Today

Today - my new blog is up and running, with images and text added. No painting as, to supplement earnings from selling pictures, I also work elsewhere. Mondays at St Ives Ceramics selling studio pottery, see http://www.st-ives-ceramics.co.uk/ including the works of pioneers Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, Lucie Rie and Hans Coper to contemporary potters working in Cornwall, all over the British Isles and overseas, from Spain to Australia and Japan.

Being a member of Art Space cooperative also includes a commitment to work 1 day a week in the gallery, on an 8 day rotation. Lastly, I work one day (on average) but more at the height of the season if needed, as a gallery assistant at Tate St Ives!

Plans for the future include tackling two commissions: one for a school friend who has spent all her working life in Wales. Beverley wants a view of the harbour in St Ives in summer = warmth. The second for a couple from Bristol who want to mark their wedding - in St Ives in September. This commission is for a non representational painting inspired by impressions of their visits to the town, often in winter when the sea is wild and fairly empty of visitors.

In this detail, the anaglypta, pink florist's cellophane and paint on canvas can be seen. Reddish/brown transparent glazing in the centre section and swirls of aqua opaque impasto on the right. 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...
