Messing around with paint and bringing a bit of creativity to your day

NEXT EXHBITING

I’m very excited to be taking part in Berkhamsted Art Society’s Winter Exhibition, starting on Friday 4 November.

It’s at the Civic Centre – a brilliant, central location in Berkhamsted – and showcases the work of many local artists.

I’ll be there every day to show you around. There’s lots to see and buy, including original art, ceramics, textiles and greeting cards.

Hope to see you there!

PS That’s my painting on the poster!

In case you were thinking of putting original art on your Christmas list, I thought I'd let you know what I'm currently selling. Just spent a very lovely couple of hours in the company of Joan, Lindsey, @sheiladerosa and @rachelrichards_art getting Open Door's Winter Wonderland exhibition on the walls. More of yesterday's messing around in the studio. Using another splodge painting I made ages ago, I 'found' a plant using pink paint. The brilliant agency - @cottage_boutique - who look after my mum's place in St Ives have done a blog about great places for coffee while you're there. Mount Zion Coffee got a worthy mention 🤎 Life's been getting in the way recently, so it was good to get back in the studio today. A HUGE thank you from me and Bob* to everyone who voted for him at @berkhamstedartsociety's recent exhibition 💕 I wish I could say that he won gold, silver or bronze, but I'm still chuffed to come joint 4th out of 250 pieces of art. It's a thing, OK?! 😉 Bonus beauty at the Barbara Hepworth Museum on Friday 😍 I knew it was worth holding into my old stag shower curtain! All set up at @ashlynscraftfair - come and see me in the Creative Classroom, where you can join me to design a Christmas card with watercolours, masking fluid, wax, salt, pastels, pens, pencils... I've got it all! Ever since I worked at the BBC, I've been a wannabe graphic designer. I went on Illustrator, PhotoShop and QuarkXPress/InDesign courses and got to dabble in my roles at the Beeb, then at @parkinsonsuk. But my roles were mostly about writing, editing and making plans.
