Nuggleton Tea Party at The Acorn Gallery

The original of this painting has been received and approved by the new owners and this is Poet Lenny, who appears in my work, receiving his limited edition print.

I have done an extensive interview for the Southport Visitor today about my ABNA exhibition in St Ives and this weekend coming up is the Nuggleton Tea Party at The Acorn Gallery in Pocklington, Yorkshire.  If anyone can make it along from noon till 2pm, there are mini cupcakes and tea and coffee and a chance to view some of my work.  My top artist friend Daniel Abrahams, who is taking the art world by storm, is a huge Nuggleton fan and will be at The Acorn Gallery with me to join in the fun and present some of his fabulous work.

A Colourful Exhibition

So proud to be an artist taking part in this exhibition and my paintings will be collected tomorrow and then delivered to Cornwall on Saturday.  My first year as a semi-professional artist and I could never have imagined this twelve months ago.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me and followed my blogs and facebook, it is very much appreciated and means so much to me.

I have taken a short break from Nuggleton to complete a commission, an acrylic on a very large canvas.  I really enjoyed the challenge and will definitely be painting more of these inbetween doing my Nuggleton work as I loved the freedom of working with large brushes for a change.

Cricketers

'Cricketers' is finally finished and will be with the framer today ready to be mounted and framed, then it will be on its way to its new owners in Yorkshire.

After struggling with the people as I am still new to doing them so close up, I am actually quite happy with the end result.

Riverside

Riverside is finished and off to the printers today, but I have decided not to put the final picture on until the new owners have received it, as it would be nice for them to be first at seeing everything in it and also to enjoy surprises that have been added.

Limited edition prints are available to pre-order from The Acorn Gallery:

I will be finishing 'Cricketers' this week and then I am working on a piece called 'Dog Show' which will include dogs emailed from fans, friends and family.  What fun!
