And breathe.....

And breathe again......  After such a long blog break (life was tooo busy) I'm hoping some followers continue to hang around?!

So grateful too for glorious September weather here in St Ives yesterday, a chance to paint, sunbathe and read in peace and quiet under an endless blue sky.  Bliss.

Saturday 12 September, 2015 sees the start of the annual St Ives September Festival - a jam packed two weeks of exciting and varied art, music and literature events, including St Ives Society of Artists annual Square Deal show - see below - not to be missed.




'Different Stories' a week long exhibition shared by yours truly, with Angela Garner and Susi Gutierrez closed on Friday 4 September.  Photos follow, the first is taken at the 'tail end' of the very busy preview.

This includes a piece of anaglypta from Carol Parsons painting class back in March, 2009? This particular piece of wallpaper has already been used to 'print paint to canvas'. Victoria Hilliard produces lovely ceramic pictures inspired by nature, including the portrayal of moths and butterflies. Would I have produced this collage if Tori were not a member of Art Space Gallery? Maybe not. Everything is 'grist to the visual mill' as far as artists are concerned. 'Floral - Pedestal' this painting just evolved. Fun, fun and more fun! 'Floral - Feel Amazing'. I love this artwork! My daughter's boyfriend bought her flowers, including old fashioned roses, which provided the inspiration for the flowers at the top of the painting and the cellophane wrapper is
