Development and thrilling moves

So much going on. I've got lots of new work happening and avenues opening up.  Sales routes are still difficult in such a huge online market, but that's what's happening just now, so I just have to get on track with the way sales work currently and go with the flow.  It's fun yet challenging.  Happy days.

catch-up

It's ages since I last posted; I've been sketching, getting a batch of National Trust images together for some potential business...and then must get back into my collages and my business planning. I always have far too much to do than I can fit into the time I have.

Flexing and honing artistic muscles.

I've found the past couple of weeks of visiting places of interest, amazing...and I have used some of that to hone some sketching skills...I suppose it might seem second best to sketch images that I have photographed, but it really is a totally different feeling of achievement, and I'm never trying to compete with a photograph when I sketch...anyway, here are a few of the sketches I've made.

The most inspiring times.

I've had some inspiring days taking photo's and building a volume of images that I can use to produce artistic work through Autumn and Winter.

A special week.

I often find it difficult to find time to do all I want to do in a week. This past week has been an inspirational one. In a way I threw the towel in and got so much more out of it than the usual seven days. Following my visit to Bodnant gardens, I joined the National Trust, and within two days Barbara and I were off to Plas Newydd on Anglesey. I cannot believe that in all these years I have not visited before...We had a great photo-taking visit...awesome, almost beyond words and that reservoir of inspiration is overflowing now. It stirred the writer in me...what stories this place could tell, the artist, because it is the most amazing place. I want to go back and explore the house...I want to sit in the gardens and paint and write...I want everyone to join the National Trust and experience these wonderful places. It cost me less than £30 to join for a year and I am now able to visit all the sites in England, Wales and Scotland for free. (email me for joining advice on linkz@talktalk.net)...
