abstract painting

I recently put one of my paintings outdoors to experiment with how it would fare against the elements and how I would feel about it in a new and more dishevelled state. I expected it to be battered and bruised, and at the very least soaked through after a couple of days of our great British summer (!) However, the oil paint is so far really doing its job – it seems pretty indestructible!  But at least I have got something out of the test, even it wasn’t what I originally set out to achieve - some great photos! Next time, an acrylic…

Busy preparing for Hebden Bridge Open Studios which take place from 1 to 3 July. I’m having a sale of all painting and photographic work from 2010 so come on down for bargains!

I’ll also be displaying lots of new photographic work available to order and will have plenty of art cards and photo books on hand too!

Today I’ve started filling out my Red Bubble shop – why not take a peek and see if you fancy buying any of my work as cards, prints, framed pictures, postcards – and etc!

I’ve been updating my Blipfolio today – lots of abstract photographs, paintings, nature shots and more!

I had a lovely surprise last week when somebody had been looking around the studios where I have a space, saw this experimental piece and asked if he could buy it! How fabulous – now looking forward to delivering it to him.

Wow my first morning in my first proper art studio – and my painting seemed to respond to the expanded environment. I’m stunned by this start – I have never painted anything remotely like this before! I’m really looking forward to LOTS more time there…
