'Wave after Wave' 12 x 24 inches, acrylic/oil on canvas
'Summer Night, St Ives' 12 x 24 inches, acrylic/oil on canvas. SOLD
I have been busy and have now opened an Etsy shop for my prints, later (much, much later) there will also be some small originals on board for sale. Audrey, who's based in Canada, has kindly featured Sea Blue Sky Abstracts on her blog - click the button on the side panel or the heading of this post to see more of what she does.
I have a sort of tick to do list - 1.blog, 2.Etsy shop, 3.personal website. Plus, there's also Folksy to consider! Life is never dull - it's a little too busy actually, there are many jobs that never get done!
I'm having fun working on two canvases for the next Art Space window theme - Collage. Bizaare, who's going to buy them? These are two pieces that might end up staying with me forever. I have the titles already - 'Floral' Feel Amazing' taken from a clothing label included in the artwork - we all want to 'feel amazing' right? And 'Floral Pedestal' because of the way that particular composition is evolving.
The accompanying images are two of my paintings on the 'Artists Palette' window theme, which continues at Art Space Gallery until 12 July 2009.
I love your painting!! The top one is amazing. Thanks so much for adding one of my buttons to your blog.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably lovely. . . .x
ReplyDeleteSooooo calming and serene. I can almost imagine myself sitting there -- on the coast - in St. Ives. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments Cathy, Cathie and Audrey! Hope the sun is shining where you are - we've had some rain this evening, which is good for the gardens. BFN. Lesley

Your work is beautiful. That is exciting about an etsy store I wish you luck with it. And look forward to seeing your small originals.
ReplyDeleteHi Lily, my intentions are good, but just when those small originals get done is another story. Getting the boards cut is key - that way they'll be on hand, begging to be painted. Thanks for your lovely comment. Lesley
ReplyDeleteOOO beautiful work as ever! And Etsy store looks fabulous! x:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mimilove - I'm still learning as regards Etsy but am relieved to see that the image 'that wasn't loading' has now returned. Must check the banner, because that was missing too! Bye for now. Lesley
ReplyDeleteOooooh thanks for your comment on my blog Lesley. I am lovin your blog your paintings are beautiful, Love Helen x
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen, I love what you do - the range and diversity from handmade to vintage. BFN. Lesley
ReplyDeleteThese canvases are lovely! I must get to see some of your work in the flesh at one of the galleries you are in at St Ives. Jane xx
ReplyDeleteHello Lesley - Thanks for your comment on my "Nature's Wonder" blog post. I still hold those images of the sky vividly in my mind. I'm so glad I posted the photographs because I can look at them again and again and I am transported back to that plane journey. Your painting 'Wave after Wave' reminds me of those images in the sky actually! When travelling and witnessing the changing amazing sky - if I didn't KNOW I was on a plane - I could have been deceived into thinking I was on the ground and some of the clouds were a beach somewhere, with the sky above. Just amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour background pattern reminds me of some rubber stamping I have been working on today for my cardmaking! Will post about the success or otherwise of our visit to Invercottage - very much looking forward to it either way! BB
Thanks Jane and BB, have a great week! Lesley x

Hi Libby and thanks for visiting and also your lovely remarks. Hope everything is working out fine for you and your daughter. Will keep in touch, Lesley
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work....I've been staring at it for a while before posting this!
ReplyDeleteHi lesley,
ReplyDeleteVery new to the blog thing, when I see you walking with your dog and we say hello I will
tell you I am a blogger from down the road!
Love your site and always enjoyed seeing your work. Take care from Carol.
Thanks Carol, am following your blog now, so will be able to keep up to date with all your news. BFN. Lesley
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of these paintings. That sand....the perfect shade of grey/pink. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSue, for the theme 'Artists Palette' we each used only Prussian Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow and white. I think we all enjoyed the challenge and the results were quite diverse (see the Art Space blog). Thanks for visiting. BFN. Lesley
ReplyDeleteHi Lesley,
ReplyDeleteThank you for swinging by and leaving your lovely comments...I appreciated it so much!
Your paintings are incredibly *BEAUTIFUL*!!! I am a beach girl at heart and your gorgeous pieces just take me there. Your work is stunning!
Congratulations on your Etsy shop and I'm thrilled to hear that you'll be doing some small originals one day!
I'm looking forward to seeing the floral pieces that you are working on too.
The birthday party photos are wonderful! It sounded like a fun and delightful party. It's is always nice to get together with dear friends. Glad you had a lovely time!
Will be back to visit soon...~Lisa ;-)
Lisa, thanks so much for your lovely comments - the floral pictures will be posted soon but they are rather strange - I loved doing them though! Best wishes. Lesley
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see real paintings! Your work is beautiful and captures all that I love about the sea especially that shade of turquoise : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I'm a big fan of yours already.

I just love your seascapes - I really miss living by the sea & walking on the beach. Thanks for popping by my blog - I'm about a third through the leaves on the plant now & still enjoying it...
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline, thanks for visiting. So glad you're enjoying your latest potato illustration. Best wishes. Lesley
