Blog Update

Suddenly there is a lot to do on the painting front as I will be exhibiting 3 paintings at the ELMESTHORPE ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBITION 2010, venue: Village Hall and St Mary's Church, Elmesthorpe, date and time: Sat 12 June, 11-5 and Sunday 13 June, 11-4. Come along if you can as there will be many varied styles of art, including pottery, paintings, needlework etc to view with the chance to purchase. Artwork is a great original gift-there are never two items the same when handmade!
Anyway that's my advertising out of the way!!
I have been very busy this month as I have acquired an allotment which has needed a lot of work to get it into shape for late planting, have had lots of help, particularly from my father who has both brains and talent in the garden! Thanks Dad.
Bert has been busy too with the manual work...digging!
I have done my share with digging, planting and 'landscaping'!!
I am pleased to say I have just completed one commission for 'Freddie Mercury' and I have another 3 potential commissions in the pipeline.
Don't forget to leave your comments if you view this site as it's good to get feedback on my artwork.
Thanks for looking.

Blog update

Just been reading through my old posts as it's been a while since I added anything to the blog until recently as my artwork came to a standstill for quite some time, but I am getting back on track with it now and have decided to give the 'pop art' a go. It has mainly been a success so far but still practising with different acrylics and canvases. It's nice to try different painting styles.
It's also great to get positive feedback so don't forget to leave your comments on the page.

Looking back at the blog it was interesting to read the list of things I wanted to do; I tried the horseriding and decided that hobby is for the brave...and the young!! My horse decided to bolt when it heard two others fighting and gave me quite a scare! That was the first and last horseriding lesson for me! The drumming lesson was great but I din't pursue that either! I did apply to Uni and got to the selection day but pulled out as I decided it wasn't for me.
Real good news is that my gorgeous baby grandson, Jack, was born on 22 January this year and I am really enjoying spending time with him.

As for the art: I am hoping to get a selection of 'pop art' pieces together and showing them at an exhibition if possible later in the summer.....lot's of work is needed first though to build my collection and sort out a venue etc. It's not something I have attemped solo before so here's hoping I chase that particular dream!!

Watch out for new post's and please leave your feedback.

EXHIBITION 28 JUNE 2008 and Blog update!!

We had a steady stream of visitors and some nice feedback. It seemed to be mainly other artists who wanted to chat and exchange ideas etc which was nice. I don't think it helped however that the wrong address for the venue was printed in the local ad mag!!

I did feel a little embarressed about putting 'myself' (as it were) on show! My artwork is a hobby and is still relatively, in my eyes, unpolished. I am finding I really like sketching and drawing these days so hope to concentrate more on this aspect of my art. I have been approached to draw a portrait so am considering this! Watch out for new drawings soon to be posted and please leave any feedback, it is always nice to hear your comments.

I have a few other hobbies in the pipeline and made a tentative start this week with both, one by accident: horseriding! I met a lovely couple whilst out cycling who run a horse sanctuary who let me sit on their beautiful Suffolk Punch; a rare breed and absolutely huge! It was the first time I had sat on a horse and what a magnificent creature he is! He was led around and I had my first ride! The second thing I want to do is learn to play drums and my son, Kevin, had bought me a 'drum lesson' voucher for Mother's Day which I used yesterday, it was absolutely fantastic and I am hoping to make time to continue with lessons in the Autumn!

On a more serious note I have been thinking long and hard about returning to college soon and really fancy furthering my education/career, so I am busy researching my options at the moment!

Anyway there are lots of things in the pipeline but I still want to concentrate on my art - at least I have plenty of food for thought!!

Watch out for more updates coming soon and please feel free to e.mail me or leave a comment.

Muscle!

Just for a bit of fun whilst my pencils were out-thought I would have a go at sketching a 'body'....hence Mr Muscle!

Lakeside (in graphite)

The first 'Lakeside' was a sketch created using graphite and watercolour pencils, this one is purely sketched using graphite.

Pink Rose

After a successful attempt at sketching in graphite I decided to have a go using watercolour pencils and 'Pink Rose' is the result! A softer image but still quite effective. Which one do you like best....let me have your comments!
