Back from the framers


Pictured are six of my small paintings all newly framed ready to be transported to Yorkshire - along with a similar number coming from colleagues at Art Space (hope to post pics of their work on the Art Space blog soon) for exhibition at the Clare White Gallery, Elsecar Heritage Centre, Barnsley from 12 June - 31 July 2009.
Just need to get them labelled, measured and wrapped and they're ready to go!
We have had the most glorious day here in St Ives, the colours of the sand and sea just amazing. Steve McIntosh's St Ives blog entry includes a short video of a very peaceful view of St Ives bay yesterday evening, click here to see it.
The sun's starting to set now but it's still lovely - could be fine weather for the bank holiday weekend!

  4. hi Lesley~!!~

    was just getting ready to post on my blog and noticed your comment. so happy to see new visitors, especially when they have such kind words about my photography~!~

    anyway, i thought i would pop over here to see what wonderful inspiration you had to offer and i am so glad that i did~!!!~ what a beautiful blog and these freshly framed paintings are wonderful~!!~i think one of the very best things about blogworld is that i can meet such talanted artists such as yourself and enjoy work that i would otherwise never get to see~!!~as an artist who lives in an extremely isolated area with not much to offer when it comes to the arts, this is an amazing thing for me~!!~

    so, i will go back to finishing my post and hope to come and visit you again very soon. feel free to do the same~!

    :)

  8. Hello, your framed works look wonderful!
    Would love to see your paintings in the flesh. I live in North Yorkshire so I'm going to look on the map to see where the gallery is.

Summer, such a hectic, busy time here in St Ives, no complaints though, there's been enough sunshine to keep everyone happy!
On the personal news front: All six of the artworks painted with submission to the annual ING Discerning Eye Exhibition in mind are now at the framer's.  There's still time to enter, click the link to find out more.

The Rotary Club of St Ives popular fundraising exhibition of donated postcard sized art is a high point of the annual St Ives September Festival and my contribution is already in the hands of the organisers.

The ever popular Square Deal Show at St Ives Society of Artists Mariners Gallery is another unmissable September Festival event.  I have my blank canvas, it's unwrapped and a start on it will be made very soon - just need to think about what to paint!
