New original paintings in oil

The first two paintings are as yet unframed, but will be soon, along the same lines as 'The Cappuccino Cup' (scroll down to view).
  
'February Storm Sea' has unsurprisingly been inspired by the spectacular weather experienced in this part of the world recently.  Worked on a reclaimed canvas - an abstract I rather liked - the painting is a mix of memories that (hopefully) convey some of the feeling created when witnessing raw nature.  

'Riverford Pears 2014' oil on canvas, 30 x 21 cm.  SOLD



'February Storm Sea' oil on deep edge canvas, 26 x 20 cm.

This painting will be raffled in December 2014 at St Ives Society of Artists.  Tickets (£1 each) are on sale now for this and other artworks contributed by members, with the first raffle taking place in July, 2014.


Here's one of the works I plan to submit to this year's Bath Society Open Exhibition 
which runs from 5th April - 31st May 2014.

  4. I just love those pears! They look really ripe and ready to eat. Gorgeous! And the seascape as well, of course. I imagine you are having some really stormy times down there - and cut off from the rest of the world too! Hope you are OK, and not flooded, blown away or fallen down!

    1. Thanks Gilly. It's official, we're no longer 'cut off', lol! The weather has certainly been wild though and the sea remains spectacularly rough. Have a good week. Lesley x

New paintings for August and some from July..

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!
Again, click links to access more info.  

Here's some new work - the following four paintings will appear at Art Space Gallery, St Ives very soon.
