It’s coffee time! (well, actually it’s almost tea time, but that’s splitting hairs!). Not wanting to be idle, I thought I’d drop in and say hello.
I’ve been tucked up in the studio all day with only my dog, two cats and some music for company. But it’s been cosy, and I have cracked along with some new work.
Do you want to see? Really? It’s not nearly finished yet, but since it’s you, I think I can afford a little peek. You’ll have to guess what it’s going to be. Lollipops for the right, closest or most original answer!
OK, here you go!

 

Hmmm, now what is going on here? If you come back at the weekend you’ll maybe find out!

There’s a lot to be getting on with here at the studio, a couple of great new galleries are interested in my work and of course the art fair at The Sage in Gateshead is looming. It’s all jolly exciting stuff. As always a million paintings are dashing about in my head, they’ve just heard I’ve ordered a huge box of new canvases, so they are forming an orderly queue to be the next one onto canvas!
So, what else has this little artist been up to, well, I spent 3 days last week helping out at the Mick Oxley Gallery in Craster, while Mick had a few days holiday. I had so much fun, it was great to get out and talk and laugh with all sorts of interesting people, it almost made me want to own a gallery…almost!
I afforded myself a day off on Sunday and actually fell asleep on the sofa… unheard of!
The rest of this week has been spent trying to catch up with the painting, as more work needs to be away this weekend, the results are…well, like I say, you’ll get to see soon!
So, on that note, I have finished my bucket of Nescafe, so I’ll head back to the easel until my poor overworked husband troops in from work (he’s promised to go and get a takeaway!).
Keep checking back though folks, it’s all happening right here!
See you again soon,
Mxxx
