Limited Edition Giclee Prints advertised in Art Business Today

An additional piece of information . . . the current edition of Art Business Today, January 2012 Issue1, is advertising my Limited Edition Giclee Prints.  Time doesn't allow me to take them to many outlets so I thought this may be one way of reaching further afield, we will see. 

The magazine is an interesting one, providing information to all kinds of people connected with the art world and offers sound business advice - curiously there is a good article about 'Why blogging matters' in this edition!

The beginning of a New Year, 2012

First of all, a very Happy and Healthy New Year to you. 
It has taken a little time to gather myself after Christmas followed rapidly by Grace's birthday but life seems to be back to 'normal' now.  Classes have been running for 2 weeks and Nat and I have begun our sessions at The Grove Residential Care Home in Solihull.  We had a really enjoyable morning with Ros, the Activity Organiser and the residents last Friday.  We will have some photos and information on the website www.sustainingthepersonwithin.org.uk very soon.  Kathryn Pettitt and Marilyn are taking sessions at Rayner House, Nick Logan and Amy are at Shepherdson House Day Centre and Victoria Littlehales and Sarah are at Blanning Day Centre, so there is a lot going on this term.

On a personal note, a couple of alterations to my last blog - the picture I sold at Ernst &Young was 'The Picnic' not 'Boats lined up' and the window easel at the RBSA was in fact double booked so my painting of 'Shirley Brass Band' is going up the first weekend of February!  All very confusing but never mind.  I have had an encouraging chat with the owner of the Torquil Gallery in Henley in Arden and will be showing a few pictures in the Spring, and I hope to re-kindle my connections with the Purple Gallery in Bournville, another lovely venue.  I am trying to introduce my Limited Edition Giclee Prints to different outlets - the lastest little plan is to show a new print of a recent painting of Snowdon at Pen-y-Ceunant, a tea house at the base of  the Snowdon Path, Llanberis - and possibly elsewhere . . .

 It's probably quite mad, but the owner was happy - Bless him he didn't want any commission but asked if I would make a donation to the Mountain Rescue Team.  We got to know of this place on our return from climbing half way up the mountain, sounds feeble but we did start after lunch, and it was a bit windy!  We were more than glad to reach the tea house and after we devoured his delicious Barabrith and a cup of tea, we discovered his gallery!  So if you are around that way later in the year . . . . . it's well worth a visit.  (There is a rather steep climb to get to the tea house, which made us feel that we had no chance of reaching Snowdon's summit but don't be put off!)
