Looking back and moving forward

I have had a good long break from the routine but have not stopped thinking about making my work I never switch off from the thoughts but its good to stop the physical action of making it. It has been a great summer and I have had no desire at all to leave these shores. 

I have been invited to show in a beautiful gallery in Bath in November so have started the process of getting this show together. Thinking how I want this large body of work to look and what story I want to tell. I am now well and truly back to the studio with one distraction coming in the middle of this month....a big birthday. A chance to have a big party to match it and get together with my dear friends and celebrate!!!

My Cups and stuff…….

They arrived!! Cups, plates, jugs and a tea pot in blue and red colour way and I love them!!
I am just designing the label before I start the marketing. I have sold quite a few bits already to my lovely friends that are so enthusiastic about them. My little painting did not get hung in the Academy so it is back home with me but I have some plans for it and am going to take it to Bath. A beautiful gallery there have asked me to take a couple of bits to show in their summer show so it is a good excuse to go and explore Bath.I have not been there for many years and Beaux Arts is a Gallery that fills me with excitement to show in. It is a beautiful Georgian building that was two houses now knocked into one with a very elegant gallery space.
Having a coffee now using one of my cups as I write……Have a good week xx
