Blanks

..following on from the last post... I have had to move some of my paintings and so have had some blank walls. It is the weirdest thing having empty walls. It has really unsettled me. As a visual person my surroundings really affect me and so these blank walls remind me I need artwork on walls in my life! What do you think?

Your art collection....what it says about you...

Not only does the art you have on the walls of your home make your home nicer it also expresses your personality and interests. The Affordable Art Fair conducted a survey  of 2000 people and found that one-third of them believed there was no better way to express their personality and to enhance the mood of a room. Being surrounded by art that expresses your personal tastes makes your dwelling into a home, sanctuary and a place you enjoy being. Here's to all the art that makes us happy!

Water reflections obsession

I have been completely obsessed with water reflections for my last sets of paintings. The constant changes of pattern, light and colour keep me absorbed. I will share here some of the images I have taken in relation to this. I hope you enjoy them also.

Many stages and battles to finish a painting...

As I was looking at some past photos I realised that I had taken some that show the progress of one of my recently sold paintings. I thought you might find it interesting to see the changes. This painting I battled with for a year and a half... but won in the end! It was inspired by water reflections.


 note here....total frustration so a big load of paint into the middle!
 ...then finally to this outcome...phew!
never give up, never give up, never give up!
