After the party Catchup!

So it’s been one week since my college exhibition, and I’m not going to lie I am still buzzing from it.

The Exhibition went well the room was crowded with visitors, the booths looked amazing and all students were happy with their setups.

It was my time to shine, to showcase what producing a body of work can feel like – and I loved it!

My booth and table went together so much better than I could have hoped for and with help from my biggest supporter (My fantastic husband!), we created a display that showcased each piece of work perfectly.

I had 3 collections that totalled 17 pieces of work available for sale, an A3 Display folder of additional works produced, a journal used for notations, ideas, general practice work and lastly, a small watercolour sketchbook I had taken out for plein-air work.

The day was amazing and I am delighted to say that I sold 4 pieces on the day, and another 2 since then.

The day was a success, and a fantastic celebration to the end of the year’s study.

A Sense of Place

I have finished another year of Art College with Art Academy East. Honestly, it is such a fantastic feeling, it’s been a long and significant year of learning, culminating in a final project to create a body of work that is shown to our family and friends as an exhibition.

We were asked to investigate “a sense of place” For me I resolved this as the Norfolk Coastline, and specifically, Cromer. It’s a place that means a lot to me, for many reasons, and my hope is that the collection represents my feelings in painted form.

Here I shall show the completed pieces.

I created 3 collections of work, and I am proud of the results.

I hope you enjoy these paintings.

I, along with my peers are having a student work exhibition on 1st July at the college, invited guests will be able to view all our work and how we individually resolved “a sense of place”.

I can’t wait to showcase my work to family and friends, this is possibly the proudest I have been so far of all my achievements.

One mark a day for 365 days

I saw on a Facebook group at the start of January, a challenge to make 1 mark a day for every day of 2023.

Here is the result for January 23.

Do I like it? Nope!! But I’m not sure I am meant to, the point is to create everyday.

Have I done that? Nope!!! I have had to fill in several days at a time, but the intention is there, that’s what’s important isn’t it?

This month I used acrylic pens, watercolour pens and distress crayons. It will be interesting to see how they all react as the layers increase.

The plan, currently, is to update you at the end of each month, to show you progress, and to keep me accountable.

I hope you stock with me, and give appropriate encouragement along the way 😉

Until next time…..
