Whales Ahoy

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. No 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 original limit set.  If you're interested in this print at all please drop me a line.

Thanks for reading

Putting it out there

Plasencia Dreams 1&2 So, scarily, I have today placed a couple of nicely framed originals for sale in my local fine art gallery (as seen above). I let the proprietor set the price and so this experience is a new one for me.  I'm viewing the whole thing as an experiment that I'm going to try to enjoy and learn from. I thoroughly enjoyed crafting these hand modified prints (HMP). They started life as a print of a watercolour I painted during our Autumn 2021 trip.  Early in the trip we'd stayed just outside Plasencia towards the bottom end of the Jerta valley.  A lovely cycle path ran from our campsite to the Presa del Embalse where my sister-in-law and I had spent a lovely afternoon wandering around and swimming in the lake.  Later in the trip, when we were parked up and chilling just outside Isla Cristina for a few days, I'd grab my paints each afternoon as the temperature rose, and slowly but surely I painted one of my favourite scenes.

Hello and welcome

A glimpse into my studio -  Hello there! It's taken me a while but I've finally started work on my online presence to accompany my creative journey.  To be honest this post is pretty much a place holder whilst I work on constructing the galleries and links to my online shop.  For a while it will remain the top blog post and I'll update it as I go along. Hopefully when all the construction work is completed the blog posts will be used to reflect where I'm at creatively and share some of my experiences. I have started work on my online shop (hosted by Sum-Up)  Eventually you'll find pages for cards, limited editions, originals and a full gallery listed at the top of my Home page.  These will detail the art work that is available and will provide a link to that item in the shop. If you'd like to just go straight to the shop then please follow this link here . I've no idea how many folk I'm likely to reach but hopefully it will be fun finding out, and please
