MA Fine Art Studio Practice

Just started my first week at Preston on the MA Fine Art Studio Practice - very scary and overwhelming at the moment and it's only the first week!!

Another two great demonstrations at the Art Society - Norman Long and Julie Nash

Norman's small portrait study in oils was very informative and he really seemed to be lost in his artistic world (not easy in front of a room full of people) - well done him. Looking at his website is so inspiring and he is so accomplished.

Julie Nash's cat portrait in acrylics was again exemplary.  Julie is an old colleague (we did a life drawing course together many years ago) and she was good then, but BOY is she good now! 

Did Ride the Lights!

HERITAGE WEEKEND AT MARSH MILL

Extract taken from Gazette article:

A closer look within reveals puddles on the ground floor, for the mill springs leaks in the rain, buckets in place to catch the rain drops, fortunately well clear of the space currently used by local artist Ann Charlesworth for her first solo exhibition – this weekend.

Another Sale from the Fylde Gallery Booths....and it was my Angel!

Wow, it was great to hear the news that I had sold my Angel study at the Fylde Gallery (and this is the only record I have of it now as it has gone all the way down to Cornwall).

promised to mention RED ROSE PICTURE FRAMING if I sold my Angel picture - and I did, so here's the very friendly, very accommodating small business that framed for me....

Again thank you John for the kind donation of these photos - you're a really good sport

Garry Cook photography exhibition

This has now finished (again so far behind with blogging), but I went to the Preview for this exhibition - and it was really good.  It was interesting to see how someone else views Blackpool - showing an interesting mix of Human Behaviour and Cultural Stereotypes.
