Working on Some New Ideas

First of all, Happy New Year 2020.

After  a double dose of winter cough and cold, I’m finally back in my studio. It’s actually lovely to be back in my space 🙂 I am now working through some new ideas, getting back into the swing of things but still trying to clear away my hang ups. I hope you like my new year thoughts, I’ll keep you posted!

Building Work Finished

Here are the last pics of the building work, joining my two studios into one large studio. Thankfully the building work is finished now and I’ve nearly sorted everything out. There has had to be some clearing out and there’s still some bags of stuff to go. I’m so pleased with it. Now I’ve got to get back to work and avoid artists block 🙂

Studio work

This is exciting! I’m having my workspace made bigger by having the two existing buildings joined together to make one large studio. No more backwards and forwards to get things I need especially in the rain, can’t wait. They’ll be a lot of sorting out to be done after but it will be worth it! 🙂

Summer Exhibition 2019

I really enjoyed curating my work for my summer exhibition at my studio and seeing it hung on the wall. Thanks to those who came and supported me it was great to see you 🙂 Below are some photos I took of my work over the weekend.

Growth II

New Technique

My Exhibition is over and taken down now, so it’s an Ideal time to develop a new technique. As an artist, new techniques are not often planned, they tend to just happen with experimentation, so just start painting and go with it!

These are works in progress.

This piece has had a healthy coating of homemade Gesso (over an old piece of work I didn’t want anymore) and then I just started applying paint. You can just see that the Gesso has started cracking where it was applied thick and which I think will add something to the finished piece.

This large canvas has been primed with Gesso and then I’ve applied a base colour before beginning to work the painting

This is the picture shown at the top on this page which has be worked into further.

So watch this space for progress! 🙂

Greetings Cards

I’ve been enjoying this weeks card making before the last Fakenham Makers Market before the summer break. All made with original art, as you know, I do like hands on messy stuff! 

Intuitive Painting Workshop

As my regular followers know, I’ve been doing some intuitive panting workshops for relaxation and mindfulness. These are to give an opportunity to escape the rat race of life and focus on the pleasures of intuitive painting. Here are some photos of the latest workshop to show what’s been done.  My next workshop is on Saturday 10th November 10 am – 12 noon.
