Art Trail Musings...

This weekend we survived a really busy two days of visitors, had many many conversations and met lots of very encouraging and generally charming art trailers.

I was a bit nervous but didn't really need to be. I guess most art trailer types are genuinely interested in seeing the work and meeting the artist. I actually am reminded why I enjoy the whole process of making art, from beginning to end. The icing on the cake being the happy purchaser!

Thank you if you came along.

I'm back at work getting ready for the Padstow Christmas Festival in a week or so.

Glad and grateful to be a busy artist.

Snow, trees and rabbits

I've realised just where my love of trees and snow comes from...

These watercolours were painted by my lovely mum at least thirty years ago. I think I've inherited the gene from her! THANK YOU!

The three little children are me and my brother and sister... I'm the smallest.

It's a few hours now until we open the doors for the Art Trail. I'm a little nervous but excited to see if people like what I've been fixating on recently.... Trees and snow.

No rabbits though.

Competition!

If you would like to win some vouchers to buy some fused glass then enter this VERY easy little competition!

Padstow Christmas Festival

I'm excited to plug this little collection of work to be launched at the Picture House Gallery during the Padstow Christmas Festival this December... It's a great event that the whole town gets involved with.

The work is inspired by winter and is all about the River and the sea. So if you are in the Padstow area on the 7-9th December, pop in to the Picture House Gallery, particularly on Saturday between 12 and 3, as I'll be there!

There's also a chance to win a piece of my glass worth £100, if you go to the galley website...

Big wave

Today's work...at its first stage. Each layer has to dry before being painted over again.... The final process being a sprinkling of glass powders and grains. It's just been put into the kiln for a night firing.

The whole process is one that teaches me to be patient!

Assortment...

Just a little assortment of the different glass pieces I have made over the last few months. (Actually one is acrylic on board). I think I work with the seasons...

You can see more on my website...

Studio Corner

About 3pm today, this little corner of my studio was sunny, warm and full of shadows and reflections... Autumn.
