Southside Street SOLD
This Painting is my latest work and is of a street in the Barbican in Plymouth. I used Photos and imagination where the characters are concerned. I really did see the camper van and Postal van and the buildings are real although from oposite sides of one street. It is painted in Oils and available on Ebay this week . Just Sold last weeks work which is encouraging as it went to someone who has purchased from me before. Its always good to have regular customers.
This week I have used my new sketch book at home and tryed out some watercolour pencils,which looked fab in W.H Smiths! They are however quite tricky to use. I found I had to layer my work drawing, then wetting, then more drawing. The colours aren't as vibrant as I would have liked ,but I will use them again. I drew a baboon, which is random I know, but I can't help what inspires me.
Also this week , I saw some work a friend did with lino cutting. He sings in a band and had incorperated the name of the band into a great design which he will use to make prints. I might have a go with that as I love exploring new materials.
On Thursday this week I shall go to the art group I meet with once a month where my friend has suggested a communal piece with a swimming theme. Intriguing! Not sure what that will be about but will share with you when I 've been.
Of course I have been busy socially. We have had dinner out with old friends ,dinner out with neigbours and a New years eve street party. All these things impact on my Art out put. You can not paint when you are hung over now can you? I need some normality in my life to work. Another Party has sprung up for this Saturday however, so that will cut down any painting time.
Another passion of mine is running. I do this with my Husband ,well behind him actually as he' a lot faster that me. We go 3 times a week and I do see some things while out that I put in my paintings.
You can see that I am quite a busy person but I will aim to keep the work coming.
