Under the Oak designs

It's always nice to make a sale, or two as is the case this week, which is an absolutely fantastic feeling - especially after a small hiatus .  Firstly, one of the affordable art prints sold in Rebel Vintage, closely followed by a little original hand painted print in Walkmill @no7.  I have replaced both but annoyingly I keep forgetting to take photos (or scans) of the originals before I send them off.  Helen has very kindly sent me a photo of 'Summer' in situ.  This is the new little hand painted print that she now has in stock. Summer 1/1 HPP - £18 Sadly I don't think I have a photo of the previous one that sold to share with you.  They are both a linocut print that has then been hand painted in watercolours before being mounted and then framed in these gorgeous dinky black wood frames.   This was my second carving of our spring trip and I really enjoyed being able to carve whilst on the road.  I only packed a cheap black relief printing ink though which only really a

  Navy Jug 2/20 - Mounted - A digital print of an original acrylic painting - £12.50 I absolutely love playing with new mediums and trying out new techniques but these things cost money.  I do try very hard to be self sufficient in my art practise and on the whole I don't do too badly, but I do need to sell some products in order to fund my habit.   To that end I have taken a few pieces of very affordable art into another fabulous shop in Knighton, called Rebel Vintage .  As you can imagine with the shop name, they do sell a plethora of wonderful pre-loved items alongside some new pieces.  The  lovely Claire has taken 4 framed  and 2 mounted prints to sell for me.  I'm so excited to be selling somewhere new (to me), fingers crossed that they're well received.   Please take the time to have a look at Rebel Vintage , I've linked to their facebook page to help you find them easily.  In the meantime this post contains images of all the art you can find there.

Whale-Sing Matilda - SOLD Heading to Walkmill @N0.7 this week we have 'Whale-Sing Matilda'  Perhaps I need to apologise for the title I've given it, who knows lol. I absolutely love this picture.  It's the result of a little bit of digital artistry by myself.  The background is a scanned in copy of a watercolour I painted in 2022 which I never finished - as in I never painted anything in the foreground, quite typical of me I'm afraid. The gorgeous blue whales are digital copies of a linocut I carved whilst on our travels this spring and which I'm struggling to frame the originals of at the moment.  However, the second I combined these digitally I knew I was onto a winner. Limited to an edition of 20, the print itself has been hand embellished to accentuate the golds and silvers.  N o 2/20 has been mounted in a simple black frame and will be available in town from Thursday.  With my digital prints I do print them one at a time nowadays but never go over the or
