Phew! All done for now.

Yesterday, I helped hang my work at the Angela Mellor Gallery in Ely near Cambridge.  I think it looks good.  I do feel as if I have been a little like a hamster in the proverbial wheel this last couple of years, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
 

All I have to do now is price up all my prints, of which there are rather a lot.  They are a culmination of three years work, with little time to get them all wrapped up.  It is really fun to look back at all the different prints and techniques employed.  I am really rather fond of some of them, especially the ones where I managed to register three plates with different colours on one print!

I was so happy to hear that two of my pieces at the Albuquerque Museum miniature exhibition have already sold and one from my gallery in Boston, Newbury Fine Arts, so finally things are starting to move again.  I have also sent the two small paintings below to the 'On a small scale' Christmas exhibition at the Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh.

This weekend is my birthday and I have treated myself to a two workshop with Katherine Jones at Rabley Drawing Centre .  I have never quite managed to experiment with collagraph and block printing, so I am very excited.  I am sure there will be photos!

Then the following weekend I will be at the Angela Mellor Gallery to celebrate, so if you are near Ely on the 5th December, do pop in!

Until next time....

Exhibition - Edinburgh

I knew this would happen... we are finally closing on my Aunt's bungalow on Friday and guess what, Barry and I are driving up to Scotland with all my exhibition pieces on the Saturday! It's going to be a crazy week full of packing and finalising bits and bobs for my show.

So here is my invitation and one of my new pieces for the show.....but that's all for now folks!!

Pond Life box - photopolymer prints from original drawings, with pond insect etchings, oil painting on lid.
