At a social event over the weekend I bumped into a married couple who are friends of mine and who I’ve not seen for about a year. We kissed and hugged in greeting and after catching up with each others news the guy sat down next to me to ask how my artwork is going. He always asks this when I […]
My Christmas was good, as good as I’d hoped for. Quiet on the day itself, which is what my man and I had wanted as it was our first proper Christmas together. But after that, we had various visitors, including my new muse and her husband. I always enjoy their company, as much as they […]
After the last blog post I’ve had a few further discussions with my friend regarding my art and the expectations some people have of what I do. His reply is that he is interested in my vision rather than my interpretation of some body elses. He loves my art but doesn’t wish to guide me […]
I could have spent the weekend drawing, or painting or doing something productive. Well, actually, I thought I was doing something productive since I was helping to steward a local art exhibition that I was exhibiting at. And it rained… No, to be more precise, it pissed it down. So for the two and a […]
People often ask me how long I’ve been an artist and are usually surprised when I say “Always”. I think they expect I’ll say “Oh, only the last year or so”. But I was born an artist. We all are. We all want to paint as very young children – brightly colourful drawings of houses, […]
Having spent the last two weekends gallery sitting I’ve had time to sit and surreptitiously watch the viewing public in an art gallery setting, and what surprised me most was how short a time people spend actually looking at art. Some people were taking two to four SECONDS to look at each painting! Now, I […]
I’m always busy with art, but never too busy that the prospect of a new commission doesn’t excite me greatly. Last weekend I was gallery sitting for one of the many exhibitions I’m part of over August and was delighted that a woman expressed interest in the two tango paintings I had got there, amongst […]
………”The Arts Festival thanks you for your submissions to the Open Art Competition and Exhibition and is delighted to exhibit your work”…… such sexy words – along with “Hi Jackie, we’re interested in a painting of yours that we’ve seen recently and wondered if we could come and see it again?” – Oh yes!!! Course […]
I spent all morning yesterday sorting out three paintings to enter into a local art competition. The pictures were already painted and framed, I just had to sort out the details for the stipulations for entering them in the competition – on the back of the painting had to be the name of artist (I […]
The recent comments by Honoranddesire and Hornmaleuk have made me consider what people suspect happens between an artist and a model during an art session, especially when its an erotic art session. Its always the thought and question, underneath the surface isn’t it? What happens when you’re drawing a naked person, and you fancy them? […]
After the great success of the drawing session with hornymaleuk the other week, he’s requested a repeat performance with me. I’m touched and delighted that he wants to meet again. I thoroughly enjoyed our previous time together, and the experience of drawing him, complete with the restrictions of not revealing his public face (and body!). […]
I’ve had some very candid and interesting conversations recently with a variety of individuals that has led on to me thinking about the different lifestyles that people have. The majority of the populace seem to live ordinary lives, doing the usual vanilla things that make up their world, and consider that any pictures concerning people […]
