Definite explosion of colours going through my mind as I get ready for the weekend!

Picked up the brush again

Felt inspired to paint this weekend, must be the Countdown to Christmas event at Southsea Library Gallery next weekend that's inspired me.

I started several pictures about 3 years ago and never finished any of them, funny that back then I didn't have a clue what to do next, or how to finish them off, it's almost like they had to wait for this moment in time. It feels like a finishing time in my life - a clearing out of the old in preparation for the new beginnings.

Next exhibition 1st & 2nd December

A space came up, a training day got cancelled so I went for it and will be exhibiting at Southsea Library Gallery on the 1st and 2nd December with Art In The Library - Countdown to Christmas.

There will be 19 other artists work on display and for sale.

Its free entry - so why not come along and support your local artists.

Looking forward to Art in the Library, Southsea on the 1st and 2nd Dec, maybe it will inspire me to start getting creative again.

Dada South becomes Ardent Hare

I have just become a Patron of an Ardent Hare artist with disabilities. Christopher used 2000 condoms in 22 days to make an amazing sculpture. Love it! Why not join me in supporting the amazing work that this charity does to help artists with disabilities.

Time for art - would be nice

At least I am increasing my photo library and one day, I may get to paint this stunning view, taken on the way to Portsmouth. It was noisy there (just off the motorway) but a rare moment of calm in my hectic life.

Art on the Pier

Last week I exhibited at Art on the Pier and sold 2 pictures and some cards - which was brilliant! It was quite exhausting standing there for two days, especially with the amazing weather but I had fantastic support from my family and friends which made it so much easier. I had some great feedback as well from Sally who bought Squares I:

"Jane,



I thought you might like to know that squares I are now up in my hall having bought them on the pier on a spur of the moment. The curtains are going to have to go!!!


They are very much admired - I will pass on your web site details - who knows.


Regards


Sally"
