Rock/Umbrella

no images were found

The image on my left is entitled ‘The Angels Umbrella’ it is not very clear because it was too big for my scanner, it is acrylic on canvas. It may also be in the upcoming exhibition for december. I also have another art piece called the ‘Angel on the Rock’ for the exhibition.

This coming week is going to be full of adventure. I have a meeting with a lady called Roz who owns a cafe on Sauchiehall street called IFULL coffee. I will hopefully be hanging some of my work there for sale. (Will confirm how it goes), she has also offered me the opportunity to do art workshops. So I have some ideas for that already.

Thursday I intend to visit the Line Gallery (I will expand on this later)

In between are other little bits and bobs still to finalise.

Have a bonny day.

Exhibitions

The sketch for this month has been missed unfortunately, due to a busy scheduel. But I should be back on form soon, once I get my current deadlines out of the way.

no images were found

It has been a while since I have posted any art work. To my left is one of the coloured work I have been doing recently in acrylic. I intend to take better pictures for posting later.

This little character is called ‘The Postbox Angel’, she isn’t finished yet, but this is a wee preview. She is part of a group of paintings I am doing for a December exhibition at the Line Gallery in Linlithgow, Scotland, The exhibition is called ‘The waiting Angel’ and it is from November 28th to December 24th.

I am hoping to have something for the November exhibition, it is called ‘Objects of Desire’, November 7th to November 24th.

Colour Work


I have decided that for the next couple of months I will focus on coloured work.  Alot of people have mentioned it, and though I do work in colour. I am making it an aim to do more. I am using watercolour at the moment.

The first image to the left is of ‘Empress Benaiah and the Upside down World’ The sea creatures live in the air and the land creatures in the sea. I made it up, lets see where it goes.

The other image is of ‘Empress Maki and Koshi the giant Snail’ In this scene Empress Maki is giving Koshi a gift.

I will update with more work as I go along.

Sketch of the Month

This is my first ever sketch of a comic on my site. It is called ‘Detective Clueso and the Mystery of the Litter-Bug’. I did this a while ago, when I rediscovered it in my boxes of artwork it still made me giggle.

I am thinking I will do another at the start of next month. So stay tuned. It will keep me producing new work, at least that is my aim.

I still have some new images to add in the gallery, it will all happen at some point.

On saturday the 29th August, I was part of the ‘Art Market’ on Byres Road at Hillhead Library. It was a good experience. Being my first time there I met alot of friendly people.

I would like to do it again definately. I will let you know when I am there next.

Have a great day.

Art News

The_Lonely_Heart_EmpressHi everyone, to my left is one of the many items I sold on the 15th of August at the craft fair in Langside Hall southside Glasgow. It is always a joy to see someone appreciate your work. Thank you very much to all those who did buy from me.

It was my second attendance and though it rained, people still turned up. It was busier than my first fair in June 2009, and was wonderful to get all the feedback I got. The other craft members were a friendly bunch indeed. I am glad I was a part of it.

I will be part of the Art Market in the Westend of Glasgow on the 29th of August. It is situated on Byres road at the Hillhead library. It begins at 12 noon till 4.30 pm. All are welcome.  It is short notice but it is on the last Saturday of every month I am told (will verify). There will be other artists present and should be a fun day.

Abstracts

Today I visited a friend of mine. We talked about some inspirational stuff that can enhance both of our approaches to the art that we do. Also she gave me info on a local art fair I would like to get involved in, more of that later. Below are some of my abstract paintings of acrylic on paper. They are not recent work, but I have been getting some more ideas looking at them. They were fun to do. I did over sixty of them in a manic of inspiration. I will hopefully show most of them in my gallery under ‘Abstracts’ soon.Beat-38-40Beat-32-40Beat-59-60
