Yesterday the guy who commissioned me to paint ‘Wooster’ came to collect it. He brought with him a friend of mine, who is also a friend of his, its through her that he knows of me. I greeted them when they arrived and we had cups of tea in the kitchen as we discussed various […]
This week I sold a watercolour of mine… called ‘Refreshing greens’ …it was a painting I painted last year and loved the peaceful and calm aspect of it, with the stream and small foot bridge over it, the ford, and country lane disappearing off into the distance.. showing the best of early spring in English […]
I’ve sold a lot of artwork over the years, to various people all over the UK and some to other countries including Europe, and America. All my paintings have had a lot of hard work put into them, all of them are part of me. Some are instantly memorable, some I have to think about […]
As an artist I know its important to get my name out so people find me. Where ever *out* is! This last week I’ve been photographing, and sorting through, and making decisions on, some artwork that I’ve done in the past as well as new stuff. As well as having discussions with someone who wants a […]
I’ve just realised it’s over a week since I last did a blog post! The reason I haven’t done one recently is due to working to get artwork ready to sell online. Its never just a case of putting a painting on-line of course…. Because first it has to be painted to my exacting standards. Then […]
Its always nice to make other people happy and one of my favourite ways happened yesterday. Yeh, yesterday was a good day for that indeed. The first was the guy in Scotland who wanted the painting done of himself that I showed you in the last blog post who contacted me via Facebook to say […]
Yesterday whilst having a cup of tea with my ex- husband he showed me a painting that his soon to be new wife had purchased, and asked me what I thought of it. I recognised it instantly as a place I’d been too in Venice and admired it for its simplistic form, and massive frame. […]
Someone told me a few years ago that if you’re digging a hole for yourself, then stop the digging. But, others advise that if you want something then you have to dedicate yourself totally to it, one hundred percent, and focus on it, and keep going after it, because if you don’t follow your dream, then […]
I know I want to do a blog post on the 12.12.12 but not sure exactly what I’m going to say til I write it. But here goes….. Mm… my thoughts…. I’m in a bit of a lull and not sure exactly what I want at the moment. I always try to be positive and upbeat, […]
I’m in the business of giving pleasure. Sensual and uplifting pleasures….. But, it is a business at the end of the day, and at the end of the working month I need to know what I’ve earnt and how I can pay my bills in exactly the same way as the butcher, the baker and the […]
It might have been a miserably cold, grey day, but the positive feedback I’ve had at the exhibition has kept me warmed through! I knew there would be a lot of artwork there, there always is. And probably more there this year than in past so I knew that there would be a lot of […]
Full of hope, as is the way of my world, that some of my most beloved and cherished items are leaving me. To move on to pastures new, well, walls really, old and new. That the paintings I have chosen for the exhibition are delighted over, get emotionally entwined with,and purchased by, those who fall in […]
I had a very pleasant visit to the area of Eton and Windsor over the weekend, staying with two good friends of mine, and on Sunday morning made a visit to the main interest. That castle, the one that overlooks the surrounding countryside so solidly and stands so majestically and beautifully. It’s been a great number […]
