Original Art Under £100

Some of my paintings are featured on the homepage of a fantastic new website, Original Art Under £100, where you can do just what it says on the tin: buy affordable original art from a variety of artists. I have 12 items for sale there, some of which I've pictured here. It's a great concept, minimalist,  easy to use site, and the man behind the curtains is incredibly nice. Hopefully it will take off. Have a visit HERE and let me know what you think! You can go directly to my own page HERE as well. Unfortunately, the link to my website just takes you back to this blog, but hopefully before long I'll have my official art website to link to.

Early Bird no.1 & Late Autumn House

Determined to get some headway today, I managed to come up with three possible designs for prints. The Early Bird no. 1 has had a final touch-up and I came up with two lovely colours to try out at the printer tomorrow: what I'll call "dunkin' egg yellow" and "soft green". I'm really happy with them, and I hope they reproduce well. 

I also whipped up a simple little ditty called Late Autumn House. The illustration started with the tree in the forefront. I saw a similar tree at Howletts last week that has stuck in my head ever since... with one tiny little yellow leaf holding on for dear life at the end of each branch.

an experimental trip to the printers brought some pleasing results this morning. it might be just the thing I need to fill my etsy shop with stock in time for christmas goodies...

How About Some More Birds?

Owls? Not sure! But birds nonetheless! Happy Thursday!

No Place Like Home #3

I was on holiday with my family (including my Mom!) in Ireland for a week mid-May and have had trouble getting back in the virtual saddle since then. This third painting in the series No Place Like Home was started before I left and finished just after returning! I didn't have it with me! Thought I better put this  up here before I lose track of where I am. :) More soon.

No Place Like Home - #2

The second of this series.. measures 10in X 7in.

I feel a bit like I've been caught up in a whirlwind until today, when I slept in later than I have in recent memory. I guess I needed it. Listed 1 kitty 1 bird 1 mouse in the shop just a few minutes ago, and I think the painting above is finished. I have some time dedicated to nothing but creativity (and perhaps some overdue housecleaning)soon, so expect to see lots more where these came from! :)
