We're on the road again

I'm currently still skipping from one medium to another and we're now back on the road again so inevitably I'll be wanting to pursue something I don't have the equipment for. I seem to have packed a small print studio so really that genre should be my focus - I don't appear to have quite got there yet 😃 I'm still tatting, as I call it.

The art above, as yet untitled, belongs to the tatting category. The original resides in one of my new handmade books. Like the book, it's not perfect but I am rather pleased with it.

I also finally decided upon a use for the smaller of the two books I made in my workshop. I'm using it as a little glimmers or gratitude book and will intersperse the writing with tidbits of art like the one below.

In other news, a recent printmaking course will hopefully be inspiring me on the intaglio and relief printing fronts - hence the packing choices.

One of the techniques explored did result in this lovely new range of cards which can be found for sale in The Flower Box, Knighton.

That's all from me for now, I hope tohave more art from on the road to post again soon. Take care out there lovelies.

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.

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. 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

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
