Spent most of the day updating my website and shop - it's going live in a week - Friday 23rd April. If you'd like to come to my studio and do an ACTUAL REAL LIFE VISIT(!!!!) just send me a message and I'll arrange a time with you. I'm going to have some artist's proofs and one-off pieces on show which won't be online, as well as all my lockdown sketchbooks; I'll provide gloves/sanitiser etc so you can look at them and everything else in a covid safe way. Really hope to see some of you soon! Well that didn't turn out quite how I was expecting....although I do have one a bit like yesterday's sketchbook page which I might show you tomorrow if I can get it to work... 🤣🤣 In my quest to paint every jug I own (buckle up, it could take some time 😳) I'm now tackling this lovely graphic piece by @keneardley which has featured in a few things I've done recently. It's quite tricky and I'm not sure the pink works - I did the little sketchbook page in the last few minutes in the studio and think the colours work better so I'm going to have another bash tomorrow. Today's small painting on the easel. I'm married to an architect, who I think when he was at college, designing cool buildings, dreaming of his future life, didn't see it being married to someone with quite a large, and ever growing, collection of pink and gold teapots... 😆 and other colours of teapots as well, but really QUITE A LOT of gold ones... I know I should stop drawing these but I just can't help it... I've wanted one of these lovely @lucyrutter yellow jugs for ages and stalked them on @toast before finally getting my mitts on one. I'm now trying to do it justice in a little painting with some grape hyacinths from the garden. I did a couple of little sketchbook studies and then started a painting (top left). A wee bit to go on this and I can see it appearing in a few more things as well - it's such a beautiful colour and shape. I can't decide if this is a total red herring or not but I'm still trying to work out how to, and if I should even try to, incorporate my vast pile of patterned ceramics and textiles I've accumulated over the last 20 years (Stephen calls it a vast pile of junk 🤣 how rude!) into my paintings. One thing though, I am enjoying playing about with colour... Got some stuff out to start to get organised for my wee exhibition at the end of the month. Felt a bit overwhelmed - there's quite a lot!
