2022 – new year, same challenges

A new year brings fresh challenges but the same issues of finding the right balance between working to pay the bills and creating art work. However this year, I feel I may be able to find more time to create the art work needed for exhibition and sales. I hope the new owners of theContinue reading “2022 – new year, same challenges”

Happy Christmas

It’s been an extremely challenging year for us all so, like many others, I am taking a break until 2022; having said that I will probably pop into the studio midweek to escape and finish some work off! I have some plans forming for the New Year, although family health issues will take president overContinue reading “Happy Christmas”

Drawings & Giclee prints

Among paintings for sale at Clifton Road Gallery, I have mounted original drawings and Giclee prints available. The drawings have been taken directly from field sketch books and show my art process; mark making, composition, perspective, line, space and interplay between objects. Plan to make more drawings available for purchase in the near future. IContinue reading “Drawings & Giclee prints”

What’s next?

A chance to step back and take stock. Look at creating some new work for 2022. Uploading images of work for online sales. Make sure stock is updated and ready for potential Christmas sales at Clifton Road Gallery in Crafters Corner.

Refreshing exhibitions

Gallery & selling

The last thing I want is for this post to be really negative but I think it’s important to be truthful and honest with oneself, in order to move forward and plan positively for the future. Selling one’s artwork is difficult at the best of times but in the present climate, unless you already haveContinue reading “Gallery & selling”

New year, new challenges

Well we now start a new year, and face head-on new challenges and adventures. COVID-19 is still here and growing as I write, and UK is now no longer a member of the EU. The gallery and craft shop I sell through cannot open because of Tier 4 measures. So I now have to concentrateContinue reading “New year, new challenges”

Merry Xmas and hoping for a better 2021…

Whilst taking some time out, I acknowledge the hardships that people are going through at the moment, and not everyone is fortunate to enjoy a safe, relaxing or happy Xmas. Whatever you are doing, please stay safe. If you are working over Xmas, I have every respect for you. Think about picking up a phoneContinue reading “Merry Xmas and hoping for a better 2021…”
