Exhibition..

Most of the exhibition space is in a long corridor that is well lit with natural lights and spotlights as well..

There was plenty of room to hang the paintings and all the working out before hand really paid off....all the paintings were numbered with the panel number they were going on as well as having the usual labels with price/medium etc on them.

The Birch Tree Panel...

Large oil landscapes panel..

The Encaustic art panel--all created using melted wax on perspex..

This is one of my favorite pics ...called Two Faced--there are 2 spooky faces in the centre of the painting,,most folk can see the main one but not the second--and loads of people can see other faces in there that I cant as well!

I love the ccolours in this one!

This one called "Rose garden" has lots going on in there when you look closely as well...

Oils and acrylics panel..

A mixed media panel...all sorts going on here--the Flames Of Passion one is one of my favorites--the flames are very textured and tactile..

a few more oils and acrylics...

The final panel -again a mix of oils acrylics including a couple of framed ones!

Set Up At Bishops Castle....

The space at Bishops Castle SpArc'S where my solo exhibition is being held is just great!                                           Light and airy and loads of room on the panels to display everything!                                                                                      Me and Bill had spent days at home measuring out the space and deciding which paintings were going where...labelling and numbering each one,making sure each painting was 100% perfect and a doing a bit of touching up when  needed...

It really paid off---the photos do not do it justice..the lights are catching the twinkling stars on the Blue Moon painting..the middle of the 4 canvas poppy painting is showing up beautifully and the textures on the seascapes are looking good..

All melted wax paintings on this panel;.

This one called "Two Faced" always creates interest---there are 2 faces in the centre of the painting--and some people see more in other parts of it as well...

Lots of things to see in this one too,,,

Rose Garden..

Birch Tree Wall...

A good mix of my Birches paintings..

Some of my favourite subjects...

I haven't shown my Flames of Passion pictures for a while....I love how they look here!

Some of my workshop subjects shown here..

Some more of my subjects shown here..its such a lovely setting  here--will be calling by on Sunday to drop off some browsers!

Art From The Heart Exhibition

My next solo exhibition " Art From The Heart" will be opening on Friday 2nd Nov so I have been really busy getting the paintings ready to show there. There are 9 panels to hang the paintings in so the easiest way of working out what paintings went where was to move the van off the drive and get the tape measures out and mark out the area for each panel!

Ive got a good mix of old and new paintings to show there, oils, acrylics and encaustic wax...

It made life easier to lay them out and get an idea where the paintings would be hung..

then it was time for a close inspection and to touch up any bits of paint that needed it....then they were varnished so they will be dry in plenty of time for Thursday afternoon when we take them to hang..

I'm really pleased with how the new 2ft square poppy paintings look now they have been varnished..

I love the teal colour

Bill had a few paintings to string/varnish etc and Paddy couldn't resist flying from the front room to the kitchen to inspect what he was doing!
