The Strawberry Seller picture sold this week. I was a little sad to see her go but also glad that she was thought to be worth handing over money for. My garden painting show has been pushed back to December so I have time to do some more and really fill the gallery.
I have been playing around making music tracks on wii ware Mix Superstar. I might post some examples soon.

Moved into a new house. Finished my Garden Paintings for a new exhibition. Looking forward to new things ahead.
Softly she says, "The highway is my mart. Love do I sell, I sell the lovers heart. Cars by the thousands pass the mountain way. Then slowly she says, "It is the holy day" It is a day to love, and not to sigh. Here there is love, 'tis in the heart you buy. Grey is her head. 'Tis white for one so young. She has the eyes that no one yet has sung. "Strawberries I sell, cool strawberries'" she cries. Sweethearts I give you for the lips and the eyes. "Sweethearts," she says, "the highway is my mart. Love do I give; the strawberry is a heart." John Shaw Neilson 1934 The Strawberry Seller 2011 Finished these recently. Will do a few more including two larger ones the same height but twice as wide as these. I think that will be good number to show in Dr Elizabeth Arthur's small yet lovely gallery
Moved in and almost got everything in it's place. Making a start on a painting for the John Shaw Neilson Art prize. Also doing work on more garden paintings. Building up for a painting surge!
Moving house again. At least this time i have signed a 12 month lease. Cant wait to get everything organised and get back into the garden paintings.
These are almost finished painting's that are inspired by the Hamilton Botanical Gardens. I plan to exhibit paintings on this theme during 2011
When friends come and go.
When you don't meet the expectations of others. When love is not realised. When life seems pointless. There is always painting. The past month has seen some big changes for me. My middle son moved in with me permanently which has been good for me and him (i think). It means that i have to consider another person sharing my space and other adjustments. I haven't been painting since he moved in until this week. This photo shows works in progress from my series of Botanical Gardens images that i will be showing next year at Elizabeth Arthur Fine Art in Hamilton. |
