Canterbury Art Exhibition

The exhibition is now over but it was a fabulous even to be part of. Sadly, I didn't sell any but you may have a look at my two entries here.
If either of the ladies take your fancy, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I'm currently working on my latest commission for Mirjana, my favourite client. It's a set of three shoes and I can't wait to post the final result. I have completed the final drawings and will start painting very soon. I should have some images to post by late next week. Keep watching.

As for Mother's Day, it's still not too late to make a purchase or order.

Mother's Day

Mother's day is not far off and I've created some new artwork just for this special day. Pictured is a small collection. For a closer look, I've posted a few up on my website for sale or pop down to Hawthorn Arts and Craft market this Sunday between 10am - 3pm to check them out. I'll have more stock towards the end of the week.

Just delivered

I received a commission a couple of weeks ago to create a variation of one of my Patchwork on Paper series.
The top picture is the new commission for Giselle and below is the original (still available for sale and if you're in Kew, Victoria, pop into Little Smarties, 657 High St, Kew East to check it out).
Both have been rendered in watercolour with hand-beading and cross-stitching.

I'm back!!

Sorry to those who's been visiting my blog. My excuse? I couldn't log on for ages so I gave up for a few weeks but now I'm back.

Both my paintings are all set for Canterbury Art Exhibition commencing next Friday, 4 May 2007 - Sunday 6 May 2007.
I won't be attaching a photo of them in this blog until they have received it and done their photography for their website. I'll be delivering them this Saturday so hopefully it will on their site before the Exhibition commences.

Keep watching!

Gidget Foundation for Post Natal Depression

Today I've signed up to donate one of my paintings for a Mother's Day luncheon to raise fund for Gidget Foundation. For more information you can check out: http://www.gidgetevents.org/help.htm

On to my art matters, my WIP shown in my last post is not working out and I don't think it will be impressive enough for the Canterbury Art Exhibition. Because I'm limited to only 2 paintings I would like them to really 'shout'.
I started another on a 56cm x 71cm canvas board and it's based on the concept of my 'Blossoms…within' . The working title for it is 'Roses… within' and I've decided not to unveil it until it's completed. As it's painted on a canvas board, I'll need to have it framed which should enhance the painting.
Back to work!

WIP for Canterbury Art Exhibition

This is a re-work of my watercolour titled 'Isadora' but this time in acrylic on canvas. I am experimenting this design on canvas. This work in progress is only a small one - 40cm x 40cm. If this idea works, I'm looking to creating a couple of ladies on canvas at lease twice this size for Canterbury Art Exhibition.
So far, I've basically outlined the design and colours (bound to be altered) and added texture to the hair. I'm waiting for it to dry to see what effect the modelling compound will create for the hair. May need a few more layers.

As for my 'Rose' piece for my abstract class, well - it's gone horribly wrong and it is now living in the 'scrap yard'.

Artz Blitz

Phew! I've finally completed my entry for this year's Artz Blitz.
The theme for this 24hr competition is 'cycles' and I have interpreted it as the lifecycle of a flower. It's painted on a 60cm x 60cm canvas with acrylic.
At this point in time and I have about 2 ish hours left - I still can't think of a title.
Look forward to some comments.
For those in Melbourne, I'll be at Hawthorn Arts & Craft market tomorrow from 10am - 3pm. For more details, check out my website.
