forced finishing touches, she’s here. I’m calling her Agnes. My mum referred to her as a “powerful woman” and she is and hopefully will be one of many.
Just a quick reminder!
This Saturday (24th November, tomorrow!) is the PRETTY DANDY FLEA!
Congregational Church, Castle gate (opposite Weavers, near M & S), NG1 7AS.
From 10:30 – 6:00! Treats for your house, belly and ears! Come along!
I’ve just packed my bag full of prints, cards, paintings, mittens and a handful of festive beauties :)
Hello there!
It’s been one of those weekends where I seem to be covering myself and anything within a metre radius in paint – sometimes intentionally but more often that not… accidentally. I’ve started working on some new stuff and things for the up and coming festive season and now is as good a time as any to announce some lovely fair’s I’m participating in!
First up! I’ve been invited to share my colourful creations at the next PRETTY DANDY FLEA! Come along on Saturday 24th of November to the Congregational Church – slap bang in the middle of Nottingham (opposite Weavers). Feast your eyes on the delights Becky’s been rounding up and don’t forget to feast on the cake while you’re there.
Next up we have the loveliness that is Nottingham Contemporary’s Craft Market – taking place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of December! Another perfect excuse to come along and fill your belly with treats and your pockets with festive treasure. Here’s a peek at the flyer and list of fellow creatives taking part! So much to look forward to!
Right, for now I think have caused/created enough paint related chaos to last a lifetime…
here’s a sneak peek…
First painting I finished since moving into my new art space. Probably the biggest picture I’ve done too (A2)! I think she’s a good omen. I’ll have her with me at the Southwell open studios, all framed and looking smart. Come say hello!
