I haven’t been very active on my Blog for a while, but I have been busy with various projects, some arty and some not. \u00a0You know the sort of thing, holidays, cutting the hedge, plus a bit of watercolour tutoring. But now it’s September and the brushes have had to do some work, because it’s exhibition time again!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\"Watercolour<\/a>
Cooking with Gas! Watercolour, 8ins square<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one is another mixed show from the members of the West Norfolk Artists Association. The WNAA usually have a Small Works exhibition at this time of the year, but there’s a double theme this year – Small Works and Still Life. So my paintings will be small and still, but hopefully still exciting!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The venue is Greyfriars Art Space, St James St King’s Lynn, and the exhibition opens this Saturday 24th until the following Saturday 1st October. 10.30am – 4pm every day.\u00a0Hope you can make the show some time during the week – Margaret and I will be ‘in residence’ on the afternoon of the first Saturday, the 24th.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\"Watercolour<\/a>
Seven Bottles. Watercolour, 8ins square<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The two works that I’m showing can be seen here, both of them about 8 inches square, plus the frame. I rarely tackle still life subjects, although I have done a few over the years, but I really enjoyed the challenge. As the size restriction was quite tight, the whole picture including frame must be no more than 12 inches on the largest dimension, I tried to make my watercolours quite colourful, to make an impact even on a small scale. I used MaimeriBlu paints, which have some vibrant colours in the range, including a nice bright Cadmium Red Light which I put to use in the Cooking with Gas work. Other colours used include Berlin Blue and Lemon Yellow.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The framed works are about 9.5 inches square, and you can see them here. Each work is priced at \u00a3125. I’ll be back with more blog posts soon, as the painting season is upon us!<\/p>\n
