Invitation to Swindon Open Studios 2019

Hello,

This weekend is the start of the Swindon Open Studios.

If you are in the Swindon area, please stop by.

I will be displaying paintings, prints, cards and work in progress.

I've also been busy this month with an art challenge initiated by Birgit Koopsen-Bernstein.

I will be displaying these examples as well.

Hope to see you then.

Bye for now.

A Visit to Swindon Museum and Art Gallery

Hello,

I went to visit the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery over the summer to see the art exhibition Connections: An Exhibition by group 7 . The museum's curator gave a talk about the work and about each artist and their inspiration for this exhibition. It was very interesting and I'm glad I went. I took some sneaky photos. If you can make it, its worth a visit. Unfortunately it closes this weekend. More details can be found on the museum's website

Bye for now.

My Summer...

Hello,

Over the summer I spent a few days in Cornwall, near Land's End with my husband and son. 

Here are some photos-

 It was bit overcast and cold that day, but I still enjoyed being by the water.

Too cold to go in though :-).

Here are some photos of the garden surrounding the house we stayed in. I loved all the textures and colours. They are great visual references.

This is where I sat to paint.

And here I am enjoying a cup of coffee.

 Here are mixed media paintings I did in my sketchbook.

 

Bye for now.
