Bonjour
Wow Life has got busy again, commissions, visitors to my atelier, artistes dans les rues events and art markets.
This makes me so very happy, an artist feeds off reactions to their work good or bad and to have people commissioning work and buying speculative pieces is great, means I can eat too !
Portraits
Still passing studio time enjoying and learning from portrait work.
Beth Reeks a well known art model in Norfolk, posted a fabulous photo of herself on line and I couldn’t resist, I felt the style suited pastels
May 2023
Four days last month were spent with a group of plein air painters of many nationalities, mainly eastern european, back in Moussoulens near Carcassonne where I painted last October.
" 24x30cm oil on linen Available to buy
"La porte d'Aude, Carcassonne" 24x33cm oil on linen canvas Available to buy
The weather was kind and we had a great time working and socialising together, with a final expo. supported by the village Maire.
I slept under canvas for the first time in about 15 years !!
It is the season of Fetes any excuse for a party, I painted at Le Foire de la Grenouille in the next village a couple of weeks ago. (yes it does translate as the fair of the frog)
I chose a spot in the shade where a clown was performing, as the crowd was pretty stable. The painting sold from the easel always a great feeling.
