New artwork.

This week I've had a little bit of time off work to recover from a very minor illness. This means that dotted around my flat you will find quite a few little canvases. My plan today is to get them photographed and uploaded here on my blog and on my website. watch this space :)

Creative colour challenge.

"/>



Over the last few weeks I've been taking part in the creative colour challenge. I was invited by Louise Gale (believe it or not!). The story of how Louise and I met is an interesting one.

In the early stages of setting up my website I thought that I would google my name and see what happened. I typed in Louise Gale artist and another Louise Gale who, you guessed it, is an artist came up. I followed a link to her facebook group and since then we have become friends on facebook and started to get to know each other a little. During the process of getting to know each other we discovered this: We went to the same art school in London at the same time, 1989 - 1991! Recounting this story still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Taking part in the creative colour challenge has been a challenge (the clue is in the title I guess). It involves making an image using just black, white and one other colour. I've thoroughly enjoyed making a mess with paint and getting it behind my fingernails! It has also given me a little break from making the art for £1, and kept the creative juices flowing around here :)

Thank you for inviting me to take part Louise.

Artist's Directory

Quick post to let you know that I've set up a page for the 1 million project on Artist's Directory. I jumped at the chance to set this up after they contacted me via Twitter. It's a great site if you are looking to showcase your art, go take a look.

Here is the link to my profile page over there.

Ebay

We've decided to open an ebay shop "art-for-one-pound". It means that we can list our paintings for longer periods and get a lot more of them online. Here's a link
