Good morning to you! What a beautiful cheery sunny day today is, just nice for sitting with a glass of fizzy lemonade under the gazebo in the garden, but no, not me, it's all go here!
A new delivery of gesso and canvas arrived on Monday, and 20 new pristine surfaces are now ready for painting, they look very inviting. You'll have to wait a while for the next sneaky peek though!
The ladies are jostling for attention here now, some have been cheeky enough to bring along ice cream cornets and iced buns!!
The exhibition painting is going very well, paintings are all over the studio in various states of 'finishedness', some painted and finished, some awaiting varnish, some just under painted, some drawn out and one or two with bright pink sticky notes on to remind me of the idea I had. It looks very busy in here, and indeed it is. Just as a small reward I have bought myself a nice box of strawberry french fancies to have with my cuppa at 11 o'clock, that's if the ladies haven't got there first!!
On that note, I'll toddle along and join the merry throng,
nice to chat again,
Michelle,

» Listings for June 2009Posted on Wednesday Jun 24 0:00:00 BST 2009 Listed under: General Posted on Saturday Jun 13 0:00:00 BST 2009 Saturday, 13 June 2009New gallery.
Just dropping by to give you a heads up from the studio. You can now find my paintings in The Bakehouse Gallery in Alnwick. A sunny warm outlook always awaits in this gallery from Fiona and her staff and this is reflected in the high quality and diverse artwork, jewellery, glass and ceramics that you will find there. The Bakehouse will stock one or two of the terraced street paintings as of today and also some of the architectural acrylics (the only gallery to do so).
It's a beautiful sunny summers day here, so after a trip up to Alnwick, lunch with my mum :) and a look around Barter Books (one of Europe's largest second hand book stores, and just round the corner from the Bakehouse Gallery), I'll be back in the studio cracking on with the work for the exhibition. It's so exciting!!! Take care of yourself now, and come back soon! Michelle x. Posted on Wednesday Jun 3 0:00:00 BST 2009 Wednesday, 3 June 2009Coming soon...I'd like to introduce you to some new friends of mine. They may be a little direct, perhaps they like a bit of a gossip, they certainly have hearts of gold... who are they? The inhabitants of the terraced houses and streets I've been painting for the last two years.
Hot Gossip I've opened the door to a world of big, slightly saucy, gossipy girls, the kind who love their bingo, a good laugh and a cup of tea with cake, but mind out, cos they'll be after you if you cross them! We've all known someone like this, too! Working in acrylic on canvas, adding an extra bit of detail and a whole lot of enthusiasm, the new series will be launched at exhibition in September and online later this summer in their own gallery (can you imagine the riot they'd cause if they had to share!), a new online exhibition will follow. I hope you'll join me and the girls for a bit of a knees up! Michelle. x |
