Great News!

I have been fortunate enough to have one of my pieces of work selected for an exhibition being held at Birmingham's NEC in November!

The Open College of Art (OCA) has been invited to exhibit their students work in the entrance of the show for the second year running. My peice (see picture below) of the woman face, done in watercolour and charcoal will be amongst them!

I'm sure everyones work will be of the highest of standards and I feel really chuffed that my work has been accepted. You never know, it may sell, in which case I will be doubly chuffed!

Mission accomplished!

Very pleased with this, general opinion of those that have seen my drawing next to the photos I was given to work from, have all agreed its a good likeness. Result!

commission

I've been asked to do a pencil drawing via a work colleague, of a freinds son and so far it's a nightmare! This is the third attempt, only partially complete, but fingers crossed it will actually end up being a fair likeness. I'll post again when its finished.....

..... a very new experience! And I love the result! True, it might not be worthy of exhibiting but I've hung it in my flat to remind me of all the bright colours around and to NOT take the creative experience too seriously!


The cat was an idea I adapted from a valentine card I received (yes, an anonymous one!) and didnt want to chuck it out but what to do with it? So having come across it again recently it gave me the idea to do my own version. I couldnt quite decide on the background so I just went with slapping on the paint.
