The butterfly effect

I was in Swinley Forest this evening gleaning inspiration for a new series of wood scape scenes. This photo is of a patient Speckled Wood Butterfly that I happened across which kept nicely still. Unfortunately while I was occupied the Horseflies were busy too.

Nosey!

I had a few sniffles after this nose went to a new home on Sunday. I'm on maternity leave and am already missing Bayswater Road. Time now to reflect as a painter and smell the roses!

Bayswater Road weird and wonderful

A new artist Gosia Kryk has joined Bayswater Rd, I've just uploaded her to the website;
www.bayswater-road-artists.co.uk
I'm very impressed by her pitch. That's what I love about Bayswater Road, as anyone fascinated by painting - there is so much weird and wonderful art to see and every week it is a unique experience.
This is a photo I took a couple of years ago which shows the road in summer time.

Coming up Roses

Am receiving lots of enquiries via the website
www.bayswater-road-artists.co.uk
from Artists about exhibiting at Bayswater Road this month. I'm encouraging everyone to see the road for themselves and research.
There's a minority of painters who sell well and frequently but there are many who don't. It's not always rosy for the artist at Bayswater Road.

ArtWeb

ArtWeb who host my website selected me as one of their featured artists on their new Facebook account which was nice surprise. This is the image I gave them, of my Bayswater Road Pitch. Normally my paintings refuse to hang straight on the railings because of the clips I use so this photograph is unusual.

framed

Today I found the small frames for my surrealist images, at last!
Despite not being able to carry larger pieces to Bayswater for the time being, I am still painting them. This Hot air balloon floated away to a new home on Saturday.
