Sale Going Well !!!!

Considering the awful weather we had last week my sale is going well...sales on line are going well too...  We are delivering 3 paintings tomorrow to a lady after I have been to the RSH to have an endoscopy....the painting above has always been one of my favourite ones.. I love the purple poppies and brown foliage..

I love the dragonflies on the above painting--they show up much better in 'real life''

and the photos of the Chocolate Poppy do not do it justice-- the centre is very 'touchy feely'' melted wax...

Ha d a call from the photographer who came to take pictures for the local paper about my sale.... he had shown his wife the photo of me holding the above photo- and when she saw it she loved it-- so he has bought it for her as a surprise....

And when we go down to Devon next month we will be delivering 4 paintings to a lovely lady who has bought off me several times before.. Stormy Skies is a big one-- 3ft x 3ft so quite big to post...and as we are on holiday nearby we have arranged to take them with us and get to meet Angela at last!

I love the colours in the Birches...

This was a one off--- quite fancy doing another one on a bigger canvas--this one is 16in x 20in

This is also another favourite one... its so tranquil...

I have reduced all of my Shabby Chic slates --they are now just £3 each or 2 for  £5

Koi Carp sold on the first day of my sale here... its encaustic wax on perspex...

these 2 went same day,,

Was happy to see a couple of  early watercolours sell to the same couple  too..

another of my watercolours went too..

Cards have sold really well... and my stand is much emptier now....

there are not that many tiny paintings left either-- but I have sorted out a load of craft/card making materials that I will not get round to using..  so if you enjoy making cards etc... there is sure to be something you will like!  Lots of bargains to be had.. and we are staying open for an extra day as it is Bank Holiday Weekend... so open all day on the Monday  instead of finishing on Sunday..  So thank you all so much for all of your support so far--- another week to go-- will be lovely to see you-and the weather forecast is looking good as well!

Fundraising Art Sale

Well after what feels like months of planning we are all set for the fund raising Art Sale for the O'Connor Haematology Unit at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.... My lovely daughter came round to help Bill put up the little marquee on our drive...as I'm unable to do much these days..
Its quite a good size,,

I have got up a good selection of paintings... all are being sold at very good prices,,,, much cheaper than on line...
as well as paintings on canvas I have found a load of original paintings on canvas paper in mounts, that are ready to frame..all shapes and sizes and mediums...

I have got lots of my miniature paintings for sale too... prices are starting at £5




I have oils, acrylics and melted wax paintings for sale..


also a couple of boxes of paintings that had no room to hang,,,



some of these paintings have not been out on display for a few years..

I'm sure there will be something for everyones taste...

this is one of my favourites,,The Sunshine After The Rain

very true.....

WE had a much needed break mid afternoon when Bill collected our little Tommy from school...

such a happy little boy... he loved supervising Bill in the marquee after LOL..

There are a few quite rare pieces of art for sale -- watercolours is a medium I never really did much of... but there are some examples that I am quite pleased with for sale...

and also some encaustic wax paintings too... each one completely unique due to the nature of the melted wax. I will also have lots of art materials for sale, brushes, oil paints, canvas, art magazines, easels.. also some button bouquets.. and even some bric a brac....
