Where's the sun?

And where did this month go?

Studio three has been busy with lots of interest.

We're in the paper again this month, promoting Liz Kearsley's exhibition.

I sent off to 2 publishers this month, but although decisions have been made regarding my work in progress counting book, I still haven't DONE ANY OF IT!!

I have spent nearly a week doing my accounts. After the break in at the Yard, my accounts disappeared with my old laptop. I'm so relieved to get them finished. I am now teaching piano again to earn extra income.

A major catastrophie this week.....A large canvas leapt off the wall and crushed an acrylic print. This is the first time anything has been damaged at the gallery. Even my burglars were careful with the art.
I sold from my etsy site again, and to the US as usual. I have looked into including paypal on my own web page, so soon hope to be selling to the UK too.

Progress is being made at home with my new studio workspace. The floor is down and the window in, now we need some stairs.

My exhibition continues at Magnolia Studios, Northampton. The Vietnamese landscapes have a whole room to themselves.

July 1 Celebration

Its July!!!!My birthday month Yippee!!!!

The new book is almost finished, just some refining touches to take care of. I'm on the verge of sending out to another 2 publishers, but it seems to have taken me an age to print out my dummy books, and I have now run out of card!!
So Wellingborough Open judges rejected me, I've been to see the artwork that made it onto the wall, and cannot recall seeing any collage anywhere. Its obviously not their bag.
I do have some work on display at Chichele however. A couple of black and white pieces from my trip to New York. There would have been some at Piddington Church too, but I just couldn't deliver it in time!!
It feels such a long time since I produced any new artwork. Its all been photoshop work lately. I can't wait to get my hands sticky with glue again!
I sold a piece at the Oxfam Charity Auction at Waterstones in Nottingham, so was delighted about that. It was the sunset at Ha Long bay, a limited edition print which has sold 5 times now.
Studio three has been much busier lately, especially after a recent promotion at the local school fete. We have some new artwork in from Helen D Moore, who trained originally as a silversmith, but now works in print (etchings to be specific). I have some of her animal prints and they are completely GORGEOUS.
Another regular artist popped in today, flashing her new photographs of water lillies and seagulls. The water lillies will look stunning on a canvas.
Meanwhile,the Liz Kearsley exhibition is still running, with photographs from Australia, Ghana, Canary Islands, Gibralter, The Carribean, Holland, and Singapore.
My Vietnamese limited edition prints are now on display at Magnolia Studios, Billing Road, Northampton and will be there until the end of August.
