Monday Morning Excitement

'Winter Inscape,' oil and acrylic on canvas, 12 x 16ins

Last week my work was viewed by the owner of a gallery called Art Pull, which is not far from where I live. I was very pleased that this painting has been chosen for an exhibition starting in December! It was wonderful to get positive feedback on my paintings in general, and encouraging that my recent works were singled out for praise.

This morning I'm hoping that my new stretchers will come. I'm fired up and ready to start new paintings. Until then, I'll work on my book, which is very near to completion. It just needs one more read through. My margins are set, the formats sorted out. I feel incredibly excited.

Seasonal Journey



'Seasonal Journey,' oil and acrylic on canvas, 90 x 70cm

 Today, with the clear signs of brown edges on trees in our garden, my mind turned to thoughts of Autumn. It's late this year, and the warm flush of colour always enters my work in some way. This painting embodies how I feel about the journey into Autumn.
