Poppies and Mucking Fuddle!!!




Well we went to the Art Bay Gallery in Stoke On Trent yesterday and delivered 8 paintings that will be on display there from next week Thursday Dec 6th.
Cheryl and Alan who run the gallery are really looking forward to the opening next week.
We have all sorts of exciting things in the pipeline coming up--watch this space!!!!
Didn't get chance to go shopping either!!!
Have been working all day, and most of the evening, on the poppy commission.
It has so many different layers of paint glaze, all in different shades of red, each layer of glaze has to dry completely before adding another, otherwise it isn't a glaze, it will mix with the wet paint underneath and become another colour, instead of enhancing the colour you've just put it over. So lots of work!!!.
In between waiting for the glazes to dry I have been working on the latest in my ''Manic ''series of abstract paintings.
I have called this one ''Mucking Fuddle'' a little tongue in cheek title, as most of the series has had.I realised when we got back from Stoke that I didnt have any of my Manic series to display in the''From Small Acorns'' exhibition next week. I had either sold them or they were in exhibition at Stoke!
So I got started on the latest, and Im really pleased with the result-fingers crossed it dries in time to take with us when we go to set up on Tuesday!
Its painted onto a large canvas 40in x32in, in oil .It will be dry enough to post in a couple of weeks, all being well-and the cost is £250 including P+P in UK
