As well as one room of more recent works for sale, I will be selling all my pre-2016 works at vastly reduced prices.

It’s a decision I have made to “make room for the new”, so that I can focus on new paintings in the coming year. I am pleased with all of the older paintings on show, and know that they will make a good addition to people’s homes. The artist’s journey is just that, a journey. Artists are always moving forward and that’s what I intend to do.

You will be able to come along to the Virtual Gallery launch and get a first look at the discounted pictures by following this link no earlier than 7.20pm on Monday 17th February- Frame

I’m having an Open Studio on Sat 25th May 2024

I am very excited to be having an Open Studio on Saturday, 25th May 2024, 10am-4pm.

There will be the grand unveiling of the largest painting yet! (of Barmouth).

Last month, Sue said “I’ve finished my Barmouth painting! There are 39 boats and over 150 windows and doors on the buildings in the painting. What a marathon! It took over six months to paint it.

I will be holding an Open Studio in May so that people can come and view the whole, huge painting at 90cms x 70cms.“

I have added lots of local scenes since my last open studio, also held at my house in Newtown. There will be originals in oil or acrylics of local scenes on sale as well as framed giclee prints for sale. These are all available for sale on the website in the online shop, so if you see something you like, mention it to me and what your favourite is, and you are then welcome to purchase it immediately at the open day or later in the comfort of your own home.

The Open Studio will be held at Bodlondeb, Back Lane, Newtown, SY16 2NH. Look for the black and white house with bay windows. There is free admission and refreshments will be provided.

Summer foxgloves looks lovely in its frame

It’s a while since “Summer foxgloves” was completed, but I finally took it to Tim at Frames for Homes, a local framing company. He has done a great job using a simple but classic wooden tray frame. I really like this style of framing, where there is a gap between canvas and frame. It gives the picture space and stops it feeling crowded by the frame.
I am pleased with the looseness of brush strokes in the painting, which gives a good impression of the tangled grasses and plants on the hillside.

An exploration into Virtual Reality

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been busy setting up an exhibition in cyberspace. It really is possible! Who would have thought it?

The platform I’m using is FrameVR. It does take a bit of time to learn to drive your avatar and then to position artwork on the virtual walls, but the experience is mind-blowing- to me anyway!

Click here to enter my virtual reality art gallery.

People can visit the exhibition as an avatar, and can move around at their own pace, viewing the pictures. They can also see and talk to other people in the same space.

If you would like an invitation for a personal tour, please get in touch.
