News and snaps from my studio. Sometimes I write about new pieces that I’m working on that are not released yet. If I think of a tip or piece of advice that will help you look after your painting I’ll often share it here. If there’s something specific you want to find, there is a search box down below.
Two Hares’ Racing and Chasing
My unique painting of two Mad March hares had an outing at the weekend, at Melbourne Festival.
They attracted a lot of stares! This painting is now for sale on my website - international shipping!
This piece is 50 x 50 cm and is now sold. Please contact me if you would like to commission your own hare painting on canvas. Hares are one of my favourite animals, perfect as a painting subject with their shabby-elegant looks and beautiful faces.
I like to create atmospheric textures and this piece is a good example of this. The background is made up of four or five layers and dry brushwork in several colours to give this wild and blustery effect.
The Ashby Poppy Trail is on this month! 100 original paintings by local artists are on display in the shop windows throughout the town. You can visit and follow the trail (download and print the leaflet from this blog post , or pick one up in the shops) and see all of the lovely pieces of artwork, until 2oth November.
You can also bid on your favourite paintings as there is a blind auction ( you fill in the back of the leaflet with your favourite piece and the amount of your bid -minimun £5 so you could really get a bargain . All funds are going to the Royal British Legion for Remembrance Sunday.
This is the piece I painted for the Poppy Trail, in the window at Mutleys of Ashby
