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.
